I was told this car was fully repainted as part of the recent restoration.

QUOTE(Lavanaut @ Sep 12 2008, 11:38 AM)  I was told this car was fully repainted as part of the recent restoration. The only reason why i didn't think it was a full repaint is that people usually paint over the black goo on the front shock towers on the /6 cars. Looks like they either masked those off or put something similar to the factory goo back on their afterwards. Too bad they didn't keep the sticker on the door jamb. I wonder what the black karmann plate looks like ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy I wouldn't expect to see the DOT sticker on the door jamb if it was originally delivered to Italy. For that made I wouldn't have expected to see front side markers or USA directional lenses front and rear. Still, a very nice looking car and will certainly go over $30k. |

So it was side marker as turn signal + white upright light setup for the Italian cars? I always wondered why the ALL white light on Italian 914s while early 911s just got a bit more white in their white/amber front lenses... Thanks, pete |
