Early 914/6 car Options

VIN is 30011 & it came from the Factory with a GT kit including:

"twin plug heads; non-adjustable forged rockers titanium rods; 46 IDA carbs with steel carb covers; Koni shocks; Fiberglas rockers, front & rear deck lids; long studs."

- but narrow (non-flared) body.

The car - which has only covered 9979 km (that's 6,237 miles !) - is currently being painstakingly restored :

Hey, you two cut it out, or I'll make you move to separate states.

Still trying to figure out how I came out of this "having a problem with Andy for no apparent reason..." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Just asking questions and reciting how I came to understand the situation (Read: "my understanding"). Maybe if Andy doesn't understand the meaning of "my understanding" it came across like I was attempting to be some type of Internet expert on the subject. All I was saying is; this is how I was led to understand the situation. My simple post was met with a curt reply.

To me it is still not clear, no matter the amount of reading requested, if the word "production" plays a role as simply semantics herein. Even the last thread still leads me to wonder if this car is still the first -6 officially off the line (Porsche 01 thru #10 were developmental cars). I'm very sorry for this. I suppose it is because I'm really stupid. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I'm fairly certain it's OK for me to ask questions. I'm also fairly certain it's OK for others (myself included) to be wrong here. Even you Andy... you did the exact same thing to me in the tie-rod thread. I was asking questions, when things don't make sense to me I ask more questions. This is how I learn. Maybe you don't like it when I inadvertently question your wisdom. Allow me to make this clear; "I look to you for guidence in situations like this and others because you are so knowledgable." I don't enjoy being slapped by the teacher.

E.G.: As there are others reading this thread, could it be my question about Jürgen was directed at Tony, as he seems to have first hand knowledge of the situation? My question about 01... this is the "Internet"; maybe someone else had the answer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) These didn't need to be met with replies as such.

This kind of banter just simply bums me out. I don't think I elicited or deserve rude/curt replies in any way shape or form. I held and hold no malice herein.

Enjoy your thread because I don't enjoy getting my ass tanned for asking questions or posting my thoughts (no matter how imposably wrong I will inevitably be). Kinda sad because I "was" interested in the subject. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Oh please, stop it ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)


First, *if* you actually took the time to read my posts, you would see that i, by no means, claim to know all the answers.
I am merely pointing out that in my humble opinion, there is plenty of circumstantial evidence that #11 is not the first production 914-6.
We already know it's not the first /6 as there are at least two surviving /6 prototypes from 1968.

Now, the problem i'm having with you Eric is quite simple. If you go back and read through this thread you'll see that you misquoted me (deliberately i presume) numerous times.

I think i have a good idea as to why you do that (and you did the same in the other thread), and frankly, i does annoy me.

On the other hand, you now trying to make yourself look like the victim of some sort of "censorship" is laughable at best.
I never had a problem with you asking question. Or anybody else asking questions, for that matter.


So far, all i have seen from the people who support the original claim made in this thread is:

"It's true because i say so"
"I know a guy who's writing a book and he's going to say it's true in the book"


Those are the two main "proofs" presented in this thread so far, and i for one am not convinced.

Andy, I thought about ignoring this thread and allowing it to fade away, but I'm sorry, I've got to say that you're out of line here. I went back and reviewed this thread -- Eric made 2 posts prior to your criticism and in neither of those posts did he quote you. You may perceive some belligerent intent on his part, but as a disinterested third party, I see nothing but sincere curiosity. Relax, man, Eric's not attacking you.
