Could a member in Ohio do Mel a huge favor and go do a PPI with photo's on his car?

I've had a few people ask me about this car. I personally don't know Mel or his car. I'm just trying to help a member who is very ill.

My personial advice, if you are serious about the car, is to pay someone to do a PPI (Pre-Purchase Inspection) or fly out and inspect it yourself. I'd say it looks solid but needs going through to make it perfect. This is a French (European spec) 914/6 that Mel imported, which will add to it's value. This is a car you would restore only to it's original glory and never modify. A 1972 French market 914/6 is fairly rare and my opinion is that real sixes will in 10+ years be fetching real close to 356 prices.

First, good luck with your health concern. As to the fetching real close to 356 prices..very true-IF one was willing to let it go.

Reason, I was offer a REAL GT back in 82 ( asking was 25k)... I came home and advise the wife.
Her comment was - we can buy it, BUT I know you will never sell it. So appreciation is out of the question here.. Looking back, yes I should have bought it, but then I might be paying her via a divorce settlement by now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Good luck to any one that picks it up...yes it will cost you a ton of $$ to restore it.

I actually agree with this, and I'm approaching the idea with some trepidation but some excitement as well.

I've not heard any response to my PM/email -- hoping that doesn't mean scary news(!) -- but I'm quite attracted to this restoration project, and I'm sure only my kids would see any return value from it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I don't suppose anyone has direct contact info for Mel? Or, if he needs it, act as an intermediary for him? (feel free to contact me via PM)
