Possible 914-6 Candidate for "The Few, the Rare...", Anyone own or know this 914-6? Options

[Tom_T]

Okay - as the title says - see below - but first ......
... So if I had been a rich kid in the 70's, this would've been my heartthrob 914-6 to order - 8410 (L98P) Blue Metallic with Beige Leather Interior & Mahle Gas Burners - although I might have waited until the 1972 MY & ordered it as a 99 customer color, in order to get the tweaked transmission (oh for a 73 914-6 with sideshifter!), bigger 2.2 or 2.4 motor, fully functional passenger seat, side vented dash, etc.

.... I've never seen one, but anyone know if such a 914-6 from any year was produced in that color combo above? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

.

However, in my web cruisin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
.... I came across this beauty of a Metallic Blue 914-6 with a black interior (don't recall where now), which looks like either an original & well preserved example for "The Few, the Rare..." - or perhaps a well restored example which may still qualify for that too.

... Anyone know it or recognize it - or better yet, own it??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
...... If so, how about we get some pix of it inside & out plus story behind it posted in The Few, the Rare..." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

We're waiting!!!!

So Skip - do you mean that the VIN is wrong for the 914-6 in my first post? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

... or if that Metallic Blue/Black 914-6 I posted in the first post is yours then -
A. It's a beauty! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

B. How about posting some pix of & background on yours - similar to what Steve G. did on his Sahara Beige 73 2.0 in "The Few, the rare...." nailed topic that Pat Garvey started here in O&H before his "retirement" - giving the 914-6 restorers & lovers out there some drool food - pleeeez!

I take it you have Illinois plates on it now? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
