This appears to be a 72 and sure looks to have all the correct signs its a real 6. Even has the undercoating on the shock towers. It has a 914-4 vin number. |

Nothing about this car would make me think it is anything but a 914/4 with parts from a 1970 914/6 installed in it.

QUOTE(gms @ Sep 29 2011, 04:26 PM)  Nothing about this car would make me think it is anything but a 914/4 with parts from a 1970 914/6 installed in it. If it were that simple, I think it would have been picked apart right away. I had a second look because Eric and Andy weren't being so dismissive. The tar around the front strut towers and the hanger for the oil line are pretty good reasons to think it might be something more than a simple conversion. It would be cool to find out more. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) If it was the 70's and I wanted a 4 to look like a 6, it would be easy to move the oil line hanger to the new chassis and the tar on the front strut towers might have still been available at the dealer or at least something similar. There are some who go to great length to make their GT's look like the real ones. It would be easy to make a 4 look like a 6 with both cars sitting next to each other. It's hard for me to believe a 4 vin was switched into a 6 when it's so much easier (and believable) to switch the parts from a 6 into a 4. Even if this is somehow a real 6, it would be a mess to register and insure as a real 6 and then have to file a claim or resell. It could be a factory GT and without the correct vin or at least proof of the correct vin, it's now just a 4 shell. Just my lame opinion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
