It is a pretty car....and it's finished, which is more than I can say for my efforts... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

But, apart from apparently non-matching, etc, there are a bunch of little cosmetic bits and pieces, easily fixed, which seemingly could have been done "correct" the first time, to make it a 6....or at least an early car. No point listing, they're pretty minor.

If it's so easy to do the little things "right" during assembly, and are missed, does that imply lack of detail on other more crucial areas... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

You mean like the passenger side top shock mount that is all crooked?

Or the missing (or painted over) VIN decal in the doorjamb?

Or the missing (or painted over) VIN plate in the front trunk?

Or the missing black goo around the front shock towers?

Or the passenger door rubber seal not fitting correctly?

Or the dust on the lower dash?

Or the what appears to be plastic sill covers?

Or the incorrect rubber cap for the rear shocks?

Or the front trunk release cable sheathing that is not clamped down?

Or the green body paint under the side mesh next to the engine lid?


And they didn't even show the underside ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Nice car though!

Add to that:

Black window cranks & int. door handle surrounds instead of chrome

Yes - Black Plastic door threasholds & carpet strips - instead of aluminum

Door arm rests/map pocket not upholstered to match tan interior

... all of the above are late 73.75 or 74 MY 914/4 features!

Gold Cad Plated F deck lid/hood springs instead of black painted

Cruddy looking old switches at dash & TS lever/handle (too hard to clean if not replace bezels?)

I'm sure the 6 officianados can add more to the incorrect 70 MY & 914-6 details as well.

Still, the $50k for a sorted 914-6 if it proved to be correct matching nos. or at least an "in the ballpark" 640xxxx case wouldn't be out of the ballpark for a fully restored -6 - given some sales of late - such as the Orange/Black $70k one back east for example, or sgrisanti's Adriatic Blue/Black one from the dealer in NY or NJ.
