What we see as an untruth {best restored six} is compounded but the fact that the restoration was apparently done by a business who touts their expertise. The things we all notice are the little details, easily corrected if they really know their stuff. That has to make me wonder about what else was overlooked.
Here is their website and their feature on this car. http://www.caporsche.net/images/portfolio/...146/images.html Lot's of more detailed pictures, but what they show is more stuff done without attention to detail, which is a must for a true Concour car. (914-6's didn't have the vent covers in the door jam vents, Red as in Koni struts, wrong color lower heater blower hose [ should be tan]. . . also looks like a 911 metal air cleaner box in place of the real 914-6 plastic six box. Then there is the radio antenna on the fender but it has a radio delete panel in the dash. . Wrong type battery and installed backwards . The dash has a Green TN4 "Driving Light switch" emblem, while the grill shows TN2 Fog lens. . . The front bottom pictures look nice, but still no pictures of the bottom of engine and pan. The sad part is someone could buy this thinking they got "the best", and really got only a 'nice representation copy, with a 'period correct' motor. The good part is it just makes the real six's even more valuable. . . and shows how difficult it is getting to obtain all the correct parts. All in all, $50K is in the ballpark for the work done, but it certainly is not "The Best ". |
