This is purely a FYI post as I am not familiar with the car.
I did notice something very unusal. Take a look at the CARDEX. It states the car was equipment with a wood steering wheel. I acknowledge the accuracy of CARDEX's have been questioned alot recently, but...........is anyone on the list familiar with a 914-6 with a wood steering wheel from the factory? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=ViewIt...em=160852604301 |

The COA states the color as Signal Orange but the written presentation cleverly states it was painted factory code L 98P Metallic Blue, without stating that L 98P was the original color of this car. Would have liked to see a pic of the door tag with the color code.
Also, was the chrome bumper available alone, outside of the appearance group? The COA did not mention those specific features. |

Could you order a targa vinyl delete or wasn't targa vinyl included in the appearance group for -6's? |

QUOTE(KELTY360 @ Jul 25 2012, 09:23 PM) Could you order a targa vinyl delete or wasn't targa vinyl included in the appearance group for -6's? I believe there was 'the' Appearance Group. I couldn't tell you if it was all installed at Karmann or done (in the case of /6's) on the line at Zuffenhausen. Especially in the case of a color-change car, more likely it was done (i.e. not re-installed) at the paint shop. All speculation and conjecture on my part. Removing the vinyl from a /6 is not trivial and unlikely to be done on a whim. If you have to take it off for a repaint, it's an easier question to leave it off. So - 'Could' you delete just the vinyl from a /6? The real answer is i donno. But since - in 1970 - the Appearance Group vinyl was a clue - obviously not definitive but another clue - that you had a /6 and not a 1,7 - I'd guess few owners had much incentive to do so. |
