just curious
1. - has anyone counted the number of "real sixes" that are roadworthy, or in true-back-to-stock-resto process, that are essentially "as delivered" bone stock & never "improved" with newer or later engines, transaxles, body & suspension mods, etc? 2. - how many real sixes '70-72 in any form are there that are road worthy or track-ready right now? 3. - how many real sixes upgraded to some form of "471" or GT-like prep, with flares, etc, that are currently road worthy or track-ready? is there a short list of VINs & owners for either category of these real sixes? . |

As for how many are left, I think the number is higher than a lot of people would expect. My best guess is somewhere around 70% (plus or minus a bunch) of these cars exist somewhere in the world in some state. With prices being so high lately lots of cars that should have been crushed are being subjected to very extensive and expensive restorations.
Prices for 914/6s in Europe are considerably higher than prices in the US. I have been tracking advertisements for these cars for a lot of years now and currently have information on almost 1600 cars. Every year I find at least 10 to 20 new cars that I didn't know existed. The market for 914/6s is global. Currently many US 914/6s are being shipped back to Europe. Not long ago, I got a request for information from a guy in Sweden who had just bought a 914/6 out of Japan. He wanted to know if I had any info on his car. My records showed that his car was sold out of North Carolina in the mid 1990s as a parts car due to terminal rust. He sent me photos showing a concour quality car. My old 914/6 just sold at auction in Salzburg. I sold it to a guy in Detroit and when he sold it years later it ended up in Switzerland. Not sure who bought it this time. I know of a few European /6s that are currently in the US. Most seem to have been imported many years ago. Here is a link to a small study I did last year about modifications to 914/6s http://p914-6info.net/Odd_Statistics.htm Larry www.p914-6info.net |
