unmolested bone stock real six's - how many?, unmolested '70-71 914-6s - how many left? Options

[larryM]

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?

Larry. Thanks for checking in. Your site is a great contribution to the community and I had not seen your survey results.

Yours used a bigger sample size from a different data base than my quick one. the nembers seem very comparable. My race car definition was a bit more "strict" than yours. I only included obvious race cars. But the vast majority of cars in my "heavily modded" category would fit your race car category as most of them were GT modded cars and most had roll bars/cages. Combining my two categories matches your race car category numbers perfectly.

At any rate, I do not see a disparity in the findings. I used the exact same estimate of 70% of cars produced still exist. I would not be surprised if that number is a bit high, but still both SWAGs seem reasonable, especially surprising as they were arrived at independently.

Your insight into how international the market is is very interesting

Cool!!
