Wouldn't it also have white headlight surrounds? There are plenty of real sixes that have been modified and changes made. I was surprised to see my newly purchased '70 four has black headlight surrounds but that was probably done by the PO since he did some cosmetic "upgrades" like a lot of these cars are subject to. If the seatbelt pockets were welded in a real six chassis, well, that can be reversed down the road. It's still a six. What kills this cars value is not only was it built on a 4 chassis but its the wrong year. To a non 914 guy, its all the same. To someone who wants a real six, it was never a six, its a fraud. |

X2 - there is a difference twixt personalized cars vs vin-fraud cars
? does the advert link from Glenn actually show they have a 1970 VIN ??? (i don't see it) - some do mods on legit chassis for racing reasons, others for convenience or tribute or wannabe-gt reasons - and some of us just like the better technology & "go faster" attributes of our mods (antiques roadshow oem patina be damned) the USA 914/6 import spec 911T engine was not exactly a tour-de-force i always say that if Porche had a 3.2 & 915/916 in 1969-70 it could/would have been in a dealer showroom offer 914-x; as it were, they did install 2.4's in some later special editions & the 916 once they had 'em; - the $46K BaT sale of 4712909851 (among recent others) shows there is some appreciating market value in conversions - tho they are still only worth the sum of the parts "invested" imho "... can't build it for that", posted zak-the-seller - with which some of you now building 'em will agree There are plenty of real sixes that have been modified and changes made. ..... some cosmetic "upgrades" like a lot of these cars are subject to. To a non 914 guy, its all the same. To someone who wants a real six, it was never a six, its a fraud. X2 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) |
