Craig has it right, I'm in the Newport Beach Public Library, so not as attentive to 914 stuff as usual.
In the middle of a 10 day house swap with my brother and he doesn't have a computer at home. The day we arrived it was 86 degrees in Portland, 62 here, go figure.
Kevin, it will be a long time before I drive the six, needs a lot of work. The carbed 4 will be going in a week or two.
Brad, you're getting paranoid. I only remembered your post about the value of the green six (and my response) today when I went to your link on this thread (I said "no more than $5000", then paid more a month later, LOL!!!). I bought the car after seeing an ad for it on the Rennlist classifieds. I had no idea it was one of your "stake outs" until the seller told me you wanted the car when I picked it up.
All I can say is you were too slow making up your mind. If I can exchange several phone calls, receive email pics, negotiate a purchase, and drive 700 miles with a tow dolly to get the car, I think you were asleep at the switch. Don't blame me.

The car was a good buy, but given all the work needed, it was certainly not a steal. But then again, original, reasonably complete sixes are not found too often. I have seen many for sale at $12-16K which look nice but need most of what this car needs. I liked the idea of restoring the car for the first time.
