Dubious if the car has 5894 original miles...

https://www.diamondmotorworks.com/1973-pors...arga-c-4254.htm

Short video of the outside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cAVkUUa1Xs

Has the VIN listed as "473291972" but assuming they mean 4732901972 which isn't in the VIN database.

Has the front euro turn signal lenses and the kit to relocate the parking light to the bottom, so some previous owner was detail oriented lol..

additionally can't find out anything about george duncan associated with porsche owners association of southern california.
normally you can throw that stuff up even that far back in time.

i get a whole bunch of different names with the association at that time.

maybe someone here old enough knows.

@JamesM
you alluded to verging on criminality not disclosing crash damage.
the documents with the car might get into that territory?
possible hoax dates back two decades?


EDIT
a clue.
amongst displayed documents.
looks to me like mid engined views (914 owners association newsletter) that has lost its cover.
dates from 2000 (stoddard ad)?
maybe this car has a story about it or pebble beach.
dates would be right.
if anyone has those from that time its probably in there?
