Here is a link to an article on this—
https://silodrome.com/porsche-914-6-custom-roadster/ and the mecum listing https://www.mecum.com/lots/1117748/1976-por...ustom-roadster/ Probably not most people’s cup of tea, especially the purple . It’s a 75, custom rear flares not GT flares, a nice 2.2 /6 power plant, Phil |

Does anyone have a guesstimate of the number of near original /6’s that haven’t been hacked up, converted into race cars, crashed / scrapped, etc?
Even wondering if it can be ball parked say 3000 ish built - only x% survive? Can this be parsed out of the VIN database? |

VIN: 4762901148 That's not a 6 VIN so at least its a conversion not a Genuine factory Six. |
