A friend of mine has a VERY nice car that I've mentioned in the past.
This weekend when I was at school, he brought his car out to work out some of the cobwebs. I snapped a few shots: Attached image(s) |

well it is an original 6, the fender flares had a couple of factory stickers on them that I peeled off and kept, yes the vin is not a factory built car but I know of 2 factory Gt's that were basically revived by using the only"original" thing on them left was the vin on the winshield.
I almost purshased a GT in Richfield utah, owned by this older couple, pushased in beverly hills in the 70's, it had the correct vin on the winshield but the plate with the vin on the right front fender was blank. It was a factory built car , that was a hillclimb car, crashed and had a front clip from a 72 done in Germany with a blank clip. the front hood had the headlight openings welded closed and the headlights were placed in the front bumper, a pair of round ones on each side. the front clip did not have the headlight buckets in it. the engine was not chassis matching, and a single plug motor, it did not have the fiberglass hood or trunk or bumpers, stock interior. It did have the GT cooling system with the thermostat. After being in contact with the lady for 4 years and making an offer of 25k for it, she sold it to some friends in Bakersfield CA. With all its shortcomings I still wanted to restore the car, and still would if it is ever for sale again, would I find the "correct" parts or very good reproductions???? would it be an original? or a restored VIN#? It would have been a great project. Then again maybe I just love 914-6s with steel fender flares (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
