What is the TUB difference between a 914-4 and a 914-6, not a GT just a 6, or are they the same makers, ie...Karman or ???

In the end...it comes down to the hysterical value....hysterical because the CWs that have to have an original spend absurd amounts of money to be original 'cause they feel they can "stand above the common", which is ok with me. Yeh, I sell OE parts for more than Porsches to the hysterical crowd.

It's nice to say that you own a 30 - 35 year old original, but if it is repainted, a switch changed or the engine / trans rebuilt, etc., it really isn't original. The only "originals" are the ones that were built and either never driven or driven a few miles and then parked (in a storage unit and later found in the desert).

So for me, a conversion is probably better than an "original". Better suspension, better window winders, more power, etc, etc. I would think a conversion will be driven far more than an original. Originals constantly worry about bird droppings, alien drivers, rock chips, etc. I like to drive my car (hard, and I've blown enough engines to prove that).

Now don't get pissed off from the first two paragraphs..it's how I feel, not how you feel.
