I haven't checked, but figure this car has been posted on the Garage.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsche-914...sspagenameZWDVW My point with this forum is - why do so many people paint the insides of the F & R trunks black? Why would someone take a very nice 914, such as this, & (in my opinion) trash its resale value? I've seen this time & time again, on junkers & halfway decent 914's. To me, it's the death of any interest. I assume there's something to hide. Opinions |

Is that a "silver" 914-6" emblem on that car? Difficult to tell.
The black paint in the trunks looks like Ziebart that was sprayed there. I had the same stuff in my six when I bought it 15 years ago. It took a case of Goo Gone and many hours to clean it up. If this is an American six, then someone went through a lot of trouble to change it to a Euro look. Speedometer, side markers, etc. I don't see any other clues though to make it Euro. Still, $28K for a '71 six....I believe someone will snap it up. Give it time. Anyone want to cough up a qtr mill for a '54 speedster? From Greece no less. Don |

After a hot summer, the stuff started weeping from structural pieces of the F & R trunk lids, but was easily cleaned off with WD40. I still use WD40 every year to soften the Ziebart on my pan. I seriously don't think that's Ziebart on this six. I think it's black paint, and the cheap way to try to hide surface rust. I've seen dozens of 914's on eBay with the same or worse treatment. Pat |
