Let me first introduce myself as Andre's son. I actually found this car and decided to buy the car not too long ago. Unfortunately I couldn't go with my dad to the warehouse today to show Ron the car as I was at school. Let me first respond to all these posters and lurkers by saying that most of you make lots of assumptions without anything to back yourselves up. My dad and I collect, restore, buy and sell these cars as a hobby. I'm big in the early 911 scene. I have bought 2 original 914/6's this year alone. The first one earlier this year that I bought was a time warp and was too nice to do a full restoration, so I decided to sell it and make a buck on. I finally found this car a few months ago to restore. This was the perfect car for a restoration. It was very solid. Bought it from a man who knows the history from 1976. Beautiful color and of coarse complete. I just read Ron's response to this forum and it really brings a question mark to me how you inspect cars. First off, did you make pics of the areas that are in question? For example, you assert that the passenger side jack point is totally rusted off. Then you say the trunk floor is rusted through. Then you say that the transmission is missing?? Come on. When you open the passenger door, it is laying right in front of your eyes!!!! The trunk floor rusted through??? Then you say the carbs are rusted. Ok, there is a little bit of surface rust on the sides, but generally if someone says carbs are rusted that means it is rusted through the thick metal and is almost disintegrated. Then you say the heads are rusted??? The heads are aluminum sir. I personally checked every single head, and everything looks in great shape with NO RUST. Then you say the bottom and pan is rusty. I'm trying to figure out what exactly your terms of "rust" is. The bottom of the car has some surface rust. I will include pics I took last week here. Ron also mentioned that he couldn't open the front trunk. That is because you have to pull on the wire up front to open it. The latch wire is disconnected from the latch by the drivers door. And lastly, we are only interested in showing the car to interested buyers. We (my dad) doesn't have the time to schedule an appointment in the middle of the day and take 25 mins driving to the warehouse to show the car to a guy burning up my time. I am more than happy to show the car to interested parties, but please dont waste my time, because we have a very busy schedule.

Best regards,
Erick

As a comparison Erick, my '70/4 undergoing a bit of restoration. You probably wouldn't consider this "rusted through' either. I think a bit more candor on the car's description would be in order.

R. trunk,.....before restoration, rust discovery, repair, and finish
