OT-1971-6 Factory Porsche on E-Bay(Buyer's Beware), This car came out of the "Rusty" MI. not CA!!! Options

[TJB/914]

Hey Guys,

Ref: 1971 914-6 Red Porsche on E-Bay out of Concord, CA. Bids are now up to $5K+

I hope this is not one of our 914-6 guy's?? I just want to run the red flag up on the seller's E-Bay discription. Maybe they don't know or maybe they do.

I can't remember who the local MI owner was (maybe Jim C or Tom K) but it was here in MI a long time. I was interested in it because it's a rare 1971-6 and was sitting in a Holland, West MI. car lot in February 2004. They had a hard time selling because it had motor issues and lots of other issues. I passed because it was rough. rough. I am passing this on because the discription is full of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) and we need to protect our 914 friends.

I am sure it's a real 1971 914-6, but buyer's beware before you overpay. I don't know how to post the E-Bay thread here so can review what the seller said.

CA born?? Nadda.

Contact the seller for more details, because there is more to the story. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

Here's a couple photo's I took on February 25th. 2004 in Holland MI. I think it sold for somewhere around $10K in 2004 with issues.
