Purchased for $1M and than restored....that’s a lot of coin invested. I’d be interested to hear George’s comments regarding this.


I love that even a $1M car still has rust! Won't after it leave Canepa's.

I'm sort of torn on this. Too many cars are over restored IMHO. But rust never sleeps and it might be hard to sleep at night knowing the tin worms are eating your $1M toy.

Oh, the horror! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Canepa's is amazing and when it leaves it will be better than it was they day it came off the boat but it will still likely have some tin worm infestation even if only between the sheetmetal flanges where various panels come together for spot welding. I'd be curious to see what Canepa's does to address the hidden and/or inaccessible rust.

Kirk at Automotivation did this car for the customer and we reassembled.

NOW the new customer who purchased it, wants it the original dark blue with the elephant hide interior and the original stripes, so has taken it completely apart to change it to this.

The problem is is that the car has been so many different things, that the only original state the car was in at any time was as a black 1971 stock 914-6.

When someone has all of the money in the world, what they want is what they want! Too bad, Kirk did a great job on a car that was absolutely through the mill with rust and wreck. Makes our silver car look like a virgin (which it is not because it was made at the Porsche racing shop!

(I hope that they get every screw in its proper place as Steve and William did!)

The car looked good at the Rare Shades event a while back.

But, at some point, is it even a car? Is it a collector's item? Art? A Golden Calf?

Will they even drive the thing?

Any hint as to who the new owner is?

I didn't think it looked that bad when I saw it at Rare Shades but I didn't climb all over it... in all honesty I thought the "Brutus" lettering was a little tacky.Attached Image

Maybe the stripes would've looked better in person. tire to wheelwell illusion. Yuck.

this is how I saw the car in November 1974 and still love it that way
its one of a kind and all the better for that !
the pinstriping and badges were the 1970s after all !
did anyone complain about the blue/yellow paint jobs on Penske's Sunoco Lolas of the late 1960s ?

cheers

I’m not an expert, but the only things I noticed was the rubber trim around the metal top. I could tell they did the best they could with what they had, since this weather stripping is unobtainable. There was also a gap on the top of the rear fiberglass bumper.
I don’t know how you could fix that without damaging the one of a kind bumper.

I don't understand the comparison photos of the handbrake recess.
what's the issue ?

its supposed be like the yellow impression...73 later had the bigger one


So which one is this? Are there three, or is it the same as the yellow one?


Pardon for going off topic, but how many 914s have cracks below the indentation? Were they created during stamping?

No one said this, or did they

Et tu, Brute? [ (et tooh brooh-tay) ] A Latin sentence meaning “Even you, Brutus?” from the play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare. Caesar utters these words as he is being stabbed to death, having recognized his friend Brutus among the assassins.
