Now it's not a real 6 and the motor is gone to Germany but it was FREE!
Story: The guy is a German exporter. He sells mostly 911's and ships to Germany. This 914-6 was going to Germany when the buyer decided he would pay to have it stripped and only the parts were shipped. The export guy posted on CL for a free 914-6 with 911 5 lug conversion. The car still has the 914-6 bulkhead mount. The 911 callipers are missing. It is a little rusty and a PO removed the jack posts. The exporter hacked the engine bay some to get the oil tank out. There's also a stress crack in the passenger door jam. Everything but the spare tire is in the front trunk. Back pad is there with retracting seatbelts behind. It has a BAR sticker for the engine conversion 2.4L. So it would be legal in Cali. I'm not sure yet what I will do with it. I do need a rear clip for a trailer project. I may part it out. The wheels I supplied to make it a roller. I will add the VIN to the data base.   |

The rear ??? does not look like a re-drill. KYB's in back. I only looked at it for a minute before I put wheels on it. No callipers front or rear. |

Hm...if you decide to part it out, give me first crack at the 5 lug. I'll even help you part it out.

I should mention, the dash has only a single crack. otherwise mint! Hard to decide what to do with it. Race Car? Driver? Parts?

Here's some more pics. I think East Cost guys and them dudes in the UK would kill for a roller with this much rust. I can't believe I'm considering cutting this one up.

"I think East Cost guys and them dudes in the UK would kill for a roller with this much rust. I can't believe I'm considering cutting this one up."
On behalf of the East Coast guys and them English dudes, I'd like to say we can't believe it either. Who do we have to kill? Seriously, though, I've just been at a PCA picnic and I spent a good hour discussing rust with a fellow 4 jack stands and a pile of rust owner and I think that if both of us weren't as deep into our projects as we are, it would probably be worth a grand plus the cross country shipping for either of us to have started with that roller. You'd have had to throw in four five lug VW wheels and old tires for the grand. Chris |

Try to sell it for a while before cutting it up. The 5 lug parts and bulkhead mount are $1000 by themselves. Someone could save a lot of time and money by starting with this car. They aren't making any more of these. John |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (PS I wouldnt need the 6 mount) I say make it a driver! I smell a suby conversion... It needs a lot of parts before it could be drivable. Forget the engine and tranny for a minute. The Export guy hacked the harness too. He was taking the engine out with a saws all, I think. It looks like this car was not driven in some time, years maybe. No brakes, just front rotors, master cylinder and rear prop valve remain. All other brake parts sent to Germany. I think he sent everything that came off easily. Front turn signal housings and head light assemblies were to time consuming to remove. Rear lights are gone. Gauge cluster gone. Shifter gone. I should pull the gas cap and see what's doing in the tank. It did come with a mint condition VDO 2-1/16 gas gauge mounted under the dash???? I would also need to track down a tittle to get it on the road. Bill of sale only. I would need another parts car to get this one going. The body is very solid. Not much rust. Even the passenger long is very solid. the hole in the side looks like damage and not rust through. The metal there is very thick and solid. I won't be doing any rust repair unless I decide to keep it. |

All the missing parts require just a few days of bolting stuff on. Fixing a rusty shell is $1000s in parts and 100s of hours. Someone could save themself a lot of heartache by starting with this. I'd be on it if it was closer to me and I did not have 2 more projects in line. John |
