Today I saw a 1970 914-6 for sale by the original owner. This car has a lot of potential. If you want to contact the owner: Harold Nabhon: office 978 465-2000, home 978 462-3398 and cell 978 807-9913.

The Talbot racing mirrows were installed by the selling dealer back in 1970. My first concern with a car in New England (Massachusetts and Penn) all its life, was the ugly R word - rust. The hell holes were in fine shape. A little superficial rust on the original battery tray, but nothing on the frame.

The real problem with the car was a horrible tune up. The owner had a local Porsche dealer in New Hampshire attempt to rebuild and tune the carbs, they didn't even come close. Can't say much too good about the tail shifter either. But this is a very original and unmolested car.

The car was originally silver, was painted yellow at some point and then repainted silver again. The floor pans, jacking posts, jacking donuts, etc. seemed very solid. I will show the rust on the body in the following pictures.

This is the only really bad spot on the body. Owner is in his late 60's and not mechanically gifted. He had the original tool kit (you can see it in a later picture inside a plastic bag on the passenger seat) and it had never been opened.

Close up on rusted spot. It looks and feels like a very poor quality patch was done here at some point.

Both trunks were solid and no rust was observed in either trunk except for superficial rust under the headlights. I saw no evidence of crash damage in either trunk.

The interior was in very good shape. The original tool kit (never used and complete) is on the passenger seat.

There was some superficial rust under the door sills. But this car has been garaged and well cared for. The owner is an attorney who also owned several 356s and other sports cars. Another interior view.

He is asking $14,900. You guys know I have my hands full with the 74 2.0 restoration. I would like to see this car go to a club member. The motor and transmission will definitely need work to make it a daily driver. But the car is solid and a good candidate for restoration. The owner is hard to reach, but I can assist with further inspections and details for serious buyers only.

$8k

That fender's going to require major metal work and I doubt that's the end of it in this car.

Excellent original base. Reminds me of my car when I found it. 70 year old owner. Bought it new. Steel wheels. Footrest. Goofy stereo. Not molested (with the exception of those Michigan Mirrors) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Gotta throw one in there for my SMOG 6 friends (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) (sorry)

$14.9k? I'd say he is way overpriced with the condition it's in. I will also say $8k.
