 It looked like a very nice but 'ordinary' 914/6 until you read the card and looked close.  I tried to get pictures of the drain holes under the wiper pivots but just got blurs. Love the picture with the kids climbing on it.     |

I saw that car at the G&R swapmeet in Riverside last year. Crazy the bit about the spot welds, though there's probably not even 1 per inch on my 914.
Here's an old thread that shows it some during its restoration. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=97925 |

It's definitely a different car. The top of the wheel well has an odd shape, a flat spot on top on the red one, and an odd location for the plate.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-24-1320233210.jpg) The orange one the wheel wells look normal. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-5084-1248713070.jpg) Here's another s-m 2383 plate, this one could be that car? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-10181-1274390716.jpg) and another from that shoot (can't find a proper jpg to put as an image) http://www.early911sregistry.org/forums/at...mp;d=1276693283 |
