Saw this new listing on Ebay. Concourse Winner. Rust Free. (I wish those door hinge bolts were painted, they are bugging me!)

nice car, I hope he gets the money.
To many things to pick at to refute his claims.

Guy needs to learn all about paragraphs...

No records for over a decade or more and 34k documented miles makes me smile.

The original motor is gone, therefore it would never pass muster at any car show ever again.

If you are interested in buying it, call Brad who restored it, he will be honest and tell you what he knows.

Looks like a really nice car but in my opinion Carbs, badges, stereo, gauges and a lot of other little s things in the photos it should have racked up a lot of negative points twords a concourse win

Mark Heard will know this car. That is the city he lives in. Maybe his car? Doubt it though. His screen name here is 914sixer.

That is one nice car though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

PCA concours is all about preparation and lacks focus on originality these days. At least at the regional level. Parade might be different...

True Concour cars stand on their own merit, and these pictures speak for themselves. . where is the shot of the bottom of the car ?

As for the car and collectible status. . wrong engine. . an major mistake. From the pictures, I see definite lack of attention to detail, and that is what Concour Competition is all about. .

And he spelled Concours wrong to boot. . It's not 'Concourse", or maybe they do it differently in the Big T. .

With the 's' but no 'e', and the "s" is silent. . .

Wow, if that's one of the best in the world then I have vastly underestimated my own 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I'll gladly park mine side by side with that one and let you guys decide (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

I know nothing about concourse cars, nor do I ever plan to own one. But the first thing I saw was the carbs, which would immediately put it out of the running, I would think. Not to mention all the other things people have mentioned. I too wish people would stop trying to make their cars something that they are not. That being said, it looks like a nice driver.

Super nice car and will probably bring a good price. The rusty window and hinge bolts throw me off.
In pics 17&18 it looks like paint lines from shines to dull paint. A respray possibly?

History/Originality....

The lighter bezel is the replacement.
