Who's 914-6 is this ?, WOW just WOW Options

[Dasnowman]

IS IT A REAL 914-6? I thought real 6's have a pull lever system for the headlights to save a couple of pounds and as you can see this one has motors or was that for later years?

Yes it looks like the car was setup for track then reverted back to more of a street car?

Either way I think it's a nice car for my taste not a pure track car or original spec'd 6

No offense Rob but all your bloviating about a "911 "story" makes little sense to me as it relates to this car/price/location/build/etc/etc. I won't go into details...

We could talk about this until the cows come home - lets just put a "timer" on this sales effort as of today and verify the sale price (when not if, of course). I am wrong all the time and happily ready to step up and admit it when I'm in fact incorrect. I am simply just stating my observations and opinions and am certainly not a professional in the auto trade (like some of you may be).

However, real world (sales) figures expose the truth much more than hot air (from all of us, of course). I'll look forward to the results. One thing is for sure...someone appears to be getting a spectacular ride. The price of entry is the only item I'm debating. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

If it's a Porsche it relates 911 or not. 914-6 prices were headed north of $30K when the US economy collapsed. That was a few years ago now. I'm not in the auto trade either, far from it. But I have bought and sold a lot of Porsche cars and done well with it. TC is much closer to the auto trade and has sold a few 914-6 cars. Don't take my word for it, and if he says your wrong...

Ah - no.

GT's did.

Regular ol' street /6's used exactly the same headlight arrangement the /4's do.
For completeness, the electrics (headlight, not raise/lower bits) were wired like 911's rather than 914-4.

The pics with the yellow bumper has a cage inside and the current pics don't. Was it removed? Does anybody remember if it was a bolt in? Just curious.

I don't think that is 555.

The last time i saw 555 (after Dan died and the car was sold) it was being restored back to factory specs by the new owner.

Apparantly I have been quite wrong in this thread so far but believe I'm correct here. It appears the pics of 555 and the "subject" car are one in the same. Check out the Dzus fasteners on the front bumper and airdam on both cars. Either the same or one was copying the other in very precise details.

One thing no one has considered while judging this guy's car is what condition the car was in when all the mod's began....
If it was pristine, then that is maybe something to debate, but if it was a rust bucket, then maybe that's a different story.

I surely don't know this man's case, but I do know mine..

I found my -6 back in 1998, slowly returning back to the earth behind a used car lot.
Every pan in it, both frame rails and the shift tunnel were basically gone. Every corner of the car was hacked to install fiberglass flares. And, to add further insult, My Previous owner must've blown the 6, and had had the car converted to a 4cyl & 4cyl. transmission.

My COA from Porsche stated my engine# was 6400373. Yeah, that's right. It's a Euro engine serial #. And I'm still waiting 15 years into ownership to see someone offer it up for sale for me to reunite it with my car. For the purists out there, I'm still holding my breath on that one if you can believe that.

In the meantime, without access to the original engine or the transmission, I redid my car the way that appealed to me..... I wasn't going to wait my lifetime just for originality. I wanted to drive it.
So for me, it was a 993 3.6L, 915, Steel Flares, 10''Wide rims, and all the goodies I could add over the last decade.. I'm still going with the updates. Hotrodding it made it so much faster, and fun to drive.

If and when I ever decide to sell it, it won't be at a fire sale at my expense. I'll either get what I want for it or I'll give it to my grand daughter whose sitting on it in my avatar..
For the purist, any one that avidly collects cars knows that ALL cars are only original ONCE, and that is the day that it's driven off the new dealers lot.

Lastly, If I recall correctly, and I could be wrong, but I thought that I saw this car in Excellence back in the late 90's. I think it was owned at the time by a man named Gagnon. Beautiful car either way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I think its the calcott car.
I'm absolutely ok with customization any way an owner wants
but I do believe (like happened with the 356) that we have reached a point where a stock real -6 will not be worth more money than one that is customized... Rust repaired or not.

That is not the former car of Bob Gagnon...

Very tricked out orig 914-6 Hot Rod.

I agree it would show better with Fuchs and a bit more factory GT influence. A bit too "track" style for me. I would like to see it with stock mirrors, black lowers, chrome or black bumpers, black top, and Fuchs...Keep all the race stuff, just down play it a touch.

[AZ914]

Sure I would have done a few things differently but I would be happy to have it in my garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
