A few things:
- Obviously, it's *not* a 916 as stated in the Ad. - The car was never raced by Porsche. It was only used for testing. - It is also *not* build in 1969, the build date should be 03/70 or 04/70. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

- Obviously, it's *not* a 916 as stated in the Ad. just a typo - The car was never raced by Porsche. It was only used for testing. but it was raced by the 2nd owner (mostly hillclimb events) and the 3rd owner (mostly historic race events) - It is also *not* build in 1969, the build date should be 03/70 or 04/70. first registered (S - U 4732) on March 20, 1970 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

- Obviously, it's *not* a 916 as stated in the Ad. just a typo And a really bad one at that - The car was never raced by Porsche. It was only used for testing. but it was raced by the 2nd owner (mostly hillclimb events) and the 3rd owner (mostly historic race events) Hence why i said "The car was never raced by Porsche". It is important to make the distinction between a car raced by the factory and a car raced by private owners. - It is also *not* build in 1969, the build date should be 03/70 or 04/70. first registered (S - U 4732) on March 20, 1970 The first car i know that has a confirmed build date of 01/70 is 914.043.0137. That is 846 cars before 914.043.0983. There is no way 0983 was build in 1969. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
