If you are looking for a race car this is great, if you want to make it a street car proceed with caution. It is illegal in my state to own a car with an altered VIN.

The VIN stamp was cut out and replaced with a piece of steel There is a 914/4 center vent on the dash and the Karman stamp is pretty far out of range. You can rivet the aluminum tags into a new chassis. |

It does look like a VIN swap to me too.

It appears that the front clip was replaced with a factory replacement. The replacement panels didn't have the front holes punched out.
That might explain the lack of a VIN on the fender ... The rest of the chassis appears to be a real /6. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

My point is, it looks as if the car had some major surgery and at least parts of the front replaced. The rear looks to be from an original /6.
It was not uncommon to splice two cars together after an accident back in the day. My guess would be that this car was turned into a race car after it was crashed and at least some parts of an early /4 front clip were crafted on. In which case they would have cut out the /4 VIN ...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I agree, a clip was probably performed but the VIN cut is a major no-no in IL (and probably most states) that is why it is not sitting my garage right now. |

about 15 yrs ago i looked at a "six" with a correct VIN in the Sac'to area - it had been in a flood - but my second inspection trip (with cash in hand) revealed it had later "4" dash vents, etc - and pulling up the carpets revealed that the front half of the car was a "4" sectioned onto the sixer back half
- it is not a "straight across cut", so you might not notice unless you really know these chassis' - a bodyman friend who'd worked at Gus Mozart Porsche confirmed that this was commonly done in the Bay Area "back in the day" - it's the same process routinely used to shorten a VW pan for a Manx body back-when I passed on it, even tho i only was looking for a racer shell (i've seen sketchier "original-6-GT" cars at some high-end vintage venues - some even still wear their "4" fender ID - obviously htis is not a concern in some circles) I have also seen a similar real six "tub" in Sac'to area that had the RF fender/quarter replaced - that "could" explain no-VIN or "erased VIN" in the fender liner I don't know where either of those shells went if all ya want is a race car - then it's worth considering if cheap enuf but if ya want a 100-point resto, 100K resale value - take your chances & buy a set of steel stamps and a good MIG . |
