There is a lot wrong with this car: adjustable passenger seat with '75-'76 large basket weave. Dash knobs incorrect. Drivers seat back cushion large basket weave, bottom cushion small basket weave. COA say originally Tangerine, I don't see Tangerine anywhere on this car, paint code plate is either painted over or missing. Door panels large basket weave. Throttle handle red. That's enough, someone else chime in. |

This car definitely has a later front clip at the minimum. I do not see what everyone is talking about re the front fender VIN being seamed in. It looks to me like the VIN was taped over and then the trunk sprayed and the tape pulled. I do not see evidence of that VIN being welded in. Also the rest of the observations are accurate, adjustable passenger seat (pretty common upgrade on early cars with the fixed seat). Door panels replaced, jack mount missing, etc. I am not sure about it being a chassis swap as I do not know about the rear trunk number sequences and my car is in VA so I can't remember where that number belongs.... But this car at the minimum needs a complete and thorough inspection by a 914-6 expert to determine what it is or isn't. Just having a COA does not make it a real Six.

Agree with you on the front vin, but if it got a front clip then it got a back clip as well since the chassis serial number is for a 4 cyl, both in sequence and location, and the jack mounts are for '73 and on. So then I guess the question would be does the passenger compartment floor show signs of having the adjustable passenger seat retro-fitted or did the car maybe get a center clip at some time? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) So at the very least we have a car which during it's life needed a new front clip at some point a new rear clip at some point and a new pan at some point, but managed to hang on to it's original engine.
