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. |

Ebay-auction ended ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
But the car -I'm sure it is- still available here: http://dmcclassiccars.com/cars/porsche-9146/ |

I sent the seller a message early yesterday morning explaining that he/they should check out the providence of the car. I explained briefly why I thought the car was not a real 6. I received a terse response telling me to f off. I replied with a link to this thread. I’m not surprised he pulled it off eBay. It is possible the seller did not know the car wasn’t a real 6. Of course, that doesn’t explain why the car is for sale elsewhere as a real 6. I suspect they are limiting their exposure. Maybe they think if they sell it locally and the next owner doesn’t know it’s history, their problem is solved.
Here is the given reason for removing the ad from eBay. Attached image(s) |

I also sent an inquiry asking if he had a response to the "experts" consensus that it was not an original 6 with a link to this thread before going to bed this am. (working nights) When I checked the ad when I got up this afternoon it had been pulled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I didn't get a personal thank you for pointing out this potential discrepancy though, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) So I am feeling little left out.
