Does anyone but me feel like there are more original 6's than is expected. Rust and crashes must have taken out quite a few over the years. I have no proof, just a feeling...

Someone recently posted somewhere on a 356 aluminum Gmund coupe that just won a prize a Pebble Beach, & it's owned by Peter Porsche. The whole car is new, but it qualifies as a restoration because they transferred the VIN & chassis numbers, as well as the matching numbers engine. So if as stated before you have a trashed six with all it's original stuff & you move it all over to a 4 chassis, numbers & all, it's a legitimate six. Not original, but restored & legitimate.

Not original. Original only happens one time. Those conversions are still a dressed up 4. Pete from RD said they may have enough panels for a "body in white" in a few years. So if you stick a couple of plates on one is it a real /6? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
