I came to my parents shop today and my dad is doing an inspection for a customer of his. I guess this guy is ready to sell his 914-6. Heres what I've been told about the car.
1970
original owner
original paint
60,000 miles
the customer seems to think its the first 914-6 in the US.
I would like to own it, but its way to nice for me.

WHY I'M NOT ON THE CLASSIFIED PAGE
I'm not selling this car, my dad is helping the customer with the sale. I just thought someone out in the "World" would like a shot at this car. PM me if you want my dads info.

Guessing seller is looking at six figures, right?

Is that WATER on the roof???? It's RUINED NOW!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Kidding. Thanks for sharing. So few of those low mileage, original owner, original paint cars left. Investment grade for sure. Unfortunately too nice to drive much.

I have no idea on the price. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The owner could have it listed already on another board. I just felt like someone here would want it.

What's the VIN? That would tell if it is indeed the 1st.

#2 here & #2 off the line (non-prototype - IIRC it's #11 including them) is and Orange 914-6 owned by a guy here in SoCal.

Thanx for sharing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Of course it would need a PPI, but that might be worth getting a loan for. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Is it odd for a -6 to not have fog lights?

found the vin # 9140430172

My dad just spoke with the owner and it sounds like he has a couple of PCA members that are interested.
The owner also said its not sold yet. If someone on the world wants it, he's all ears.

If it is truly the FIRST 914-6 in the US, then I would also contact AA (Automobile Atlanta).

They have a collection that would benefit from having that.

So the people with probably the #1 nicest 914 collection in the world is not worthy of having the first US 914-6?

Hmmm.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I just found this after searching that VIN in the database.

So the oldest 914 (dealer imported?) in the US has been selected by PCNA. It's a 1970 914/6 #0172 and located in Florida. I guess they didn't research our data base.
Someone should at least add it for the record. At least it's alive and looks good. Any one know the car/owner?

Look here;

Sorry to wake an old thread. That car is my dad's. Bought it new back in 1970. Still loves it and drives it!

The son is a 914world member and a 914 owner if I understand his posts right.
So this gentleman wants to sell that original car, which he bought 1970 ??? I cannot believe this. If this is really the case, something must be wrong there in the family (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Shane and his dad Keith are good folks. Keith did the work on my car and knows his stuff. He has worked on this car too and could give you the PPI. One of the best mechanics I have met - I've learned a lot in the short time I've known him. And Shane might call himself goofy, but I'm glad to call him a friend.

Sure Id love to own it, but n all fairness to the owner, he should probably take it to auction. There will be plenty of interest on the car. If its half the car it looks I'd throw $35k at it, but I'm sure others would pay more, just what I can afford. He has picked a good time to sell.
