You guys know every detail, too many for me to remember

Ha - I'm surprised this thread got so much attention.

For the record, I think this car looks great and $105k is probably about right based on other sales I've seen. That texture is not as easy of fix as many of the other small things though.

Interesting that he came down $20k in less than 2 weeks, still a nice car.

While I'm thinking about it, when did the canister on the fuel tank start? Mine is a March '70 date, less than 400 earlier than this one and it never had a canister.
Was this a west coast/California-only requirement early on?

The letter spacing on the engine lid really bugs me. Seems like they just didn't care. Probably a non Porsche fluent shop did the work. $100k+? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clown2.gif)

+1, same with the front hood badge (not even an early orange one). I understand back in the day the front hood badge was added to a lot of these cars, but a full resto with repaint why re-install. Still very nice car and I think he will get close to his asking price IMO.

This guy has great taste in cars if you ask me. Love the colors and models he chooses.

Looks good to me……… the thing about these cars is. I spent years getting an early 6 running that hadn't been driven in a decade. I'm embarrassed to say what I spent on the mechanicals; parts add up fast.And I have to pay for labor too. I'm not as talented as the rest of you guys with my tools. Even if you have a shop I think you'll be hard press to restore a 914-6 for less then 50K in parts labor and overhead:To do a first rate job. If you honestly add up your expenses. Add the price of the car. I don't know how anyone can do it professionally today without charging that much. My dad bought soda for a nickel , wish I could too. P.S. I hate the hood badge.

I have two cars, both '70
West coast delivery car has canister and plastic plumbing.
East coast car no canister or plumbing.
Certainly not the last word on the subject but does seem plausible.
