Nice one, even has the de acceleration vacuum hooked up.

Missing a screw on the Headlight surround, and shouldn't have a headliner...



Mine is #2604 and has a headliner, so are you saying the early ones should not have a headliner? This one is #300.



The early cars did not have the headliner...

Jack is missing the little rubber tie strap.

I was also wondering if the under body should be black from the factory?

I think they were body colored and dealers sprayed the black tar when delivered? Usually done very sloppy.

Great photo documentation on this car !

'6' only interior lamp ?

It's a Hella dome light and looks to be in great condition, just like the rest of the car.

I was referring to the text that states the interior lamp is a 914 6 only item.
It is the correct lamp for all 914s

While I have nothing better to do here goes;
Heater hoses from valves to body should be orange
Heater valves should be grey
Area around rubber snubbers for engine lid should be painted black
Odd looking tether for footrest
Repro owners manual
Not too sure about those 10,000 volt screwdrivers, repros ?
Ground strap at battery too long
Rubber O ring on top of jack ? the piece of Perlon under the tip of the jack arm is
a nice original detail

I humbly suggest that the 'nit pickers' input will enable all of us to know more
about our cars and raise the level of restoration to improve the breed.

Ditto - looks really nice.

I find it educational to hear what others can find wrong with really nice restorations. Even though my car is pretty "correct" at first glance, I've built a list of 40+ small things that are just not right/perfect but I honestly have no interesting in correcting because I'd rather just drive it at this point (e.g. I used zinc plated washers in some places rather than yellow cad; kill me now).

I'm also happy to see another stock restoration take the liberty to remove the side warts as I did too. I can't stand those.

Having said that, other small things that haven't been mentioned yet that aren't "correct" (I think):

- the brake line retaining clips should be black, not yellow cad

- later upgraded chain tensioners (but a really good idea and also on my car)

- not accurate reproduction stickers on the engine lid. The repros have the black outline border with rounded corners (correct), but the repro stickers themselves are square, but should also have rounded corners. But, he had very high attention to detail and tried to snip/cut rounded corners on the stickers, but they are clearly not perfectly round corners like the factory stickers. Might as well burn this POS to the ground! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

- Also I think the factory engine lid stickers were not applied with that much of a gap between the stickers.

- ride height is too low for a factory/stock restoration (IMO)

- undercoating looks nice and is well done, but I don't think is "correct" anywhere on the car. bottom should be grey. Wheel wells look like there is thick undercoating that was then painted. Should just be body color painted metal (I think).

I love it and looks like an awesome car! Ivory looks great on 914s. But given my other projects, I'd have to be a buyer at $12,500... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yes, I was wondering what was meant by that. I'm guessing:

1. Whoever wrote that thinks the black switch, no chrome dome lights are standard for the 4 cylinders

or more sinister ...

2. This is a subtle dig at the two 914-6's currently offered by Scottsdale Sport (for even more $$$), both of which appear to have after market dome lights.

I agree....these are minor items that could easily be fixed.....but, IMO the car is priced right. In todays market you couldn't build a car like this for $125K....unless you did the work yourself.

I agree! It looks all new and I love the seats.

Fabulous car. Love light Ivory.

They were optional, not standard.

Hmmmm, I was not aware (at this point in my life) that sway bars were even available as an option on Sixes. I don't believe either of my first 2 Sixes came with sway bars and my '71 certainly did not. All 3 of them had them after I owned them, or in the case of my '71, will have them.

I agree, unless there's a gross mod, most of us just are just keeping everyone
honest and making a record of what should be. It's still a great car.

It's true early cars don't have a headliner. I don't know the cutoff, but my #242
doesn't have one.

I have always seen the vacuum lines on the left carb, not the right.

Before '73 none of the 914's came with sway bars AFAIK.

Also, this car has a center console (pocket, not gauges). I only found out this
year that it was introduced mid-year. My #242 does not have it. Perhaps the
cutoff was near #300, or maybe they sourced one from a later car.

I did not know this !

My #131 six has the console, but it could have been added at some time in life...

Mine also has a Weiltmister front sway bar I am sure added when it was a dedicated race car back in the day...

I like this thread lots of valuable sixer info !
