Nice to see our cars getting this kind of recognition at the most recent Parade in Spokane.
Has anyone seen this car? Looks like Adriatic Blue. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/det....php?id=2082391 |

"The 15 produced in 1971 were originally intended to become racecars but most were eventually sold as GT look-a-likes for the street."
He says it right there... the M471 cars were GT look-a-likes. NOT full GTs. M471s are very special cars. But with 33 real factory GTs and many more dealer GTs that were built with full race parts from the factory, I stand by my stricter definition of a GT tribute. Obviously with parts scarce, there will be a spectrum of completeness. But a parade winner should be a pinacle of achievement, not just someone that slapped on flares and a pretty paint job with a later engine with single plug, MSD and red plug wires! If the rest of the car was correct 914-6 parts, then he firmly in M471 tribute territory, but he didn't even bother to get a factory 914-6 oil filler neck, or even a new GT repro from SMC. |
