what would have prevented someone to use the factory m471 package to upgrade a 4-cyl. car?

good question, but that comes back to - where were the M471 flares and faired valences installed and painted? at Zuffenhausen, where the rest of the 914.6's were assembled? or at Karmann in Ingolstadt?

was the 914.6 M471 package (which included 7 & 8" Fuchs and spacers...) available for 914/4?

i'd guess any 914/4 would be a rare sight in Zuffenhausen, but of course any dealer would have been able to order up a set of flares as parts...

anybody know for sure?

originally the M471 package only was available in 1971 and '72 for the 914-6
btw - it included 185/70 15 tires on 6x15 rims with spacers

but I also know a couple of 914-4 with steel flares, wider 4 lug rims and the front spoiler which make them look like M471
in my opinion they're nothing special, but if the owner likes it - why not ?

Did anyone run that VIN? It does appear to have its ignition key on the dash to the left of the column. I could be wrong but it kind of looks like it in one picture. That is a 6 thing though right? Not really a GT thing...

That's not an ignition switch. It a switch (like a fog light switch), without the shaft installed.

Where was that thing restored? Mexico City? Johnman and I once saw a 911 in the infield at Mid Ohio that had been painted with latex and a brush by a child and it looked better.

Are there no rules about this kind of BS?

there are! thanks for asking. here they are:

1) it's your car, do what you want.
2) do your homework, and know what you're looking at.
3) if you don't like it, don't buy it.

That is to see if they tied the cage to anything lower down or just weded it to the sheet metal.

I emailed the seller telloing him that they were not original flares, here is the response I got:

Dear mn914,

this is a dealer installed fiberglass original with purchase fenders. This was told to us by the past original owner of the car. Also, S. Miller, expert and world renowed on porsches who has written many many books on porsche has stated the same. The aftermarket or after purchase of car fenders that are flared are metal. THESE ARE ORIGIANL FIBER GLASS. This is all I know about the car along with they are far and few in between.

where's that "clueless" smilie ?

"S. Miller" - that'd be Susann Miller, i suppose. got a few Porsche books to her credit, mostly as editor. recognised expert on *early* (356-era) marketing materials.

i wonder if she knows she's being used as a reference to authenticate glass flares as original ...

i bet i can track her down through the 356 list - this could get really interesting...

Ok...... so either the PO lied his ass off to this guy..... and he was dumb enough to believe it..

Or...... he's full of shit, and making this up.

Either way.... I'd say a significant pimp-slap is definately in order (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Susann Miller lives in South West Florida (Naples) I think. Which is where the car is.

I don't think she knows about this car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

OK - here's the latest update from this guy:

My response to his earlier email:
1st – Fiberglass flares were NEVER a dealer option. Sttel flares were installed by Porsche for the factory GT cars, or customers could purchase, through the dealer, steel flares as part of the M471 option/package.

2nd – ALL GT cars were 6 cylinder cars

Please provide a certificate of authenticity if this is truly a factory GT, as it is worth over $100,000.

His Response:
I was told just the oppostie about the fenders by a leading author of porsche books. This is all I know.
