Not a '70 as advertised, unless they added the 2.0 badge for some strange reason. The whole thing looks a bit of a mess to me. Worst paint job ever. Love how they painted the wiper arms. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

It’s got a 1972 911 S motor with mfi! That motor is worth 20k

No dash vent, and tits. Left side ignition though. Looks like an old build of a neglected /6 at best, or something else at worse. Need a VIN.

Has some bones, but the price of entry is a bit high for what it needs.

If it's a real 6 they seem to have gone out of their way to make it look like a 4, or a water cooled conversion from the underside. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Front trunk looks like a later model, and jack is in the wrong spot for a 70 if memory serves me correctly.

Nice patina. Esp the door. Something weird with the lower dash bolster too.

Looks like a real six was a donor car and the parts built into a later chassis. Engine mount, ignition key is correct but the trunk, interior floor and front trunk are all late model. Probably why its not advertised for $139K. - Tony |

Unless they removed it it's missing the hand throttle and looks like it was never there.
Highly suspect of vin swap with all the factors adding up. Fuel mount mount and front trunk ....ect |

Why would you put Tits on a 6?

Agreed on that.
I guess the question is if you can de-mess it and would that be worthwhile? If it’s been reshelled my guess it is becomes just another 6 conversation.... curious what you all think if it was “just” a replacement front clip as far as impact to value. |

Agreed, it's a poor VIN swap...AKA fake -6. They used a 73-74 chassis, from the underside on the firewall you can see it was an original side shift car. The jack location is a dead give away as well as the front trunk shelf.
If you look real close, you can see where they welded in the new VIN in those pics. But they kept the 7300 RPM redline 911 "S" tach to go with the engine. I can't believe they didn't even spring for the 914-6 badges. Nice pile of parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) |
