It showed Reserve Not Met at that point. That was last I checked, also.

Some of those Copart sellers are nuts, thinking clean title estimated value is a reasonable ask despite the usual salvage title / damage / neglect.

It looks like it’s an original Metallic Red (81) car which is pretty rare. Only 8 1970-1972 Metallic Red 914-6s are listed in the database. The notes on 914world member’s vin info says it could be Bahia Red but that wasn’t available until 71 so I doubt that. Did they have custom colors or paint to sample in 1970? If so, that’s a possibility.

Wow that car is roached and crusty

That car is (still) at the legendary 'Porche Foreign Auto' in L.A. On their website for $35k, strange they tried to use Copart to sell it since they usually post on the Samba classifieds. Its probably been in storage there for 30+ years. Shelf-worn patina.

Looks like a /6 someone may buy for $30K, spend $100K and many years restoring then ultimately sell for $80K. Its upside down from day one.

Presuming they were to get the 35k, engine/trans/carbs adds a quick 30+ to the mix? I don't think 100 gets the job done. WAAAY short. Then you have to find just the right person when it's time to sell. Scary.
