Can anyone tell from the photo if this is the correct rear valance for a 914-6? I am referencing the Restorer's Guide to Authenticity, but the angles in the photos make it a little hard to tell. The text says

The four-cylinder car had this hole (tail pipe) several inches inboard of the 914-6 opening.


Given the condition of this valance, maybe we'll go for the M471 look (i.e. no valance). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That is a 6 valance. Hard to find. As for the rear bumper, they changed from the hard edge to the smooth transition mid-year ‘71. My 6 is a late ‘71 and came with the smooth, later rear bumper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

thats right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

a bit like back in the 80s when all insisted that every 6 had an ignition key in the dash.

you got to love the way the road is paved with banana skins when it comes to this stuff.
