Plan on having it done in 6-7 months. Shouldn't need to spend too much time collecting parts since it's supposed to come with everything. I will need a set of heat exchangers. Does anybody make a reasonably priced aftermarket set?

Proto31, I looked at that #31 4 years ago. He was at that time welding in new hell whole from passengers feet all the way back on both sides. The motor with the blue stuff was the give away and of course #31. He also was chopping up 6ers and selling the 6 ID’s and any metal 6 Id parts with Titles, that’s what turned me off of him. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) I didn't know if #31 was real? He said he had enough parts to build 3 cars at that time,. Was the car in the back warehouse where he worked. I think he was a project manager for a building company. the car was completely disassembled and in rough condition and i didn't care for his (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) ability’s. He seamed like a very nice guy, but he (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) up teeners to put on ebay. thats where I first saw this 6er. He had some nice teeners but said they were worth more for there parts than he could get for them as cars. That Bastard (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) Also what he wanted for a shell and a bunch of parts, was what I though it would be worth finished. Sorry but you asked.
I wish you all the luck with your #31 project. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) Do all the photos and set up your Blog so we can admire your progress.

Thanks for the info. Are you sure you were looking at the same car though. He told me that the rear hell hole was perfect. The pictures of it stripped down to the metal do not show any signs of welding in that area. He did wowever weld in a new outer clamshell on the drivers side longitudinal. How did the motor look to you?
Thanks, Dan |

Same car, I remember the new outer clamshell on the drivers side longitudinal. I though for sure he had the hell hole opened up, so many teeners ago, but I can't remember how the motor looked, I do remember the blue dye in the motor, it looked like a motor, I was not knowledgable on 6 motors at that time. and he had 2 more that came with the car. What all did you get with the car? When you get it you'll know more about what was done and not.
Got any pics? What was his first name? |

Does anyone know the history of this car? I would think that a prototype ending up in the hands of an individual, the story is significant. Also, what is the full VIN on this car? That will help for those of us playing along at home. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

The correct vin # is 9140430031. I should be getting that fresh motor, all interior and all the 6 specific parts including a new factory oil tank and all the sheet metal.
This is a picture of the car stripped down a few years ago, the front fenders have been replaced since then. Attached image(s)

Yep thats the place and thats her (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif)
Did you come to Indy to see the car? Did he still have the 914 that a tree fell on? it was a 6 he had cut all the 914-6 ID plates off to sell on ebay or somewhere. |

nope, all based on pics shown to me. A little risky but there wasn't much to hide after the car has stripped of all it's paint.

Interesting serial number. According to my current knowledge I don't think this is a prototype. Production sixers started at 9140430011. That would make yours the 20th production six. I've always understood that the first 50 or so were distributed around Europe. Someone with some serious knowledge on early sixes should look at this very closely. Check every possible number stamped in the chassis and cross check with DaveP's list. Learn as much as you can on six history and get as much history from the guy you bought it from. Good luck. I'll be looking at the pictures from time to time.

Don, thanks for the advice. Do you know where I should start, as far as looking into the history of the early 6's. I've spent a bunch of time on the web, but I haven't been able to find much. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) that VIN is *not* a prototype ... now, if you had the car with the internal project number #31, that would be a real find! Internal Code: 914/31 VIN: 914 043 0019 Color: Irish Green Usage: 914 R Prototype, Test Car Project Start Date: 10/3/1969 Sold Date: 5/21/1971 Customer: Graf Goertz (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Andy |

Wow! This is interesting info. Our resident experts tell us that according to the VIN this car is not a prototype, just an early production 6. It prompts me to ask a question that I really have no business asking, "Was the car sold as a Prototpye?" Just curious. |
