well, you could just call them, their # is on the porsche website

dude, they're german ... nobody is going to tell me squat unless i know someone who knows someone ... calling their 800 number is like talking to my cat, all you get is a blank stare. and that's not a whole lot, considering i'm going to be on the phone with them ...

They probably just pulled the stamping dies out and made new ones for this project.

Still, it would be great if someone who had their car restored by Porsche would give us an idea what it cost. I would think a car restored at the factory would hold it's value better than one restored in somebody's garage. That's not a comment on anyone's work caliber, just public perception of the value the factory provenance adds.

If I sent my 70/4 over with enough euros and asked Porsche Classic to make it a /6,
1) would they do it, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) and
2) would I then have a ''factory" /6 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

As far as I'm concerned it would be a factory six, but that's not a restoration, it's a "restomod". Not sure if they do those & just do restorations.

Yes. Just like they build that /6 on a '75 chassis for a customer. It's still a factory /6 as far as i'm concerned.

I mean, most of the 916s were build using /4 chassis and you don't hear people complaining about that either ...

If Andy has enough Euros, he can have the Factory install a flat eight cylinder and have the third one.
Then no one could catch him on the freeway.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Maybe Karl should go this route as he has all the parts needed to assemble a GT sitting in his garage....then it would be a Factory GT.

When I was at the Factory in 2009 the silver 6 was in the "shop" being worked on. I asked and got the "blank stare" Andy talked about when I asked if I could look at it and the shop.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)
