Michael,

You might have to arm-wrestle me for this one - tooo sweeet! Aye!

My sources indicate the M471 was a body & wheel package for the 6's only. I have plans to someday build one identical to the orange & black one in the bottom pic. Its only a matter of money - right!

Enjoy!

It's a good day for me. Volumes 2-11 Up-fixin used from eBay arrived (just as greasy as the old set I gave away with my old car!). Paternie's "Modify" book, Long's "Definitive History" book AND Johnson's "Authenticity" book came. I'm gearing up!

Anyway: Johnson's says M471:
Steel flares all 4 fenders
Flared steel front valence.
Flared fiberglass rockers.
No rear valence
6x15 Fuchs with spacers and longer lugs.

Nope... not all sixes were left hand ignitions. The 72 /6 (none imported to USA) used the 4 cylinder column and wiring harness. They also have a short adapter harness to hook up the six relay board.

Yes, I am a addict! There has to be an end to the $$$ coming out of the pocket. I used to tell Kathy that the 914 habit was cheaper that spending nights out at the bar but I am beginning to think the bar might be cheaper.

Nope, 914s are more expensive. Because now you have a whole crowd of drinking buddies who also own 914s. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

I never said someone didn't bring one here, but officially, none were ever imported by Porsche.

I certainly hope it gets the proper interior to go along with the extreme rarity of this machine. And maybe an appropriate consideration due the rest of the body and paint. How could someone have felt they were improving upon this piece of rolling art, by pimping it to the extreme and ruining all the genuine authenticity. Give me an interior in degrees of well worn patina to a completely trashed , but ORIGINAL stock appearing car, rather than some mosaic of mis-matched and Amuricanized extremism. I'm glad its a saved car.....please undo it and fix it right.
