Does anyone know this car?
Is it really a $30K six? With the paint and chrome issues, $30K seems pretty high. Also, I would be worried about the race history. I have seen several cars that were raced aggressively develop stress cracks and such. I am looking for a nice original six, but not sure if this is worth the money. Plus, all the nice sixes are on the West coast, so it adds about $3,000 to the purchase price for me in Alabama. Have you checked out the Tangerine 914-6 on the European Collectibles website. It is priced at $29,950 but it includes a 2.2 installed as well as the original engine. http://www.europeancollectables.com/invent...e_inv_id=Po1747 Rich |

It's always kinda surprised me how little factory 914-6 prices have taken off.
Seems like 15 years ago, they were mid to upper teen prices, and in all that time, they've gone to maybe mid 20's (although it seems like many decent 6s can still be had in the teens), while other low-ish production sports cars have shot through the root (early 911s, etc.). It seems like percentage-wise, even stock 73/74 2.0 914s have gone up more than 6s in the past 15 years. |

Yep I am Watching.
Do you see the creamsicle in the background (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Pretty sure i've met the guy a number of times and Bowlsby should know him. If it's the guy i'm thinking of his plate on the creamsicle is YIPPIE Ferg FWIW I'd be surprised if it doesn't bring about 30k... |

Looks like the auction for this Six ends soon, but it hasn't met reserve yet.
Has anyone done a PPI on this car or know anything about it? The car looks pretty nice in the photo's, but they don't always tell the entire story. |

I've been watching this one as well as the "immaculate 4". Neither one is meeting the reserve. I feel both cars are very likely worth it, but I think our sellers should have waited until after "April 15th" to list them. Timing is everything, which is why you sell toys/models/games etc... in November. Right after taxes the weather gets better nationwide & hopefuly you got a refund... time to sell motorcycles & convertibles. Right after Christmas the weather nationwide is usually pretty cold... time to buy convertibles & motorcycles. I believe our sellers should have waited a month... they might have got more than they thought they could get. For those that are curious, my Father was an economist, which explains my analytical interest in this aspect of 914s'. My $.02.

The car looks pretty nice in the photo's, but they don't always tell the entire story. Ouray is a 4 to 6 hour trip from Denver (and in the moutains). At this time of year you'd better just take a 4WD vehicle if you want to get there if you want to be sure you will make it back home. I didn't realize that this car was in Ouray or I might have actually tried to see it this weekend when I had 4 days off. Damn! I would like to have seen it. |

Johny is correct. Timing is everything. Lots of cars for sale, now that tax time is here, and the pricing reflects the sellers need to sell.
If a person has a really really nice 914-6 or 914-4 to sell ebay would not be the first place I would use for marketing. The Porsche related websites would be first, although this may not be where you end up selling the car, then move to the collector car lists. Then try ebay if you do not have a sale. The potential buyers are going to either see the car for sale or hear about it from someone else who did see it for sale on the Porsche sites. Appears that it has 6 hours left till end of auction. Still at $25k. CCLIN914NATION |

I exchanged email with the seller to ask if the LE was for sale. He said "maybe". I also exchanged mail with Jeff Bowlsby re: the car. He said it is a legit. LE and rare in that it came with the vinyl sails. Clear to me that the owner is a collector and cars are of high quality. Also clear that he has (or will) price them accordingly. I was fishing for a "deal" on the LE. I think it will take more "bait" than I am willing to put out. But I also think both cars are likely premium examples.

I too have communicated w/ this gentelman, about 2 or 3 yrs ago. I've been registered on the LE site now for 4 years. It is an LE w/ vinyl sail trim... extremely rare. If I remember correctly he runs carbs on it & puts the D-jet back in for shows. As for the six I had no idea it was a concours winner & did not discuss it w/ him back then.
