That is a pretty damn nice car.

Looks like I'll be putting up on Ebay the 2 complete wood grain dash kits I have. I had NO idea it was that popular back in the day.

yeah nice looking car, love the color, but am not sure about what was done to the rear fenders. also, wonder why the owner suspects front end damage...what did he see? is a stock 2.4S really 200+ HP?

Real wood. Looks just like the kit in this guy's 914/6. I have one from "Muellers" 6 and one from my wifes car. It could be sanded and stained easily. The pieces came off nicely.

Let me make sure I have all of the pieces from my wifes car (hers is a 4cyl and is different from the 6)

The 914/6 pieces are at the shop. The 4cyl dash kit is here in the garage "somewhere".

That kind of thing is pretty easy to do for yourself. (Wood grain, that is).

I did all the dash pieces in my 911 in walnut this winter - all from the same board so the grain matches the entire length of the dash. Also, I turned my own shift knob out of walnut on the lathe.

Total cost - about 20 bucks.

Damn, that car is tempting... I have always said that the 2.4S engine would make a really nice 914-6... And the "bumped" rear fenders... Yowza!

BTW, the 2.4S engine was rated at 190 HP DIN spec.

Cool car, love the color...the rear flair technique is cool too. Get it a new steering wheel and rid of that wood dash and I'd hit it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Only problem is that I wouldn't want to buy a car with 100 million miles on it, haha (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I could be wrong but I thought the value of a factory six was derived from how original it is.

This car doesn't have the original engine, wheels, steering wheel, or carpets and as been in an accident. No factory tool kit either.

So, if this guy wants $17,000 for a non-original factory six does that mean original number matching factory sixes should get more money?

Or do factory sixes with anything in them get the same price regardless of originality?

Just curious.

I found a nice ivory factory six in Monterey VIN #9140432320 with everythins original asking the same price.

Ivory Factory Six

This one looks pretty darn clean and ready to modify or for concours.

that ivory one does look very nice, too bad it's a color change car (although it appears done right). this car has been for sale for a very long time though, wonder why?

in general it seems 914-6 prices are going thru the roof. I think the best deal was $16k for the nice irish green one in carmel.

What was the original color? Did talk to the people about the car? I didn't see any funny business with the pictures. Wasn't Ivory available in 1970 and that's the clue?

Curious.

I guess they have been asking a lot for it too. They say it was appraised at $19,000. That's pretty high.

the certificate of authenticity pictured on his site has the original exterior color has metallic green. kinda strange he doesn't mention the color change. and how can you win concours with a color change? this car has been up for sale for probably 2 years now from what I recall.

that car does look mint though. obviously he hasn't been trying to sell the car too hard. it is back up on autotrader as of last week. I think a couple years ago he was asking more than he is now. very strange about the color change, it almost seems like the certificate is wrong! I mean who would spend all that money to restore a 914-6 and then do a color change from a great color to a boring color?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yah, that is so weird that I emailed him to ask about it.

I would have kept the metallic green for sure.

I was looking at the pictures and the engine lid looks to have the correct stickers on the left side regarding fuel and stuff so, that is why I never would have considered it a color change car.
