so it could be a later model six with a stock valance

I don't think so - it's very likely a US-market car (although with Euro-spec rear lights and front flasher lenses) and there was no 914-6 in 1972

so it has to be a 1970 or 1971 car
it seems that the car has the short rear valace to get the GT-style exhaust pipes under it

My car is like i said a 70 and the steering wheel is not the same so i dont think its a 70 i dont really know. maybe someone will chime in ..I thought that they made six`s from 70-73? I`m sure someone will set us strait soon! perhaps the owner...............chat with ya soon

the steering wheel was the same for all model years - and engine types
this one seems to have a GT-style horn button instead of the standard horn button

the 914-6 was built in model years 1970+1971 for all countries ... 1972 for Europe only

This is a 1970. 912 Horn Button, Deep 6's, Wrong F & R valances, had a plastic dash-top cover, rear trunk was bare. I think US car with Euro lenses. Had the nicest bumpers I've ever seen and according to my friend it is the best driving (he said like a brand new car) Porsche he has driven (he has 40+, with at least 1 other Six)

I can't for the life of me understand why you guys always do this.

Who cares?

It's a fantastic 914/6 for $12k!!!!!!!!!!!! $12k?!?!?!?! Who cares what isn't factory correct? If I had seen that sitting on the edge of a golf course and priced at $12k I would have bought it in a heartbeat and I already have one!

Gint,

I drive by the golf course at least three time a week on my way home from work. About three weeks ago I had a friend of mine tell me he saw a "car like yours" at the golf course for sale. I kept looking for it as I drove by and never saw it and thought he must have been wrong. So I blew it off. Now I'm kicking myself. I would have found the money somehow.

Mr.T.C that is a very nice car for a very good price like ive already said.So it is a 1970 U.S car just like mine.Mine was that very same color #11 off the show room but is presently guards red ( right on) the steering wheel threw me for a loop with the horn button thing but now is see that you can change that to other styles.I actually like the looks of that wheel over my factory wheel. Anyway nice machine be proud.I thought i got the deal of the century but you win buy 2k good on ya mate....can we get more pictures

I for one really appreciate the critical review this board provides to car postings. I have learned soooooo much from these conversations. It also helps me to understand what direction the PO was taking the car.

I don't see the critical reviews as "picking apart" the car. If the buyer has "buyers remorse" after reading the postings, pleasee contact me. I'll take the car off your hands for $12,000!!!

BTW, the 72 914-6es used the 914-4 steering column, switchgear, and key location--on the right side of the steering column. So it couldn't be a 72--though as we've been told, it's a 70.

That makes sense, as there were something like four times as many 70s made as 71s, so it's more likely that any particular Six would be a 70 than a 71. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

In this market, more like a $25k to $30k car without too much trouble. Maybe even $35k if it was cleaned up and marketed properly.

I like the deep sixes, they are going for around $2000 for a nice set.
