Check this out- a somewhat tired looking but complete running -6 that appears to be a euro model. I e-mailed him for the VIN to be sure it's real. $3500 is not bad to start, although you never know what the rust report will say...White 914-6

I also emailed them for the VIN...got it this AM...may have transposed 2 digits...but if I get to go look...I'll give full report...rust also. Anyone else in the St Louis area want to join me? The more eyes.... the better. I believe these people are used car dealers...month ago they were advertising a 924...and I inquired about it...I think I got a reply from the same email address...we shall see...

Will let all know...

if it turns out to be 9140430676 it'd make sense ...

with the exception of that one '72, all the Euro /6's i've seen have been very early cars - < 0750.

that listing, BTW, shows what we used to call the "snowplow" air dam. haven't seen them for a while - i still have one...

Hey Rich....why haven't you written all 50 states DMV's to see if that VIN is regsitered anywhere?

couple of reasons...

first, CA sends me NonOp certificates every year, so i know it's still on their computers. anyone trying to go through normal channels will be having to deal with that (which is why i suspect it's off the books if it still exists anywhere).

most important - if it turned up now, i'd have to deal with it. i don't have the time or money to deal with what i suspect would be legal issues dealing with whoever (if anyone) currently has possession. i'd have to pay to get it here, and once here, i'd have to put it somewhere. i'm already paying $300/mo to store two dead Porsches, and there is not really room in the facility for yet another.

if i come across it, i will deal with it. i'm not in a position to deal with an active search, or the consequences of finding it. my life has a plan and a direction now (as it didn't for too many years...). in a couple-three years, i will be in a better position to address this issue. not now tho.

we'll have to wait and see where the proxy bids go in 6 days and 4 hours. for west coast guys the irish green car jim chambers has/had is a more attractive car.

Hey eresener,
A couple things to check for in identifying if it's a Euro car.I got one,it's #841
1.It won't have any door jam sticker,they didn't come w/any.
2.It have a serial#on the windshield post either.
3.The rear 914/6 emblem is correct on the rear.Look and see if the rear wasn't re-drilled for it.
4.Make sure there are bulbs in the lower turn signal assy's.
5.Metric speedo
6.Euro's didn't have side marker lights.Look behind the front wheels to make sure they don'thave any holes bondo'd up.
7.Look under the engine lid at all the foil information decals.They should all be written in German,no English.
8.If he's got a battery,pull the headlight switch to parking lights.The lights should pop up and parking lights come on.
Just a thought.
Ron

okay - it's got the right tach, ignition on left, and a hand throttle - looks like a /6. there must be some reason there are no engine or rear-view pictures. i couldn't get much else out of those photographs... basketweave seat upholstery - hmm - mine had corduroy; couldda been an option i s'pose ...
