exactly one year after I signed the contract of sales I picked up my new six
it was a 5 hrs ride in one direction, then change cars and 5 hrs back
all in all I was really impressed how good this one is,
but to meet my personal imaginations, I will still have to invest some work and money ...
I had no camera with me, so there are only two shots in my garage ...

.........Looks cool & very together

WOW! What a beautiful car. Almost too nice to drive.

Beautiful car! Even the ghosts like it (orbs in first picture).

I'm glad you like it. Love that color!


Like i said back then, it's California clean but not German/Austrian clean ...

Very nice indeed..... A real beauty!

Only 3,300 Sixes were built and you will not find one that looks as good as yours! Congratulations! That is one fine looking car! I know you are very proud of it as you should!

Terry

nice!!!

Congratulations, great looking car and color!
Then again I have 3 green cars, I'd probably trade them all for yours.

Nice car Gustl, and I bet it sounds sweet as well!

Could you park it a little closer to the wall?

Nice car! We are all sure we will see some more beautiful photos of this car in its' European environs. Congrats.

Absolutely beautiful six. Congratulations.

thanks guys

yes, I'm really proud to own that beauty
it sounds and runs perfect, the tranny shifts wonderful, the paint is almost perfect (only two very small rock chips)
I replaced the US lights all around with almost perfect Euro units and NOS glasses
I will get a fresh recromed rear bumper as well as the long rear valance (both correct 1970 style, perfect condition) from a friend
the rear trunk lock has to be done (doesn't work yet), and the roof needs some work (paint starts to peel off)
some minor things like the rear trunk light (I already have a perfect one) and a roof clamp (in the rear trunk) need to be replaced, the odometer doesn't work, the basket wave dash board skin need to be re-glued on some places ...

but once again - I can't remember seeing an original, unrestored 914-6 in that good condition
(well, maybe I'm a little biased )

Gustl

Very Nice, Congrats

Oooooo that color does it for me...

Wow! Nice score!

What a great find. How much of it is original?

All I can say is WOW, WOW,WOW!

Enjoy!

BTW, is it for sale?

it's really very, very original
just a few things are not original, like the rear bumper and valance (both are later style) and some other minor things
it got repainted in the original colour about 10 years ago

here are some nice pics from my today tour through the near mountains

Not only is the car beautiful, so is the countryside you drove through to get those pix.

:envious-smily:

Congrats

Ok Gustl, here's the deal, I will trade you my 20 year old daughter (she's gorgeous!) and a hockey stick signed by Sidney Crosby!

I saw Sidney Crosby perform once. I really like her music. I had no Idea she also played hockey.

Nice car Gustl!!

Very nice. Are you going to change the headlight surrounds back to white? Black always looks right, but white is correct.
Good luck.
Don

perfect. just perfect, you'll get my vote.

sure - I already have a nice set at home

Well that was a very long wait Wolfgang! Glad to see you're

That is simply gorgeous. Congrats and enjoy

Wow!

Now that is a nice six!

Just saw these pics, Nice!! Thats an interesting looking garage to! VERY clean!

Superb !!!!

done

Looking lovely:)

A friend of mine, Kevin over her in the UK has the matching sister car!!

That sure is ein toll auto! Gratulieren!

Are those tires original size?

Love the mountains too

as delivered in May 1971: 185HR14 on 5.5x14" Fuchs

Ohhh man that looks great!

Excellent!

Are you going to convert everything to European delivery or maintain the American delivery originality? The latter sure would create some interest in your neck of the woods.

I'm pretty sure US spec lenses are not street legal in Austria ...

Looks like he has already converted the turn-signal housings to function as the euros did. See bottom pic on post #32. Very nice!

WOW what a great looking 914 you have there i love the colour really suites the car did you buy from the states or europe .

I try to keep it as original as possible, but there are some things that I needed to change to get it street legal (Euro-Lenses f+r, Euro housings f);
I also changed the speedo to a completely rebuilt Euro-version (km/h instead of mph). In addition I changed some connection at the main-light-switch, so that the headlights don't pop up on pos.1 (position lights only)

I bought it in the USA (SF bay area, where the car stayed its entire life)
