if anyone has more patience than me and is curious about this car, give the owner a call and post the details here. the person has listed this car at least twice now, yet does not reply to any emails asking simple questions. I just don't have it in me to talk to this owner, but am interested in finding out what this car is.

At a guess, it's a collection of (some of) the parts needed to turn a 914-6 into a 914-6 GT. What exactly those are is, of course, a matter of debate like so many of the specifics about 914s....

--DD

DD,

Do you recognize the name ?? They have a 650 area code (which covers a lot...but.. I thought you might know who this Jodaay person is.

B

Maybe he means the M471 package.

Geoff

Sorry, B--don't reconnize it.

yup...I was thinking M-471 too, but figured there was no way. of course there was not 1000 of them and it'd be more than $25k. with my luck it probably is though and I am missing out on it!

I wish people would use email, I hate phones.

Get directions. Email me privately and I will go look at it this weekend. I left my wallet and some other crap at the body shop.. so I have to go down this weekend. I'm also looking at another car down there..

B

Here's an idea... CALL!

I'm sure he will have all the answers to your questions if you ask HIM.

There's a phone number in the ad. What are you afraid of, just give the guy a call. Tell him you have almost 800 914 enthusiast friends that are looking (914world.com).

Ask for some pictures to be e-mailed. Post what you find here. You can probably help the guy sell what he has if it's any good.

Ask for a commission.

To me, "Full Racing Package" is probably beefed up suspension, brakes, rRacing seats, harness, rollbar, and extinguisher.

hmm...ok, can't pass that up. I'll call them later and find out the details.

thanks

I called yesterday.
Left my number on the voice mail.
Still waiting for him to reply.

sounds like this ad is a joke or they're not interested in selling. not sure why they would re-run the ad again though. after being online for almost 20 days now I'm sure we're not the only two to try and contact them.

Keep trying... everyone else could be thinking... "Oh it must of sold, so why should I bother calling" or "Why doesn't this guy have e-mail? If he had e-mail, I'd contact him"

It could still be sitting there.

A story... there was a 914-6 car for sale here in Florida about 2-3 years ago. Listed as a factory flared car. Turns out it was a factory M-471 optioned car. Sold for $30K after 10 days in the paper.

at least I still have my 415 (local) cell #. maybe they won't call back out of towners.

well I've now left my message for BILL.

Things must be slowing down on the "other" 914 sites....I see that DDDDD is slumming with the unwashed again.....

Bill did call me back.
He tried to answer my questions, but I really didn't learn anything.
He is not really a 'Porsche Guy'.
Said 'somebody' told him it was a rare car.
Supposedly all original. "No Rust" Just needs a little TLC.
Said the car had just been sitting the last 15 months.
He just got out of jail [flag color=red] [/flag color]
Said he would send me photos in a day or two.

Brad - did you get a chance to go down and check it out?

I need directions..

I'm going to southbay tomorrow.

B

brad, I will email you the address. he will be around tomorrow, before noon is fine.

the car is black and has flares (so he says). apparently someone looked at it today and took pics to post online. he said it has the racing package because it has dual webers and a "fully set" suspension. said it is a numbers matching car.

OK, I just spent 15 minutes typing my discription and posting a picture. When the picture was rejected due to size restrictions I went back and it eraced my discription. so, I will only say it is a solid car. Bill seems nice but not a Porsche Guy! He wants top $ and thinks he can get it if he has to wait 10 years then thats OK with him. The car used to be Silver and is now black. It looks like it was done well when the fiberglass flairs were installed.

Here are some pictures

Hard to see but the car was bumped in the front right and there is a kink in the passenger side front trunk support. The hood in the front sits funny now

oh my. looks like bill is only asking about $15,000 too much, at least.

I told him maybe $10-$12 for the right person but not me and he said he would wait for $20!! It is serial number 9140432344.

Jeff

DITTO

hmmm, think about brad's blue one that was WAY nicer than this one. wasn't the blue one $10k? bill is going to be waiting a very long time.

I looked up the serial number and that number would be a 1969 914-6??

914-6 serial numbers

Jeff

Jeff

There is someyhing worng with that chart
69# are for 70's
70#are for 71 and so on

Jeff and elmonte...

That chart refers to the date of manufacture, not the model year of the car.

I thought something was funny! The one I looked at in Bethel Island was #9140431167 this one is #9140432344 and that would be to much of a coincidence for 2 69s with a paint change to black in two days to show up in the bay area.

Jeff

Thanks Jeff.. saved me 2 trips..

Tell us about the Bethel island car..

This car needs help..badly. The door panels look nice..LOL

Everybody thinks they have a gold mine..


B
