My car with the Minilites is 914 043 1095
The other car is 914 043 1108
Thirteen apart.
My chassis 131279
The other car is chassis 131270
Eight chassis apart
My engine is 6404638
The other car has engine 6404639 !!!!!!!! Bingo !
Consecutive engine numbers !!
There's more.
My friend EJ got his 6 # 1208 a few months ago and needed someone to
reassemble it. The car had sat as a stalled restoration since 1991
The engine had been rebuilt but was never started
I'm the lucky guy who did the honors.
Unbelievably, the engine had been rebuilt by Fred Apgar, who I worked for in 1978 !
Here they are in my driveway today.

Rory,

My six, which I bought in 1981 from Chris Worley on the recommendation of Fred Apgar is 0311. Steve Gaglione’s old six, which he bought around the same time was 0310. It is for sale in the upper mid west recently I think. The engine numbers are 5 numbers apart. Both were sold new in Connecticut. It’s a very small world.

Rory,
As always your work is meticulous. Love the close numbers on those 6’s

Nice cars, but aren't the serial numbers 113 apart not 13 apart?
gcrotvik
Typo?

My car with the Minilites is 914 043 1095
The other car is 914 043 1208
Thirteen apart. (1208-1095=113)

Was just going to comment on the BAT car- looks very nice. Can't believe he's selling it!!!!!!

Every day I say I should have never sold my '71 real 6...

Have you met our ejm? Not exactly young. In fact, I think he is older than I am, and my knees tell me that I'm pretty old... wink.gif

How did you get that overhead shot Rory? Did you climb on top of the Westy?
rgalla9146

Stand on the Westy roof ? No way
Probably a eight foot ladder.
Nothing elaborate.......at least not like your used to Mr Madison Ave !

Was this car in NJ in the 1991 time frame before it was restored by chance?

Scott....right ?
It could well have been.
The previous owner may have been Asian or Latin.
The car is definitely from NJ. I never got where though.
Fred did the engine.

SOLD ! $68,500 Going to Europe
A rerun of the family reunion is going to be far less likely in the future.
Sorry to see the long lost twin go.

My lucky orange streak continues.
There's even a VIN angle to this addition.
I recently acquired a very nice numbers matching 914 6 that was delivered new in California.. It's a very rust free, damage-free car. And very complete.
This car is exactly 1100 cars older than the Canary yellow car I've owned since 2006.
After a nearly twenty year slumber it is awake and runs very well.
I can't wait to clean it thoroughly and do all that it needs.
I'll be proud to enjoy it much as it appears now.

Nice score. Congratulations. beerchug.gif

Rory,

How many do you have? I’ve seen pictures of your Orange car with the Minilites, the white one with the flares, you have a yellow one too?

I believe he's up to an equivalent month's production from the factory at Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen.

You can't have too many Porsches. Just sayin'

Yes Charlie I have a Canary yellow one.
It's a Cali delivery car, complete, numbers matching and rust free.
Dormant for many years after a DE incident at Riverside
Recently received necessary love. Running and driving.
Ready to be a great driver or by todays standards an easy restoration.
