A very original 6 in very nice condition.

Meanwhile, this modded '74 1.8 went for $84k at the same auction?

Makes you wonder if some of these are fake bids? It’s hard to believe someone would pay that for a 1.8, but maybe alcohol was involved?

The 914-6 seemed market correct.

yeah well.
i wish i was there to get that 6.
because they are only going to get into the stratosphere.
and that one looked pretty good.

too late for me.
i own a 1.8 and i am just thinking whatever went down with that particular 1.8 was either a bogan moment (look that up on internet for translation from aus) or ........
actually there is no alternative explanation.

Is it a Euro car? Cannot see the speedo but has VW script, euro turn lenses, and no side marker lights.......or just not so 'original' and these things are changed.

I didn't think to check that out. It may have been a EURO car, Ray

The video showed the A pillar VIN tag that did not come with European cars. I noticed the euro tail lights and euro six badge too.
Very nice car nonetheless.
