Ah yes, the elusive 1976 3.6 911S motor with carbs
Somehow I don't think this guy has driven the car (from the looks of it), so how can he tell it goes fast?

because it's yellow...well this portion of the car is yellow

A "real" 914-6 with a 911 motor?

I don't know much about "real" 914-6 cars, so school a noob.... Would you call the motor from a "real" 914-6 a 911 motor?

It's already more money than it's worth. You'd be upside down in that quick.

If the guy has the vin right, its is an original six.

A 914-6 motor is a 1969 911 T motor.

look there's no rust here:



sad that this is the best picture...

He says it's a 2.7 motor after someone came to look at it and told him.

Ok.

Just symantics I guess... If it wasn't transplanted from a 911, I wouldn't call it a 911 motor. I would say it is an original 916-6 motor (also used in the '69 911). But then I would be getting too anal.

Just emailed machinenut in hopes to see car before he sells. Never knew there was one around here before.

current high bidder bought a nice looking '72 914 in Oct.....price is way up there, hope like he// the car is rust free and the miles are as claimed

Speaking from experience, I know all about that...

not to totally hijack this thread , but what do you guys think an original six in this condition should be going for? And because i'm dreaming assume that the fender isn't all smacked to hell and all the original six bit's and pieces are at least in box's and come with the car.

Eric

itll buff up just fine....

Holy crap!!!

Talk about the mother of all hell holes...

wow, after seeing that, you'd have to "pay" me to take that car......


I really would like to see it get restored, but it'll never, ever be a money maker for the buyer unless he has slave labor doing the repairs and gets the parts for free......

You guys want the real skinny on the car?

I went and looked at it...

Thank you Allan for looking at it for me....the guy just cheated himself out of $2K minimum.

Now tell them what you saw..................

After bagging on it so hard do you think they are worthy?

No, but they wouldn't get off their lazy asses to make moves to have it PPIed....so make them hurt with what was there that they bagged on from the images

unless there is some secret stash of NOS parts that we are not aware of, I see unwarrented "bagging" at all

do tell !!!!!

On second thought Allan...forget it...

The guy that got the auction ended early just got a steal. After your inspection Glenn and I figured about 3K to put it back into shape

3K my A$$ !!!!!

Alrighty then...

I went and looked at the car on Wednesday for Ron. It is an original six with a '74 2.7. The only other part that wasn't original was the rear bumper (later year. Maybe '73).

Although the right rear fender had rust through on the outside, the body was actually very, very solid. It had a fabbed up battery tray but the hell hole was solid, no rust through at the firewall and the longs on both sides were solid although the jack posts needed to be replaced. Both the passenger and drivers floors were in really good condition (original color was yellow). Front and rear trunks had 1 nickel size hole in each. The only real issue with the body was the excessive bondo used.

All of the parts were with the car and believe it or not the only problems with the interior was a couple average size cracks in the dash and a softball size rip in the drivers seat.

As for the motor, he told me it was running but the battery was dead. Maybe, maybe not. He had a ton of documentation. Motor had been gone through in '85. Head stud issue was taken care of and new p/c's were installed along with a valve job.

$4200.00 was a steal...

Any questions?

Paint & Body by Los Panchos

New tires

Rebuild brakes

Reassemble lights and shit

EDIT: new window seals

2nd EDIT: Buy a good looking 2.7 driver for 8K!!!!

Well, so much for keeping this one a secret.

Suddenly everybody is silent....

................
Fools said i, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

Beware of silent dogs and still waters.
