certainly not a concours car and not an originally restored car. Look at the wool carpet kit in this one and the non original vinyl upholstry.

ok maybe we could play a little game. I wrote a list of 24 points that would make this car not pass factory muster, that is things that are not now the way the car came from the factory and would get points off in any concours originale competition. So far we have Pat's comments about the 1. no console with gauges for 1970 914-6 2. wrong carpet 3. steering wheel cover. Please who is next

18. wrong fitting coco mats may have been thrown in to protect carpets but not really an installed part.

You are very observant!

After all that, not a bad looking car however. It will be interesting so see what it goes for. If it's big, big bucks, I may have to list mine!

Missing Battery Cover
Blue Coil?

OK George I'll give it a shot- Euro Tailights, yes I've sinced removed them from my LE. Center console is all wrong- wrong style for that year, wrong number of gauges & where is the throttle control? Is that lighter right? Is that the right antenna- ie. Hirschman? Not sure- do sixes come w/ a rain guard on the engine bay? Also not sure- did sixes have that big pocket on the drivers door?

The surround for the inner door handle looks like black plastic rather than chrome, the crest on the hood.......

Metal air filter box
Fresh Air hoses

door panels (should be smooth)

very good! it has 72 style door panels installed. that is 18


heater knob (should be red) that is 19

clear back window (not sure about this ,but the 7 ive had had defrost)

I hope every 914 sold at BJ sets a world record. More power to the sellers and buyers.

To get back on track, this particular six has been around for about 4 years, off an don the different sale forums. I think it hit ebay at one time.
There are people who will go to BJ for a Porsche. I was their a year ago and watched as a very ricer 4 went across the block at $12k and a street racer 4 at $5000. I spoke to both of the winning bidders. They were very happy with their purchases.
Just because these cars are at BJ does not mean they are going to set world records. The cars that set world records are the extremely rare and extremely well preserved or restored muscle cars and or the flavor of the month.
Some of the cars at BJ are their and would not normally be for sale to the biddrs in attendance. Sellers realize that BJ brings out the top 10% of the collectors and bidders. No, I don't see any names here.
I think that BJ is an automotive experience that every gearhead should attend, just like Monterey Concours and the German Autofest, or Sebring or LeMans or Daytona.
I hope every 914 sold at BJ sets a world record. More power to the sellers and buyers.

I am leaving now I will post the rest tomorrow. There are several blatent things that are not so obvious though Certainly a nice car (we will never put down any 914!) and it will be fun to see what the car brings.

battery cover?

Actually BJ does not edit the consignors auto descriptions. Plus you would find on a State title or regisration, for a 914, coupe,targa and conv. It is the consignor who tells BJ what th car is. BJ makes certain the vins are correct and that the car is free and clear and salable on the auction block.

The hammered price of the 914-6 was $29500, then the buyers premium of 10% if an in house bidder, plus $500 bidder regisration, plus transport of the car, and gas fod and lodging. This adds up to much more than the price you see on the screen when the car rolls away.
