That cars been worked over pretty good. Holes in the dash. Different gauges. Different struts. Engine. Rear Bumper. Front valance. etc...
WAY too much money for a car that will need an additional $15k to make it right.
If this were a conversion car, some of the changes would be fine but, I tend to look at original -6's as a fairly rare piece if 914 history. I tend to like them the way they are.
I remember thinking REALLY hard about spec'ing a 914 to that gold color in '72. Yeah, I know, most of you hate it - my wife hated it, which is why I have red (sometimes you need to barter a bit to get what you want). Besides, it was $300, which was 10% of the price of a 914-4 (never could figure out why black was that same price as gold or silver).
Back to the six on eBay......Not sure that it would take 15k, but at least 10. Still a decent example, though I would bet that most people would hold thier noses at the color (not me, of course). Oops, they just lowered the price to $28 - still way too much. My wife says the color isn't as bad as she remebered ( a good sign), so I think I may put a bid on it, though I'm sure it won't be accepted.
I can take care of some of it's foibles with spare parts. It just really bugs be why so many people think that semi-flat black paint is cool where it shouldn't be.
