Anyone in the area that can check out these cars?
914-6 Oakdale, CA
I went by Rods house today and looked at the 6 on e-bay!
It is a very clean California 914-6 with a very well running 3.2L in it. There are a few small details with the car but all in all it is one of the cleaner "almost" original 6's out there! It is a GREAT start for a nice easy restore but it does need a lot to be CCW!
The good:
Interior is original and very clean! Even the dash has no cracks and the seats have no tears! I could not find any rust anywhere except the Hell Hole, not even a trace of anything resembling rust! The rockers have never been removed and I could see mud and dirt stuck inside so that I will leave to someone else to figure out! The motor is well maintained and used all the factory stuff except an oil line and the muffler. It is FI and may only have 60K-70K miles on it! He bought a 911 with front damage that had been sitting for 10 years and put the motor in 4 years ago! No smoke and it smelled very clean from the exhaust.
Rod is a very genuin guy and has owned the car since 1991. It was hit on the front drivers side and he didn't know anything about it. The hood has a slight bow and the front does not have the original holes going through it. The door gap on the drivers side also indicates an impact to the front drivers corner. The hell hole looks like it is just starting to poke through to the bottom! I have a photo that I will post later but this is the only spot that I could see that had any signs of rust. It didn't look bad but as you all know, you never know! Behind the passenger seat near the hell hole was modified to fit the fuel pump and could have been done with a bit more class but it doesn't look bad.
For a daily driver it would be a steal at 15.5k and a good buy at 17K I think with the way the $ is now he could get 20K-25K from our friends in Europe if he includes the original 2.0L engine!
It is one of the cleanest unmolested 6's (except the 3.2L engine) with the only repaint on the front to repair the damage.
OK so feel free to post questions and I will try to answer them!
PS: I wish I had bought this one to start my project!!
