Interesting car - personally I do not like the sloped front end, but the car seems nice regardless. Looks like the current owner has put a lot of work into it and has the matching transaxle and engine case. This car is worth some money. |

Owner is a Very Good Friend of mine and a Member here (9Werks). I sourced the Original Engine Case for him, I think it had a 911S Motor when he got it. He works up at Brumos in Jacksonville. He has owned at least 4 Real 914-6s. I talked to him last night about my car & today about his. I put in a Ceremonial Bid of $914 when there were 9 Days 14 Hours left in the Auction (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I have bought a 914-6, 911 Cab & a Vintage Volvo from him, he has bought 2 74 Carreras, and a Harley Truck from me. The Steel Slope is nicely done - I would expect this car to go back home to Germany. Here is the car when he bought it with my 911 behind it. It was White, but it has had a Bare Metal Repaint back to Silver. |

We were offered that car back in 2006, decided against it, took the cash instead.
That int was wild. |

Very interesting car. T.C. can you elaborate on the ROW market and who did the custom panel work?

Sort of a Gemballa 914...
I also agree it will probably go back to Germany and get sorted back to stock. |

Very interesting car. T.C. can you elaborate on the ROW market and who did the custom panel work? I know the Custom Front end was done in Europe ( Italy I think). I'm not sure what the ROW question is - but obviously 72's are rare by themselves due to the very low number made and a ROW 72 would be a even lower number. I think it will go back home to Europe, but I'm not sure everyone there would undo the front end. I have quite a few pictures of European 914-6s with the same treatment (these pictures may have convinced him to keep the front end) I would have changed the front end, but I understand why he didn't - he planned on keeping the car, but like me, life changes and we don't have time to work on cars like we used to. Here is a picture right after the paint |

Wow, TC, when I stripped the paint off my car one of the colors it was painted before it was white was Gemini Blue... and had 8&9's like the one in your photo.

With the low headlights, I wonder if it's street legal in the US.

How come it has the ignition on the column? I thought -6s had the ignition on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. Is this a 72 only thing? Just curious...

I hate slant nose cars, but I really dig this 914-6. I wish I could buy it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

The COA call out A/C. Where is the hole in the trunk?

Like most CoA's for our cars, that one is incorrect

My car sold off EBay to a local buyer who picked it up today... leaving me sad and a bit remorseful.
For those of you who keep track of (or are simply curious as to) the current values of these rare 914's, the sale was just south of $40K. |
