914/6 at Canepa Options

[Racer]

So my son sees an ad in the back of Autoweek. "look dad, a 914/6 just like yours".. so I ask if it has tan interior too? well, no, its black, but from the pic it looks nice so I go online to check it out.

A beautiful car. But what annoys me? When I read the ad it says things like

"Extremely period-correct restoration"
"Extensive list of rare and NOS parts used"

and twice mentions "a correct NOS heel pad with new perlon carpet"

But then as I scroll through the pics I see
1) questionable lenses (unless a euro car, no sidemarkers or red tailights)
2) wrong rear valance (looks like a -4 valance)
3) Really? 400 miles on the odo? is there a reason why folks reset the odo after a restoration?
4) Didn't see a jack handle
5) Ride height seems a little low (certainly not OEM), but that is subjective
6) I thought the underside of the front trunk and floorpans are body colored.. not black.. (at least on mine its body colored.. and on my 70-4 it was body colored)

On the other hand, I sure wish mine was that clean. wow.

Maybe I am just griping, but wondered what others thought of this example.

We stopped by Canepa for their open house before Rennsport and got to talk with Bruce about this car. Very nice car. Probably as close to a new car as you are going to get at this point. Sure there is always one more thing you can do, but there is not much left on this one. The one thing that surprised me was that there was just a little bit of oil dripping from the engine, but hey, they got that part right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) This is a car that is all about location, when you go here and see all of the other beautiful and rare cars everywhere, (I think we counted 8 959's alone) $125k is bargain by comparison. really t the feeling of a kid in a toy store. If you ever get the chance, Stop in and see the place.
