Dubious if the car has 5894 original miles... https://www.diamondmotorworks.com/1973-pors...arga-c-4254.htm Short video of the outside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cAVkUUa1Xs Has the VIN listed as "473291972" but assuming they mean 4732901972 which isn't in the VIN database. Has the front euro turn signal lenses and the kit to relocate the parking light to the bottom, so some previous owner was detail oriented lol.. |

@JamesM
is that another fake document you can see underneath the dick barbour cigarette burn tortured window sticker? detail from one of the BAT images previous sale. meant to be Porsche + Audi order/sales form for car originally? they should look like this? fake order form would be interesting. just picked up something remembering our 74 1.8 research. in 74 you could get the factory console with gauges and you could get fuchs wheels on your 1.8. but it was additional equipment - special order. esp the console because it involved installing the sender plate on the 1.8 engine which did not come equipped with the sensor plate + wiring like all 2.0 engines. the few i found had sales documentation showing it was a factory placed order. also the engines seemed to have a different stamped paint number on the tin when they were console cars. i imagine it was the same in 73 if you bought a 1.7. slightly bigger deal to get a console car from the dealer. you could aftermarket it of course. but the order sales form would specify that equipment as on car to start with. EDIT the bit of wiring i am talking about is the wire installed on engine from sensor up behind fan casting. the 1.8s did have the tunnel wiring. but that bit of wiring on the engine along with the sensor made a console on a 1.8 a bigger deal than on the 2.0. |
