I just got back from my trip to Argentina (4wks) and I found this old 1998 mag at a new stand with a Yellow 914-6 GT on the cover, so I had to pick it up for my 914 club members.
It says that it is the original 914-6 GT that the Porsche sold to Fernandez brothers. It raced in various events and even the Monte Carlo. It seems to have been restored, it also has dual driver side windshield washers, I guess to better clean the dirt and snow. I had heard that this 914 GT had been wrecked in Spain, if you look at the inside photos you will notice that the ignition is on the steering colum, as far as I know the only 914-6’s that had the starter key on the colum are from 1972. In all this car looks neat and it adds one more GT if real to our list of 914’s. I will added the photos as fast as I can, also don’t shoot me for the bad stitching Thanks Quilmes (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Attached image(s) |

The obvious things for me would be the VIN, chassis #, and paint code from all the usual locations. The location of the chassis # from the rear trunk is also important; center or right hand side. The number on the underside of the dash would also help. If the chassis # is on the Karmann badge, does it match the trunk floor. Does the VIN match in all locations.
Does the passenger seat have fixed or adjustable position? Is the dash early or late type? Is the bracket for the booster fan in the engine compartment present? |
