914-6 GT? Options

[out_0f_exile]

Hi,

Does anyone know how rare a factory 1970 914-6 GT is? My step dad recently came arcoss one and is currently putting it all together (parts had been removed). So if anybody knows much about them or even better, how much they go for at an auction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

I saw in an Excellence article there were 50 914-6 GTs. Is this the case? Did people in Europe get these cars and not race them?

my opinion.
part of the problem with this discussion/thread.. is "what constitutes a GT?"

there were I believe 200 fender kits produced.
they had to produce a certain number in order to legalized the option for their racing cars.

so does that mean 200 GT's existed
in my opinion no.
I don't think a fender kit constitues a real GT
a fender kit, makes it a cool 914-6 with fender flares, but doesn't really make it faster.

so it all boils down to what really is a GT and what is not really a GT.
most people agree that a real GT has race history, a hot motor, and the fender kit with associated bits and pieces.

I think the 16 or so GT's are pretty universally agreed upon.
but the remaining 200 fender kit cars are more debateable.
