Alright, let's talk 914-6 ... Options

[SirAndy]

So, after having had the pleasure to drive this beautiful, unmolested, all original, 37k miles 914-6 today, i can't help but wonder if we should attempt to list all the differences between an early /6 and early /4 in terms of originality.

I believe it would be of tremendous help to have a list of things "to look for" when doing a PPI on such a time-capsule.

What do ya'all think?

Hi guys,

I have a serious question. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Can a late 1970 914-6 with a 0 after the 914 on the vin # and titled as a 1971 be converted to a factory 1971 M-471 option car????
Example: vin # 91404321?? (late#'s) and titled as 1971 be a real 1971???

Inquiring minds want to know, because I know of a 914-6 that's for sale??? Need answer ASAP.

Wolfgang are you interested?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Tom, it might be my lack of knowing english, but unfortunately I didn't get the point of your question - I've no idea what you're asking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

but the VIN you showed is incomplete

there is always a rumor, that the factory might have built M471 cars in MY'70 (914.0.43.xxxx), but only at special request - not as a standard procedure
remember - they also built the competition cars from the very beginning of the production
BUT - there's no proove yet

for sure - if there is a MY'70 914-6 with the M471 option, I would be the 1st who's interested in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

Hi Wolfgang,

I didn't want to list the owners full vin # for security reasons. What I was trying to find out if a late 1970 vin # on an original 6 that sold in 1971 is a true factory 1971?

It was titled with a 1971 title when sold in early to mid 1971 with a 1970 vin #. My question, is it a true 1971?? The reason for asking, I understand the M-471 option is a true factory option from Porsche on 1971 & 72 models only? This car does not have flares or anything M-471, but I am interested if it could be made into a real factory M-471 option car.
