About 2 weeks ago I was offered a "914-6 GT". Well, I know that I can't afford a geniune GT, but I was interested and asked for more infos.
This is what I've got:

It's a clone of the well known Tergal 914-6 GT, that raced the '71 Monte Carlo.
The base car was a 1972 914 1.7 Liter which got a 2.4 Liter 911 T engine and the break system of a 911 RS installed.

The car is located in Spain, Europe ... asking price is EUR 45,000 (currently about US$ 65,500)

here are some photos:

I just went up in to the loft to find the old AA catalogue with the 916 article. The 916 didn't have a 47##### chassis number. George said his had a 914 chassis number but he discovered a VW paint code for white, as used in the Karmann factory, rather than the '1110' code used for white on cars from Stuttgart. He also mentioned the six engine mount had been welded poorly with a torch rather than spot welded and the oil tank holes and mounts had been lashed up similarly. He believed the chassis was a 1971 four cylinder pulled from the Karmann line rather that use a good 914-6 for what was a prototype

From VIN 9141430400, approximately, all the 914/6 used the VW paint code, so I would expect that the 916 would have the VW code as well. If they were originally painted white by Karmann, that is not a problem. I guess the big question is, does the Karmann badge show the body # as well as the paint code?
