So my son sees an ad in the back of Autoweek. "look dad, a 914/6 just like yours".. so I ask if it has tan interior too? well, no, its black, but from the pic it looks nice so I go online to check it out.
https://canepa.com/photo-gallery/1970-porsche-91465840/ A beautiful car. But what annoys me? When I read the ad it says things like "Extremely period-correct restoration" "Extensive list of rare and NOS parts used" and twice mentions "a correct NOS heel pad with new perlon carpet" But then as I scroll through the pics I see 1) questionable lenses (unless a euro car, no sidemarkers or red tailights) 2) wrong rear valance (looks like a -4 valance) 3) Really? 400 miles on the odo? is there a reason why folks reset the odo after a restoration? 4) Didn't see a jack handle 5) Ride height seems a little low (certainly not OEM), but that is subjective 6) I thought the underside of the front trunk and floorpans are body colored.. not black.. (at least on mine its body colored.. and on my 70-4 it was body colored) On the other hand, I sure wish mine was that clean. wow. Maybe I am just griping, but wondered what others thought of this example. |
