No affiliation.....this looks like a nice barn find that a dealer found only 10 minutes from my office (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Nice patina.....$69K.

I'll never understand the "Barn Find/Garage Find" trend of selling it with all of the dust and dirt. Is this so that the buyer can be the one to give it it's first cleaning and all the "glory" that comes with that moment?

I wonder how much the dealer paid the elderly person or family for it. Wait, no, I don't want to know because I'll get depressed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thanks for sharing, the car is beautiful. I’m on the hunt for an original six (and the wife us supportive) but the inner door / rocker rust looks extensive. in addition, the motor will probably need a rebuild and by the time we restored the car we would have well over $100K in the vehicle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) After our last two nut and bolt restorations we are looking for a more turn key 6 and will most likely go the auction route.

What is your budget for a turn key 6?

Wow. That is indeed a nice car and as original as I have ever seen. Sure it needs some work, but it is all there. That's a tough one though - clean and correct any issues and drive it. Why couldn't I find one of those in a garage to join my '71 in my garage?

Denpends on the car, color, and the PO history... but we expect 75-110.

Yep the bumper is a clue, look closely at the picture that shows the drivers quarter panel looking up from the jack post. It appears that a quarter panel was rivited on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Add in the rust in the pass side lower door sill bottom this one is gonna need a bunch of work.

I'm clueless with paint thickness measurements, but what does it mean when the readings go from 3-6 and then jump to 17-20 at that rear drivers side fender?

3.5 to 6 would be "ok". When you get to double digits it's had paint work. Worse scenario is when the meter goes to "infinity", as in it cannot get a reading. That's plastic.

Good eye on those rivets Ferg!! 20 mils on the rear of that panel. The car needs to be around 30k Add a fresh engine, correct the improper repairs, Cracked dash pad, Etc., etc., go over the entire car with the Ferg treatment... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/FERG.gif) Then you have a car worth the price it could bring.

Everything that has patina with this car is not adding value because the next owner will have to either throw it away or fix it. I don't get the patina thing either. If it's rusted, busted, corroded or otherwise not usable I call it garbage.

I enjoyed the paperwork. The doctor traded his 65 Vette in and got $2,000 for it.

Nice find...

Apparently it has been hit in the rear and repaired.
Rear bumper late model....etc. as noted.
Also seam sealer in the rear trunk is another key...that's not how factory looks when painted.

Check out the salesman's name A. Holbert, signature at the bottom of the sales invoice. Could it be Al Holbert. World famous driver and Porsche salesman?

Nice early center tray !

Why is the engine relay box mounted to the firewall??? Part of the body repair?

Even has all the cold start fuel plumbing installed (FIRE, FIRE, FIRE)

Good eye on spotting the rivets, the mid west is hard on old 914s

This 6 has a lot of appeal....I actually like the patina. It reminds me of John Straub's SWB 911.....which is well known in the vintage 911 circles. If the 6 was mine I'd leave it as-is and just make sure it was mechanically / structurally sound.

I appreciate the honesty of the car and seller on this one. One thing that stands out is the perfect alignment of the hood/headlights/eyebrows. Missing is the chrome steel wheels in lieu of alloys. Without observing the service documents I think 186,000 miles seems more likely judging from the coco mats and black Webers IMHO. Website says sale pending.
