Totally lost on why it hadn't sold before,bidding appears to be strong so this must be the better market place,the little nit-picky things are far out weighed by the fact in has a upgraded/rebuilt motor and gearbox refreshed which most will know is certainly not cheap.
With less than six days to go it will be interesting to see the final winning bid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) .

It is as is where is. You could spend a lot more time and money, but where is the fun in doing some of this as the new owner?

If this is as bad as it gets, and prettye it is, then bid accordingly.

I love the car and color, but I would like to see the interior light, correct side mirror, stock carpet, speakers, stereo, seatbelts installed, steering wheel, VIN sticker, back pad fixed, door vent grills, frunk carpet, remove screws in trunk, restore the exhaust, and a few other minor issues.


...and if those "minor issues" were addressed, you'd buy the car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I think so. Looks like Jett has bid twice already! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

I apologize. Maybe the first time I've seen someone nit pick a for sale car but actually be interested in buying it.

Good luck Jett!

Those are all good things to address and I have been meaning to get to several of them for a while but just a super busy life/work/kids has got in the way.

Hi everyone,

My 914-6 is now live on BAT:

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-porsche-914-6-29/

If anyone has any suggestions for the listing or can provide input if you have seen the car, please do so.

I think this post is ok here as it's not technically an ad, but if not please just remove it.

What a crazy week to start an auction?!?!

Thanks!

-Steve

Steve I may be doing the same soon.

Nit-pickers aside (said as someone who is as nit-picky as anyone...), this 6 is nicer, more correct, and more desirable (to me) than some of the 6s that have gone to six figures on BaT.

Color, overall look, wheels, and seller all seem spot on to me. Sure, he's an enthusiastic driver and uses the car—but any concern about the hard launch would be addressed in the 901 and the drive shafts....a small amount of $ against the price this is likely to go to. And the runs to redline (the engine's, not the tach's) are encouraging to me rather than discouraging. That's what these cars were made to do. And I'd definitely take this 914-6 over one that has sat and needs everything and every seal to be gone through. But that's just me. As for the concours concerns, they can be easily rectified, it looks like—but the deleted U.S. side markers, Euro lenses, Euro driving lights, steering wheel, etc sum it up for me: Incorrect, but great calls that would add to my enjoyment of the car. There are enough perfect examples out there to compete for 100 points. This one looks like a super nice driver, which is my favorite kind of car. And Irish remains one of my favorite colors on the 914... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

I sure would have. There's just something about an Irish Green early car for me. I don't care for the color quite so much on modern Porsches—I think it's that they're too big?—but find it utterly irresitable on late 356s, longhand 911s & 912s, and 914s.

I'd store this car's Mahle for occasional use, add a set of deep 6s or 7Rs, and get back to driving.

Very nice car. Beautiful!

The air cleaner has a better sheen than most cars.

Tough crew on this sale wow ? but not in a good way IMO car is 75K easy but we do have issues with Corona which will effect luxury items like cars which as we all know are not great investments...food for thought.

Well,
If you have cash in the bank it's a buyers market. It just got a little harder to borrow against your 401K.

Absolutely agree.
It will be tough getting top dollar now as the Corona steamrolls though the economy.

I'm not sure how you & BAT have this auction set up with a reserve but in the world of 914s...a perfect car (near perfect car) it only takes one seller and one buyer to get the deal done. Good luck as always with this sale, there is one new owner-to-be out there hunting this down !

^ True, and only one seller and 2-3 real buyers to obtain a very good price—and this car has the right combo of features, colors, and condition to be deeply desirable to a lot of folks who can see through a temporary crisis. It will be interesting to see what happens, but this is a very nice example...
