Oh and I found this a couple days ago. Punched an engine number into google to see if anyone was looking for it. The engine they claim is in this car....it's sitting in my shop, in a '66
Not a bit of silver Krylon on the engine either
http://www.beverlyhillscarclub.com/1968-po...11l--c-1696.htmWhile your comment referrers to a 911, I firmly believe that we will see more and more of these kinds of scumbags moving in 914 circles, plus claims for all numbers matching, owned by some well know Porsche guy, genuine LE etc to bump the price and scam the unwary.
It happened to long nose 911's, good and in particular higher performance S & RS are now out of reach of the vast majority (I bought my S near on 18 years ago and regard myself as lucky). Short hoods are going, some gone the same way. It's happening to -6 and -4's will be next as people have realised that any 914 is a great, fun little car / the average guy tries to find something he can still afford
As prices rise, more and more cars will be worth restoring and more profit is potentially there to be had. Ok your average 914 is never going to reach 911S prices due to shear volume produced, but mark my words Porsche Classic will start to remake 914 specific parts because demand will be there
In the UK I could name a bunch of these types of assholes, including some of the super well known, well spoken, well dressed crowd
That is why sites like the World and the 'right kind of reprobates' that hang out here is so important
