Up for auction is a nice 1970 Porsche 914-6. It has had one respray from new in the original color of metallic green. The paint looks very nice, but there is some "solvent pop on the hood & the headlight doors. It isn't super noticeable and I tried to photograph it but I want to be clear that the paint likely looks a little better in photos than in person. There is also a ding in the passenger door & another small one on the cowl. Both are pictured. The floors have some rust in them but no major holes. Yet. There is a small dent in the front bumper (pictured). The rest of the car is VERY solid. It was painted about 20 years ago, so if anything was going to show up, I think it would have by now. It runs, drives, shifts & stops very nicely. I didn't drive it a lot, but to me, this car is WAY more fun than a 911 especially with the top off. The former owner was a PCA auto-x enthusiast so he put a sport exhaust & weltmeister sway bars on it and lowered it a bit. Other than that it is original. I have the COA and the numbers match. It also comes with the original service book, handbook and window sticker. This car is not a restored trailer queen, but it does present itself very nicely and it is a great driver that you can enjoy while it appreciates in value. I am thinning the herd while I am waist deep in the restoration of my 59 356 cab. I have tried to represent this car as accurately as I can through my description and photos. Email any questions and happy bidding. On Feb-07-13 at 05:56:56 PST, seller added the following information: Please do not email me asking to buy the car offline. The auction will run it's course & the reserve is very realistic, so bid to win. It is a very good car at a fair price. Thank you. On Feb-08-13 at 12:22:53 PST, seller added the following information: The odometer reads 79k & I believe this to be correct although I can't swear that it is but the car is too nice for it to be 179k. The motor & trans were rebuilt by Mike Bruns who is a very well known guy here in Florida. I have been trying to reach him & the prior owner. I do not know the mileage since the rebuild or the specs, but the motor / trans are still clean, do not leak or smoke & function very well. The engine performs better than I would expect a 110hp motor to, so I suspect that it might have some head work &/ or cams. But, again, I make no promises. I expect to have firm answers to this before the close of auction. I posted some additional photos of the top of the engine (what you can see of it) and the original books & window sticker & keys. They are in the original Porsche+Audi pouch (not pictured). On Feb-09-13 at 06:18:56 PST, seller added the following information: Ebay is going through some sort of maintenance issues according to their bulletin board & will not let me upload any photos. I will get the additional photos up ASAP. Thanks. On Feb-10-13 at 11:10:57 PST, seller added the following information: Ebay is still having technical issues that prevent me from adding photos. I forgot that there is a fairly complete tool kit. The engine # is 6405550.
