Fuchs are NOT original to car. Shame about the rear fenders- looks like a good car otherwise.

Dash has been replaced, both upper and lower. Wood isn't correct on dash face. Pillar wasn't originally white, was black vinyl. Has that crappy aftermarket short shifter. Funky passenger outside mirror added. Nice that it has passenger footrest.
No sign of the jack, would be nice to see the tools.
The paint is probably as original as the wheels and dash.
Late rear bumper, Tornado mirrors.
Too bad the butchered the fenders to put the 7's on there.
For the right price it coud be sorted out.
Price??
Russ, I agree here with this assumption, and feel the market trend in Europe will eventually dictate value worldwide. Our really good cars remaining will definitely lead the price point......the rest is debatable.
There seems to be a glut of really bad cars here in America, with the majority of those not worth the time to repair. Alot of the lesser cars have still been retained by the groups of people who non chalantly drive them daily, everywhere, anytime, because they are now profiling in a Porsche. Thus resulting in further degradation and ruin of already suspect cars.
Maybe the true enthusiasts who have both teeners and early 911's will continue to influence the collectability, but I wonder how few of us are truly out there ?
Seems fewer every day.......and the rotting corpses continue to pile up each day it rains. Or snows.
Somewhat of a worthless option as I have never seen the need to use the one on our car.Quote:

Makes me think of that so in my mind a good option too..........
As to the washer system........saw one at an Auto swap meet in St. Cloud , Mn. about 20 years ago on a 2.0 litre - 4, that was for sale. I see why it was used, ......as it was from salt and snow country, and needed it apparently to clear the smurf off the lights. The car was sooooo very rusty, one could have folded the whole teener into a multi- layer package origami style, and carried it home under your arm. It was so reduced in weight, one could have seriously done just that.
I was intrigued by it, and it looked factory, but I never knew it was really real at the time. Twas the only thing worth saving off the hulk.....even the Fuchs were so corroded the aluminum had blisters the size of quarters rising up off the paddles. Holes in the body you could see the inner structure everywhere or what was left of that.....what a mess.
I should have taken pictures then and there, but didn't.......has anyone else had this option on their car or seen it in real life ?

Pelican Parts classified ad - White 914-6 sold fast (one day) ! He was asking 45K

That was quick. Once again, why did the silver ebay car only bid up to 42 last week?
Orginal silver cars are hard to come by. CERTAINLY a much better car than the white one.
Four of the six 914-6's that I have owned, including my current street car, have been Tangerine. Even though my race car is purposefully Tangerine (Brumos affection) I'm bored with this color. Silver would be a nice change for a street car but that's just me.
While I'm thinking about it: My dad had an Ivory car 25 years ago that had A/C- I would love to get my hands on this car if it were to ever be available.
