I've always liked the 914s, and a 914/6 was pretty cool. The tin worm did a much better job of recycling them, than any government funded plan could. hee hee. Friends of mine, bought one new, and used it seldom. The brakes and gaskets all required work, so a few years ago, they did a complete "freshening" of the car. Rebuilt engine and gearbox, painted the body, replaced the sills, etc. I questioned spending the type of money on it they did at the time, but as with all things in life, it's not always about the money. Seems the cars are going up in price, for good ones, so maybe they weren't so foolish in the end. Mind you, very few cars can be freshened or restored for financial gain. I have always felt, the best reason to spend the money on a restoration, was to turn the clock back, and enjoy the car for another 20 years. How can you put a price on that? ;-)
ps, I followed a new Panamera for 20 mins across the highway today. I'm a big Porsche fan, and while the car is comfortable to sit in, and I like the interior, it does have to be one of the most butt ugly cars from the outside! uggg Ed 300E On 20 April 2010 14:04, Alex Chamberlain <apchamberl...@gmail.com> wrote: > I knew of the existence of the 924S, but never have seen one in person or > even advertised for sale.
