How much did it sell for?

Posted by: seanery Oct 11 2004, 07:10 PM

...because I just fired up a computer that's been off for 2 years and had these on them.

Posted by: SirAndy Oct 11 2004, 07:16 PM

i like how the front spoiler actually fits with the flares, unlike the FG reproduction you can buy these days ...

That's so sexy.

"Damn you Porsche".
If you had made the 916 into one of your production vehicles instead of that 924, I might have one sitting in my garage tonight.

Oh well, I guess I will have to settle for my beat up 1973 conversion 914 GT Turbo Carrera kinda sort of never ending project clone thing..

Posted by: rick 918-S Oct 11 2004, 08:28 PM

Ya, and installed the 928 V8! The world would be a different place.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but, this car has the bottom metal trim for the sail panel vinyl. Seems odd they added this item if they weren't going to put the vinyl on the car. Was this normal for the 916?

Posted by: smg914 Oct 11 2004, 10:15 PM

I believe most of the 916's had that chrome strip at the bottom of the sail panel. The factory must of thought it dressed the car up a little even without the vinyl.

Very nice.... and only 2,100 miles.

Posted by: thesey914 Oct 12 2004, 03:04 AM

wonder why the drivers door card has an elasticated door pocket and handle and the passengers is more 911?
Inside you can clearly see the windscreen mounted ariel/antenna.

To me...that's a crying shame....go drive the damn thing......

Posted by: mike_the_man Oct 12 2004, 09:33 AM

That car stinks... cause it's the shit! I love it!

Posted by: DNHunt Oct 12 2004, 09:57 AM

Ya gotta love that car. It's certainly the next derivative of the cars we drive and love. One can only imagine.

As it all played out, you have to wonder if Porsche made the right choice in dropping the 916 and then the 914. Certainly, at this point in time with Porsche financially sound I think it was the right choice. The 914, 916 would have led to divided loyalties and Porsche would have had a tough time developing both. They undoubtedly have to be the world's best car company at milking a basic design with the 911. As much as I would love to have a 914x that was more refined by the factory, as a business decision I believe they did the right thing. Maybe there's a passle of 916s in heaven.

I think I'll add that to my evening prayers

I did some 916 research a while ago
it's really difficult, find out details about theese rare cars

at the moment I'm in some discussions that may lead to more infos
my current state of info is shown at http://www.oct.at/wos/916/916Liste.htm

maybe anyone knows more about locations, owners, ...

So long,
Gustl

Gustl,

Do you have any pics of your Ravenna with tan interior to post? I've not seen that color combo before - always black with Ravenna around here.
I checked out your link, but didn't see any finished interior shots.

Enjoy!

Posted by: Gustl Oct 12 2004, 04:12 PM

does anybody knows for sure, if the silver/red car is VIN 9142330015 or 9142330020

does anybode knows for sure, why the black one (VIN 9142330013 - original colour viper green) has got side spots? VIN 9142330012 was the only factory built 916 for the USA (now George Hussey's car)

does anybody knows for sure if the white one at the above pic is VIN 9141430195 (original colour black, but now white) or VIN 9142330019

thanks for any new info

So long,
Gustl

Posted by: Gustl Oct 12 2004, 04:17 PM

sure, look at http://www.914freunde.de/images/Freunde/Scheicher/Mein%20914er.JPG

looks a little dark at this pic, but it's really tan

So long,
Gustl

can you believe people are doing color changes on 916's!? when will the 914 madness ever end???

Posted by: ArtechnikA Oct 12 2004, 04:21 PM

some people believe it's just a car ...

Posted by: smg914 Oct 12 2004, 05:12 PM

9142330013 - has the side marker lenses because someone added them. You can tell because they are not in the correct location for a USA car with GT flares. They are in the correct location on the silver VIN 9142330012 car. Can you see the difference?

o.k. - the I can see the difference
but I wonder, why?
o.k. - I wonder why anybody sprays this car black instead of the original viper green, too

maybe anyone knows what happend to VIN 9142330015 ??
there's a rumor that this car's crashed early and never repaired / build up again ??

So long,
Gustl
