Hallo Jörg!
Herzlich Wilkommen ...

ich habe ein oder zwei fotos von dem wagen in schwarz/weiß, aber ich vermute mal daß du die schon hast. ich bin zur zeit unterwegs (http://www.914world.com/events/wcc2005/wcc2005.php) und habe keinen zugang zu meinem computer.

ich werde mal mein bilder-archiv durchwühlen, sobald ich nach hause komme ...
gruß, Andy

Are you sure that is real? I have never seen that before.

I could see a 914 as a pace car for the 24 hours in '71 but, the 500 is odd.

I don't think it would go fast enough to stick to the banking.

Can't top Andy's "Hallo Jörg! Herzlich Wilkommen ....."

But, it is good to have a another son of the father land.
Enjoy our crazy group of lovers of the 914.

Sure wish I paid more attention in the German class I took in high school.

I think he said he has a black and white photo of the car back on his computer but he's at WCC.

Doug... you need one of these in your Pace Car collection.

I took this picture in 1975 or 1976 at a IMSA Camel GT race at Pocono Speedway in Pennsylvania.

I stand corrected.

But I still think they were having a tough time staying up on the banking with two guys in a 1.7.

Not a problem staying on the banking....have done several laps of California Speedway with the teener and it sticks up high and dives in really

NICE

Middle car on the right in the group of 6 pics.. 5 bolt rivieras? Hubcaps? Never seen them before.

Posted by: smg914 Apr 21 2005, 12:49 PM

Paul,

The 1971 914 Daytona 500 Pace Car is a 914-6. The wheels on that car are the standard 5 lug steel wheel with hub caps. You can tell by the amount of holes in the wheel. The 4 lug wheels only had 8 holes and the 5 lug wheels has 10 holes.

They are hub caps. They were quite common in the early 70's.

Daytona banking is 31 degrees. It's like a wall when you stand at the bottom of it.

Also, those Daytona pace cars pictured above are not the same. One is painted for the 500 and the other is for the ARCA(?) 300.

Jorg,
i know where you get a '14 that was given to Mark Dono. when he won a can-am race if you're interested.

Most of us are aware of that car. I seem to remember the asking price was $45,000.

Posted by: maf914 Apr 21 2005, 02:20 PM

Okay, so Jorg owns the Official Daytona 914 Pacecar. I wonder how much it's worth?

WOT: The Alpenrose Velodrome in Portland has 43 degree banks. Riding on them is trippy! No stopping, at a bit below 10 mph you will slide off!

Would they let you have an autocross there?

Can't hurt to ask.

unfortunately no.

My car is only a 1973 2.0 4-Zylinder. But i think the colour ist same
I think about to give the car the same look as the Daytona 500 Pace Car

QUOTE (azbill @ Apr 21 2005, 06:57 AM)

Sure wish I paid more attention in the German class I took in high school.

And i missed some english lessons

@all

Thank you for the information, some colour pic´s would be great.
Or pic´s where i can see the labeling on front/rear hood.

thx

Jörg

Gustl,

Sometimes the price differences and exchange rates make no sense.

Look at the M.A. Scale website price list for item number 328. $42.50 versus EUR 65.00?

Posted by: Gustl Apr 22 2005, 03:42 PM

well, the difference isn't just the exchange rate

my link was from a european dealer, MA Scale is a US company, so there are shipping costs as well as customs duties ...

last week I got a rare Bandai motorized Porsche 914 kit (MIB) from a US eBay seller - $105 for the kit, $24 for insured shipping to Austria, $43 customs duty

WOW! What a cool thread. I was researching this very subject just a few months ago. Of course, I came up blank because my focus was trying to see if any pace car sites actually acknowledged the '71 /6 pace car.
