Hey guys,
I just wanted to share this beautiful 914 I stumbled across today. Nice photos and great Laguna video. Love the Mexico Blue.
(No affiliation - obviously, look at me)
Have a great weekend!

Nice to hear a modern 24h daytona class winner appreciate it

Thx for posting. Not a million miles way from my build, with the exception of THAT motor and - judging by the Laguna Seca video - some well selected ratios in the transmission. Be interesting to see what it fetches.

I'm also watching this one for the same reasons.
I have the similar motor, etc.
its a conversion car
its a race car
race cars normally bring a fraction of what they cost to build
this will be interesting to watch.

20 yr old vintage racer, nice and clean.HMSA....boxster cal. upgrade
[quote]@joshuafklassen84 it a race car. I’m sure you could make it street legal, but it won’t be much fun. Very fast revving, tight ratios and power all comes on at high rpm. My suggestion would be leave it on the track.[code]

Can somenone explain to me what this term
On bat means
" """This 914 race car is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a documentation binder, spares, and a California title."""""
Selling owner
Owner seller
Selling dealer etc .
Am i bat shit crazy but i thought the whole point is you are buying from the cars previous owner
When bidding on bat . not 2 , 3rd party car dealers/ sales person ?

It probably means that the current owner doesn't want to deal with the hassle of selling his car so he has hired a broker to do it for him.

BaT is Bring A Trailer....an auction website for anything that moves. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, airplanes, etc.
If you've never been on the site to look at what's up for auction, you're missing some really cool items.
Time to emerge from hibernation....
And yes, there are 3rd parties selling things on BaT for their clients.
Happens all the time.
It's a little like selling something on consignment...except it's an auction.
If you sell something on consignment, that's nothing but 3rd party.

Those build and maintenance receipts would make my wife faint !

They spent a lot money on this build. The extra thousand in the material cost of metal fenders seems like a weird way to cut costs, since it devalues the final product significantly
HMSA is not a fender banging club
I’ve raced with them

but rules are dif..and steel flairs were not that plentiful as they are now,, 2003 factory flares $2500, AA still not supplying $950
In 1994 I needed a left front GT fender $400 from the dealer

The shop where I used to work sells most ofl their medium and high end cars on BAT. The site is not limited to consumers.

almost up to 40K
seller said it was an aluminum case motor
so probably has that much into the LSD trans and motor parts/rebuild

OT. Side auction. 4 door Corvair bid at $110k+. A 4 door. I think we've seen it all now.
