Bowlsby,
Do you have a special 914 search engine just for 914 stuff?

If Jimmy Hoffa was buried in a 914, you'd find it.

What is up with the rear sway bar running IN the trunk instead of UNDER the trunk?

Posted by: redshift Aug 28 2003, 07:49 PM

It looks like a stock bar adapted to a very trick rearend... like it won't fit under there.. look at that frikken rubber.

I imagine the arms are moved in, and looks like up.

Some cars have problems with the rear sway bar bottoming out on the trunk. Mounting it in the trunk eliminates that problem and also makes it easier to adjust.

Drew nailed it. A stock 914 with a stock rear bar will hit the chassis. Look under your car (if you still have the stock bar).. look directly above the drop links at the bottom of the trunk. You'll see small round dents. Promise.

Is it worth sandwiching some high density foam between the bar and the trunk?

Posted by: Brad Roberts Aug 28 2003, 11:42 PM

So the bar can bottom out sooner and spin your car out when it goes into bind ??

No. LOL

from what i can tell (and read) it's a REAL GT with documented racing history ...

60k Euro = $60k

not too bad

Shouldn’t a “real GT” have the 100 Liter fuel tank which required the front to be cut, and some reinforcement for the front struts welded into the fender wells? I would think that the owner of such a car would know how much they are worth, but than again $60K is no drop in the bucket. Porsche did release a large number of GT conversion kits intended for racing so who knows.

i need a third job.


is that a bag of rat food in the front trunk pix? thanks for posting. itsaniceun.

Looks nice. Add another 5k to ship it over and it still would still probably be cheaper to buy it than the one I found .

Posted by: Dave_Darling Aug 30 2003, 02:56 PM

Nope. Not all of them had either one. Some people do indeed contend that "no 100L tank == not real GT", but Kerry Morse has documents of factory GT cars that only had the standard 60L tank. I recall a letter or sidebar or some such that he wrote to Panorama a couple of years ago on this subject.

So….. if many of the GTs are simply regular cars that were retrofitted with the factory GT kit, then a GT is really only the sum if it's parts? That would make it difficult to put a price on a GT then wouldn’t it? Of course cars with well-documented racing history would be easier to verify and much more in demand I would think. Is there a way to track which GTs were actually factory cars as opposed to retrofits? Either way it’s interesting and it makes you wonder where you draw the line between being a GT a Clone or just a modified car. In a way, any well prepared race trim 914-6 could be considered a GT, at least in spirit.

Posted by: Dave_Darling Aug 30 2003, 07:32 PM

Morse had a list of 17 (?) GTs that were converted by the factory. If this is one of those, it's worth more than an owner conversion. If it is a post-factory conversion, but has a real racing history, it's worth more than a run-of-the-mill conversion.

Conversions done using all real parts are worth something, but generally less than the sum of the parts. Just ask our own GT builder about how much the real parts cost nowadays...
