914World.com _ 914World Garage _ What's in the Barn ?
Posted by: jwhcars Jun 13 2008, 11:55 AM
I was at Air Cooled Racing today and asked Steve "So when are you going to show me what's in the barn?"We walked out to the barn and he opened the door and let let me walk around in side.There are 14 914's a few 912's and a slope nose 911 plus a load of spare parts.Some of the teeners are covered and some are under cover of dust.All but three where running when he parked them in the barn.If someone wants a vintage race prepped 914 he just has them pick one out and builds it for them.One is a black six with only 1,800 miles on it that he bought new.This one his daughter will get when she has a garage to park it in.
I will have to go back sometime with a camera and pen and get serial numbers.
He also has at least four ather 914 race cars,356 cpe,356 speedster and a few more 911's.
What a great way to spend your retirement...turn your racing hobby into your retirement hobby .

Yes that is one of his cars and he made another one #18 to race because the #19 car's value is just getting to high should it get wrecked.

Please get VIN numbers for the VIN registry...

i think it's a car raced by Ralph Meany so it's a well known car and the VIN is probably in the registry. if you like the #19 car, you should see the story in 911 & Porsche World magazine about a 914/6 GT that raced in the Monte Carlo rally. it mentions its for sale for some 325,000 euros. good story. pic of car :
