I'm selling my '74 six conversion. It is as rust free as they come. Here are the basics. Anyone wanting a detailed spec sheet can email me at: jt9146@aristotle.net.
3.0L six with Cosworth pistons, early "S" cams, Webers. Built on a 930/68 3.3Turbo case. RJ engine mount, MSD igniton, & European Racing headers Jet Hot coated. Patrick Motorsports aluminium oil tank, Earl's 60 row front cooler. Side shift tranny with factory 914-6 gears, Quafe diff.

Rear trailing arm kit, C2 Turbo calipers & frozen Carrera rotors, roller bearing bushings, Koni adjustable shocks with adjustable collars & 200 lb. springs. Steel flares, GT stiffening kit in rear, Brad Mayer longitudinal kit, heim joint rear toe kit, full roll cage, front & rear stiffened, OMP sport seats with six point harness, Momo Prototipo quick release steering wheel, flaired rocker panels, FG rear deck lid with spoiler, GT rear bumper, IMSA front bumper, euro lenes, Polished 7 & 8 X 15" Fuchs. Lots more. The car is Porsche color Ocean Blue Metallic (3 AY).This car is street legal and was built to do DE's. Depending on how you drive this car gets between 17 & 24 MPG. I'm selling it to get another car with "creature comforts."

For $27K you can have it, spares and two sets of track wheels/tires. One set of 7 & 8" Fuchs wheels with 225/50/15 BFG g-force R1 tires about half used. One set of 7 & 8" BBS RA wheels with 225/50/15 Yokohama Advan A048 tires with four DE runs on them. Email me to the address above for questions. Serious buyers only. The price is firm.

Don't pass this one by. I have always liked this car

if I bought it, it would make up for my huge FAILURE when I didn't buy your car (I think about that at least twice a week,,, irritated at myself).
I did email him asking for inside photos of the rollcage, etc... I told him honestly I don't know if I am truly "serious" since my wife has the ability to neuter.. umm, I mean veto any decision of mine. But ....
I am going to beg tonight... I will come home drunk and ready to put out and do it like I never done it before hoping she tells me "ok, fly out there with the checkbook and look at it!"

I have drooled over this car for the last couple of years at the MUSRs and if there were any way I could possibly purchase this car I would. It is by far the nicest 914 I have ever seen. Maybe whoever gets this car can store it for a couple of years until I can come up with the money.

From personal experience, don't pass on something you really have your mind set on. I'm haunted weekly by one I missed last fall.
Posted by: jt914-6 May 25 2011, 01:48 AM
A little tease.....She looks right at home at the track right??? Note two sets of track wheels/tires...Great deal for only $2K more.....hell the yoko's cost $1K and they have four sessions on them and that was in rainy conditions...

Better yet, have your wife look at it and then send a deposit

Congratulations and best wishes. How much fun is that????
Posted by: jt914-6 Jun 5 2011, 07:51 AM
Going to pick up Steve in a few. He gets to see his new ride and drive it. He'll also experience what heat and humidity is like down here in the south. Heat index of over 100 today. Will take him back to the airport later this afternoon....
Posted by: Dirty Evo Jun 5 2011, 01:59 PM
Loved it. The car. Not so in love with southern humidity though. Got to meet my first true southern belle. Holy crap. Beautiful juicy white meat. About the car its pretty awesome. Feel bad for the rest of you that didn't buy it! Probably will sell my cayman and e30 bmw race car as this car fits a perfect niche (for me) right between them. Has the power and speed of the cayman and the mid engine and "porscheness" and the raw, gritty, tough feel that me e30 gives me. With a touch of classic / nostalgia that neither my e30 or the cayman has. So probably sell both of them and get a comfy cheeapy daily driver and the 914 will be my track car / backroad burner when I need the fix. Loved the car and thank you JT for the hospitality, was a great drive and damn that car is tight. Not a squeak or rattle. Tightest car I have ever driven. Great build! Waiting at the airport now on my way home. Anybody want a 2008 cayman s? Email me!

Posted by: jt914-6 Jun 13 2011, 08:10 PM
Got a call from the truck driver this afternoon and he had just unloaded the 914-6 and Steve (Dirty Evo) was warming it up. Haven't heard from yet....he must be enjoying it too much....
Posted by: Dirty Evo Jun 13 2011, 08:13 PM
its home and parked in the garage. I have house guest from overseas so I can't really spend the evening playing, but my dad is already on it, out there in the shop fiddling with it.... Had fun driving it home, took it on some back roads on the way home. SURE WAS FUN. And it looked NICE coming off the truck. I am going to post some photos in separate thread in a couple days ! JT, I will email you tmw, have a couple quick questions.

I'm guessing he neglected to tell you he got left behind chasing me down 298 with me driving my tired old Bumble Bee. Blamed it on his passenger's motion sickness. Witnesses say he couldn't have caught me if he wanted too. 
Don't worry Evo, I am sure it was his driving and not the car. The car is awesome. I hope he took you down 298 while you were there, one sweet raod to drive.
Congrats on purchasing an awesome ride!
