UPDATE 3-13-15 - Car has been sold pending payments. Engine going to one of our own in SoCal, Chassis going to Las Vegas where a 2.7L engine is waiting for it! The highest and best purpose for this car at this point, I think!! Thanks all - only took 6,400 page views to get sold!! (Is that a record??)

UPDATE 2-27-15 - Car is back up and available as my most recent buyer had to drop out due to personal reasons, not related to this car!! I continue to get offers on the drive train (which is a sweet package, gotta say!) but I'd rather sell this complete, or drop in a -6cyl and ship the 2.0L to my engine buyer in SoCal. His details are contained in this thread - and if you are looking for a solid chassis, he wants this engine badly!! Doing some paint work and beautification on the panels - will post up some new pix in a bit - the better this gets the higher the price, just sayin!

UPDATE 2-14-15 - My engine buyer for the 2.0L is eager, and so I've been investigating doing either the -6cyl Porsche or a SUBY turbo upgrade to the power plant. Or I'd just sell the tub and you can build it from there - - - or we can agree on your goals and do this together. Bottom line - this is a sweet ride that has everything done to it that you would do for a serious HP increase....let's discuss?? td

UPDATE 1-16-15 I have a well sorted 1971 914 that has a 2.0L 4-cyl in it now - the engine has sold and I'm going to be dropping in a -6cyl Porsche engine. When completed, this will be a $30k+ car.....I'll manage the project and we'll build this to our agreed upon specifications. I have a line on a good 2.7L engine, but there are lots of options. If you have always wanted a 914-6, but don't have time to do the build yourself, this is an excellent opportunity. $12k due now, $8k when the build is completed. Let's talk! td

HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS BUILD:
-new brakes all around
-cross drilled rotors
-new master cylinder
-stainless brake lines
-stainless fuel tubes thru the tunnel
-4 new fuel injectors - nearly unobtanium!
-turbo tie rods
-front sway bar
-rear sway bar
-carbon fiber front hood
-f'glass rear hood
-f'glass GT flares
-916 f'glass front and rear bumpers
-harness bar
-race harnesses
-side shift trans - no issues
-drilled for 5 lug, 5x130
-17" 10 spoke wheels w/ conti pro contact tires - 50% tread left
-momo short shifter
-new shift bushings / linkage
-13.5" wheel

I'm putting the interior back in the car now - and doing some little upgrades along the way! Price will go up to reflect....

ORIGINAL AD BELOW -

Purchased from McMark (Original Customs, Sonoma, CA) who has performed a bunch of the work on this -

Race prepped, street legal 914 with an upgraded 2.0L Fuel Injected engine. Built with autocross and the big track in mind, considerable care and thought have gone into making this street legal race car safe and servicable. Used as a daily driver, the build sheet includes: cross drilled rotors, 5 lug hubs, all new brake calipers, brake lines and master cylinder, stainless steel fuel lines thru the tunnel, new fuel lines in engine bay, all new 2.0L injectors, new air filter.

In racing - every 10lbs or weight reduced is the equivalent of an increase of 1 bhp and so, this car has been on a major diet! Fiberglass front and rear 916 bumpers, f'glass rear deck lid with aggressive ducktail / spoiler. GT engine bay lid (delete sheet metal, open up the air flow, reduce weight). Carbon fibre front hood = huge weight savings!! Fiberglass GT fender flares all around - cut away sheet metal beneath for ease of access, weight reduction. Front flares are riveted onto the tub, rears are quick release Dzus connectors for easy access. Eliminated front hood springs, Engine lid torsion bars, rear hood torsion bars - have NASCAR hood brackets for front and rear but have not installed yet. Estimated weight savings ~300 lbs.

Running KYB gas struts in front (new, 1 yr old) and KYB shocks with oversized springs in the rear. Have stock springs and Bilsteins that will be included in spare parts. Front and rear sway bars. Turbo Tie-rods. The steering is tight!! Recently updated the bushings in the shift linkage - awesome upgrade - to the side shift trans.

The 1971 tub is a lighter tub than later model years, and this is a relatively rust-free example. The major rust areas are fine (hell hole, longitudes, front trunk 'firewall') but there is some surface rust in the front trunk floor and the rear trunk floor has some holes (lighter!). Rear trunk floor is an easy fix.

Engine is from a 1976 2.0L that was wrapped around a tree. Smog stuff removed, fuel injection system intact and it is an awesome engine! Pulls strong - no smoke, no leaks. This is paired with a 1973 side shift trans - also in excellent shape. Synchro's all excellent, smooth shifting. Sitting atop 17" 'ten spoke" Porsche wheels with center caps. The 10-spoke wheel is the lightest wheel ever offered by Porsche, tires are sticky Continental Conti-ProContacts with good tread remaining. 255/40 in the rear, 205/50 on the front. I have a spare set of 16" wheels and tires available as well.

Spares consist of 2.0L EMPI(? will verify) exhaust (has 1.7/1.8 heat exchangers and 1.8L monza on it now), metal front hood, metal front bumper, bilstein rear shocks and stock springs, center console gauge panel w/ gauges, tach, speedo, MOMO wheel (need early hub), spare early stock steering hub, orange vinyl, carbon fibre vinyl, various bits and pieces.

This is a great starting place for a full track conversion, or a devastating auto-cross / daily driver (mechanicals are there already!). email tadink <at> yahoo.com for more info - or PM me here!

Email for more pix - whatever you want!

I hate you for putting this up for sale now......when I definitely have no budget and will never get a chance like this again......

Posted by: tadink Dec 9 2014, 11:52 AM

LOL - yah, sorry about the timing!! I really hate to put this up for sale after spending so long getting her to where she is - but I've got one tooooo many P-cars in the herd right now and 'she who must be obeyed' wants one less! sigh. Makes a great Christmas present for someone!! TD

Posted by: tadink Jan 14 2015, 06:56 PM

Bump to the top - This car is seriously for sale and no reasonable offer will be refused.

Lots of options here - take the roller for $5k, take it with the 2.0L for $7500, let's build a higher HP for ???

thx

Posted by: type47fan Feb 15 2015, 09:11 PM

Come on, guys. Someone take Tom's roller for $5K. Put in a 6 cylinder, another type 4 engine, or convert to Suby or LS V8!

I need his '76 California correct emissions engine for my '76 California based 914 below.

Send me a PM to co-ordinate a purchase from Tom that gets you the chassis and me the engine.

Love the car and the potential it holds.

Posted by: 2mAn Feb 16 2015, 02:00 AM

exactly what Im thinking.

Any idea how much it weighs after the diet?

Posted by: tadink Feb 16 2015, 11:26 AM

Thanks for the kind words you guys - the car is awesome!!

re: weight 'post diet' -

The CF front hood is super light, easily a savings of some 30lbs over the stock hood, ditto the rear deck. Not so much savings in the GT engine cover, but some. The sheet metal is gone behind the glass flares, but I was surprised that it did not total up to that much - maybe 40lbs total?

Front and rear bumpers are significant weight savings - those stock bumpers are really heavy!!

And then there is all the little stuff that adds up pretty fast: front hood springs, rear engine torsion springs, rear deck torsion springs, sound padding under the carpets, sound padding engine bay, etc etc etc.

The 10-spoke wheels are the lightest made by Porsche....

At one point I was guessing she was 300lbs lighter all in? Might be a little bit aggressive, but that is the relevant range I think.

Showing the car on TUES afternoon to a local guy....have some interest from my CL LA post....and the usual set of bottom feeders are circling as well.....I'd sure like to get this gone this week!!!

And this is what should be dropped into my chassis - from a Pelican advert that posted this morning:

Just removed from a record setting 67S. Mag 2.7 with 2.7 RS pistons and cylinders, S cams, Weber 40s, ARP rod bolts, George's headers with megaphones, and aluminum flywheel, No leaks or smoke. Runs really well. I removed it to be replaced with a proper 2.0 aluminum engine for vintage. This is truly a plug in and go. The engine was used in Legendary Mike Hammond's 67S. This engine was used for time trials and last raced in September. Last record was set last April. It would be great for the track or the street. Price is $13,500 for this complete good running 200+ hp engine. Please contact me directly to discuss DAhearn67@gmail.com 631 786 6511 Thanks.

Has it sold yet.

Posted by: tadink Feb 18 2015, 11:00 AM

I'll update this post when it is sold - still available at this point - I drove an hour each way yesterday to show the car to a potential buyer and am tempted to take her off the market and just enjoy another AX season with it!! I've worked for 3+ years to get to this point - and she is driving so sweetly!! No rattles, no shimmy, no 'looseness', just pure, tight, taut, and solid!

<<AND THE HEATER WORKS, I *LOVE* THE HEATER!!>>

Anyone interested in the chassis only?

If so, PM me and we might work something out as a team purchase.



..... the car is VERY cool. I saw it in person. I just have a car too similar. But I am interested in the drivetrain.

Posted by: type47fan Feb 22 2015, 02:50 PM

Tom, PM sent.

Thanks,

Posted by: tadink Feb 26 2015, 07:34 PM

and bumperoo back to the top -

2-24-15 UPDATE - My cash buyer in PDX has dropped out for personal reasons not related to the car.

Here's some weight data - front 916 bumper 12lbs, rear deck lid with ducktail 18lbs.....compare that to the massively heavy chrome bumpers and steel deck lid!!

Doing some cosmetical upgrading now - will post new pix when back together....price will be adjusted UP when completed.
