Saw that. It would be neat if it came back to Colorado.

Grady was a great man, glad I got to share time on this earth with him.

Does anyone have the link for this?

Thanks for sharing the picture Michael...

We really had a great time when he visited our shop and we got to go visit a local collectors "classic Porsche museum" and have a beer or two together.

A man that was a wikipedia of Porsche knowledge and always willing to share it with others...

Very cool. Sold Grady a 912 a few years before he passed. It was Litterly shedding rust on my garage floor. I knew he was in bad health as we talked for hours. He was a good man.. Wonder what happend to the 912 now..

Neat poster. Takes me back a while as I used to own 756-1001 and my very good friend Dan had one of the 904's. I forget his serial number. Those could have been our cars in that poster. Thanks for posting it and I hope Grady's car winds up back here!! Ron Anthony in MD

The 904 was Grady’s and the Abarth was Dr. Jackson’s

2004 pelican parts 9140430220 bought for $300



What to do?
I am unsure as to what I should do with the 914/6 that I purchased for a good price last week, and I am seeking the wisdom and knowledge of the members of this forum. I have a couple different options available to me. The first is to keep it and restore it, which I would love to do, but do not have the time nor the resources ($$$). The second option that I can see is to sell it as is and make a decent profit. The third choice is to take the parts that I need, part out the rest, and sell the body. Finally the last option is to take what I need, part out the rest, and send the body to the crusher (which I would hate to do).

Of these four options I think I am leaning more towards option three, take what I need (suspension, sway bars, oil tank, oil cooler, fuel cell and a few little things), and then sell the body/parts. I know I may hate myself for letting a real six go, but I just don't have the time, money, or space to keep it and restore it.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Ferg do you know MLedesma he can fill in the blanks

Posted by: Ferg Aug 10 2018, 03:32 PM

I don't recognize that user name, but I do remember a 914 dude in Elizabeth. I wonder if Ross knows, he used to live right by in Castle Rock.

Posted by: MLedesma Aug 10 2018, 05:29 PM

I am that guy in Elizabeth. Sold it to a guy in Nederland about 2 years ago. He had bought most of Grady's parts after he passed. Which included the engine and transmission for this car. I have tons of pictures from when I was the steward of 9140430220.

Ferg,

We met a few years back at the transmission clinic Dr. Evil did in Denver. I shared a table with Ross.

I will try and fill in some of the gaps. I have been meaning to post about this car for a long time now.
