Henry Schmidt's old race car

Posted by: dug Jul 19 2020, 09:52 PM

That's correct. I have a variety of old photos he gave me with the car that I will pass on the buyer, but it did not come with log books or a title. I removed the suspension and a few other parts it came with to use on my IMSA car restoration.

It was a very fast car between the massive tires, the wing and 2.8L six he had in it! I have too many project to keep it.

Pardon my lack of knowledge re: 914 race cars.
Is this car considered in any way "famous" or otherwise deserving of restoration or general preservation "as-raced"?

I could see this being an interesting starting point for a build I've been noodling on but I wouldn't want to do it to a chassis that has any sort of provenance.

Comments please.

Henry himself is well known as an engine builder.

but not as a famous race car driver
a lot of very cool builds, do not have provenance

this car would have some issues finding a place to run
svra would maybe accept it with a clear/smoked ginther screen
(good luck finding one)

it could run PCA

where did Henry run it at?

I would add it to pelicans cars for sale forum (if you haven’t already), mention Henry’s part and add the early pics.

POC....914 fron Hell....Henry's name of it..Call him Super Tech

Definitely no provenance of any kind without a logbook, it cant be grandfathered in as a vintage anything, and the cage would not pass tech in any current organization. The shell is not rusty, and the nose, flares and wing give it a cool look. The way he removed the rear bumper are and smoothed the rear floor, and widened the rear tail lights with the flares are some cool details. It would need a real proper cage built to go on track and everything else to make it run. The ginther screen was among the pieces I needed for my IMSA car.

Now if it was one of Henry’s old works Maico motor cross bikes it would have serious provenance
