Nice. Looks just like the 914-6 that got me hooked. That one was black with the same stripe design. It was owned by Bob Zulkowsky of Metal Craft in the Hayward, CA area. Wonder if this is that car? GLWTS

IFAIK - there are two black 914-6's with that 'smoke' stripe. The one I know about and last saw in person ~1999 in Los Altos, CA., had a 2.7L engine installed (the original 2.0L built to 'S' specs was stored away). It's owner mentioned to me a few times there is a 'sister' car he had seen.

Hi, I am not sure thats Bob's car. The name sounds familier, I remember it somewhere in the paperwork of the vehicle but I have to look it up.
I bought it in Los Altos in 2007. It came with a 2.7l engine installed, but the original engine came with the car. I rebuilt the original engine again, it is in the car now. Anyhow, the S-spec were just the cams and the pistons.

Regards,
Jan

It is Bob's old car.
Found an old registration.

Would love to restore back to original color, but after two full restores I’m hesitant to do another and the out of country complexity makes it even harder.

I am so glad to see that Bob's car is still around. That car was absolutely spotless and beautiful when it was still relatively new. I do not recall if Bob bought it new, but it was rear-ended and Bob, who was one of the owners of Metal Craft, repaired it and color changed it to black with the smoke stripe. I loved that car.

Interesting. Now we have the full history. I am the 4th owner. Bob was the second owner, sold the car 1979, this buyer kept the car until 2007 when I bought it.
The repair is good, must have been only an minor damage. Explains why there is the German 914-6 badge on the car and a newer bumper on it.
Anyhow, with the new paint job the car got some attention, as I see here in the forum. The story goes that it once was recognized because of the paint by Ferry Porsche. Now there is his signature in the manual.
May keep the car now ...

I do not think the damage was really that serious. I remember Bob telling me the story that after the woman rear ended him he got out of the car and said, "Well lady, you sure could have picked a cheaper car to hit."

Bob's business partner, Troy Powell, had a '70 914-6 that was Metallic Blue with GT flares. It was also a spotless car. I do not know whatever happened to Troy or that 6.

True. When I was rear ended in my orange six many years ago at about 5 mph the SUV that hit me had a bent license plate - that's it. My 914 had $12k in repairs.
