***SALE OF THE PROJECT PUT ON HOLD--GOING TO COMPLETE IT MYSELF (AFTER MUCH DELIBERATION)***Up for sale is my 1970 authentic Porsche 914-6 project waiting to be fully assembled. Body has been taken down to metal and any rust dealt with by a professional restoration shop. Car wears it's original Tangerine color. Good condition un-restored targa top is included but not pictured. Suspension, steering and brakes all fully restored. Included is an authentic 914-6 2.0L motor that is not original to the car. The motor has been fully rebuilt by Black Forest Racing and has new S cylinders and pistons and ported heads and original Weber carbs are rebuilt. Engine test ran and tuned on a bench to produce 175 hp with street torque. Brand new Dansk 914-6 heat exchangers have been ceramic jet coated and a new Dansk 914-6 muffler is included. A new clutch and pressure plate is mated to 0 time Patrick Motorsports rebuilt side shift transmission. New HP axles and CV joints are included. Not pictured is the original 914-6 steering wheel. A majority of the remaining parts are included and organized in bins.
I had just retired when I acquired the project and shortly after that a business that I had started took off and I simply don't have the time to push on with it. The project is offered at less than my investment at $54,000. If you would like a link to over 50 high res pics and a project summary sheet please PM me your email address. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Yes it is Tony's old project. It never had the matching engine.

Jet coated Dansk heat exchangers and PMB restored brakes. Another interesting factoid about the car is that a previous owner is legendary racer Max Crawford.

Wow! That is an incredible opportunity for someone who wants a real Six. Very nicely done and we have all seen the work Cracker does. I agree with Mark. GLWTS.

I agree with what others have said wrt this being an amazing opportunity to get a real “6” if one’s not hung up on an original engine. (I suspect the original engines are long gone from many 914/6’s by now, anyway.)
@tailwind22 : what documentation is there of Max Crawford’s former ownership? Who knows, this may help with the sale ... GLWTS ! |

“I got a large folder of receipts and documentation that included a photocopy of a previous title with Max's name as legal owner.”
That’s very cool, and can only enhance the value of your car in the eyes of a prospective buyer. Once again, GLWTS |
