Besides Revell supposedly coming out with a composite model of the 914, AutoArt has several colors of the 914/6 WITH FLARES set for release in 2010!!!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.volksbraggin.com-10419-1269309542.1.jpg)

CLICK HERE for website where I found info.

Or GO TO THIS PAGE to see list of colors (scroll down a bit or search 914)
Green, orange, red, gemini blue metallic, saturn yellow, and orange. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Of course, AutoArt models aren't cheap but they sure are nice.

Not to put the pin in the balloon but . . . those Autoart 'future release' 914-6 models have been coming out in 2006, 2007, 2008 then it was fall of '09 now 2010.

Same with that supposed Revell kit.

When they come out, I'll buy for sure - Autoart make great scale models. But until I see them on Autoart's site I've given up believing they even intend on making them. I hope I'm wrong.

Michael,

I guess you're right. I checked the Autoart site and although they list some cars for preorder there is no 914 to be found. I agree with you regarding Autoart quality, very good.

One car listed for preorder caught my eye, though, the 311 Datsun 2000 roadster. I always wanted one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I'm not sure how they decide on which models go into production and when but Autoart did a release 5-6-7 years ago and which had these 914-6 GT models listed as a future release. Ever since then the retailers who sell them just keep updating it every year as a 'future release' even though AA has made no further mention of them.

The one hopeful sign is the '73 911 RS models where suffering the same fate for nearly as long and now they are on the shelves (and nice!) as of late last year. So hopefully they will get around to the GTs.
The RS models come in all the usual colour combinations - I like this one

Looks like AutoArt is showing off prereleases of a standard body 914 1/2 down on the page for 2011release.

AutoArt Orange 914/6

The complete 2011 list for AutoArt is on this page:

Complete list

They still have the flared 6 on the list as well.

Fingers crossed! AutoArt makes nice stuff.

That's looking good! I went on AutoArt's site and although they have no pics in the coming soon section, the various 914 models are now listed in their product list.

So after about 7 years . . maybe they are finally doing it. Hope so - based on their other stuff this would be far superior to the 1:18 Revell

"The only people I ever knew who drove 914s were weird guys who still lived at home with their mother and couldn't afford a real Porsche. I don't dislike them, but they're in the same category as a Boxster to me. I guess it would be nice to add to a Porsche collection, but a 914 doesn't intrigue me much at all."



The above is a comment from the 914 bashers on the autoart orange 914/6 link... ....good...don't buy a 914....that's more for us..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Would like to take them around a track lap or two and make them soil their pants.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Now...let's all move out from our mom's house and get a life..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

I guess that one guy thinks that a 914-6 has a VW motor in it.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) My rocker covers have PORSCHE written on them.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I had a 1966 1600 Datsun Roadster through high school and college. Fun car. Absolutely impossible to get parts for, and the factory kept horrible records as to what was right for a particular year/SN. The car had a mix of metric and imperial hardware, so you never knew what wrench to reach for... Still, it was fantastic fun, and I miss mine dearly!

Of course, now I have the car I really wanted at the time, our beloved 914!
