I saw him running it at Hershey this year. It was a lot of beast to control and took a few laps before it would not end up sideways. Very nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hi Larry,
This looks great! How is the car from Predator different than yours? Also, any ideas on pricing from Predator? |

Is his son Randy driving the car at events? Randy Beck and Jeff Hayes are two of the best 914-6 drivers in the world. Jeff will be in the USA next month after spending 5 years down under. He is also the founder of STOPTECH. The 904 Beck project looks very cool.

Long time with no info. Good to see it is happening.
I passed on a 904 in 1970 for $6500 asking price. Had 6 cylinder engine presumably transplanted. Instead traded my 912 for my first 914-6. Haven't seen a 904 on the road since San Diego Parade in 1977. |

Any one have a guess at the price. Do they sell a turnkey or only as a roller?

Hi Larry, When I was in the Navy (1967) I could have bought a new one off the dealers floor for $10,000. I was making $150 a month! That sounds like a lot then but I was driving a 1962 356 S Cabro (wife's car) that cost $5600 new. Al

Found it. 5 page article on the Beck904 in August 05 Excellence. In the neighborhood of 50k for a rolling chassis.

I talked to him at Hershey.
50k, no motor or trans...all the rest is there. He has changed the chassis a bit, just enough to get a 6'4 person, 320 with helmet in and out of car... A lower floor and lower seat did the trick, so the car is the same shape. The sales guy was a big dude...and it wass important to make sure buyers would fit. The original 904 is built for a person under 5'8 Rich |
