Story I recall was it was owned by an attorney who had most of the work done. Seems as I recall it sell and being offered for sale a couple times more in the last couple years. Camp914 may know something about it.
Car looks very nice, hard to understand why it keeps showing up for sale. |

that car has the best sounding /6 motors I have ever heard on a street motor.......
last time it was for sale was by someone in the LA area I think....according to his ad, the car was just too much for him and he wanted something a little tamer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

If you won the lottery you could probably afford to upgrade every non-menbers', of the non-club, car to that level of DAMB (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shocked[1].gif)
Megamillions up to $265 million. |

Car looks very nice, hard to understand why it keeps showing up for sale. All the owners probably kept wetting themselves when they hit the gas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) |

btw - if I won the lottery I'd buy one of these two cars (or both of 'em (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) ) and give it to a specialist for a top level restoration (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I think that car was in a magazine that I have somewhere - could be Excellence or European Car. I'll see if I can find it.

It was in Excellence. I love this car and have seen it several times and even spoke to the original owner several times. He ended up with so much into it because he paid shops to do all the work. He also had bad luck with the first couple engines and then paid Jerry Woods to build the 3.8.
The owner told me that if he was going to do it over he do the car milder. He told it was too much race car and not enough of a street car for him. It seems to have traded hands in the low $30Ks each time. I honestly keep wondering why the various owners keep reselling it. My guess is that they aren't '914 guys' and then when the thrill is over they are ready to get out of it. |

I met the owner of that car, Mr. Ernie King, in 2002 at the Stanford Concors d'Elegance.
He had the car for sale at that point for a cool 50K. Very nice guy. Everything that was done to that car was top knotch. He also mentioned to me at that time he was taking the car to Jerry Woods to be tuned or something to get it just right. He apparently had the car many years (I'm thinking 10+ at least) and the car evolved into the current 3.8L engine. It was quite an impressive car but look like a race car and not something to drive on the street. |

I tried to buy the blue 916... Offered $60K I think... Went for well over $100K.
BTW, I DID win the lottery last night. Honestly! I won 3 out of 6 numbers. $4.50! I'm rich! I can buy 1.5 gallons of gas now! |

Why for sale? Maybe for a 50% profit, $30K to $45!
This car seems to prove once again, buy someone else's completed project if you are concerned about the "investment". |

Does anyone know what issue of Excellence it was in? I was searching back issues came up with November 2002 but I do not think this is the same car.
