I was working at the Zone 1 concours this past weekend. I was able to get a few pics of the car that won the 914 class. The owner is out of New Jersey. He bought the car new and has only put roughly 26K miles on it in the last 30 years.
Here are ome pics. BTW, the owner is fully aware that the Mahles are not correct for the year. But, they are what they car was delivered with from the dealer. Attached image(s)

Ahhh Dave's car. Absolutely amazing. Words can't describe how nice that car is.
Seen it last year at a local event. He usually shows his 911SC or Carrea, I forgot which model, but it has like 7K on the odometer. |

Now this is a REAL "purist" car. I would have loved to have seen more details. Maybe if he comes to Newport, RI for next years Zone 1 concours.
I'm also curious about those fuel line covers. OEM? Don |

My 914-6 sat next to his and I was falbergasted to receive a 297.3 score (including 10 points for driving 7 hours to the event plus the rally part of the weekend the day before). Without question the judges were kind to me on my first effort. I did figure out afterward that one of Dave's winning techniques was to hand out the Heinken to his competitor's while they attempted to prepare. <grin> |

Here's a pic of both Dave's and my 914-6. Dave is on the right with hat and glasses. He was muddering for some time about one of the judges finding a finger load of dirt in his engine compartment. Even more so after several others volunteered there digits to search for the hidden location of the dirt to no avail.
The judge was more than pleased to show the dirt to Dave with a grin on his face. <grin> I'm dam glad they judged my car first............ Attached thumbnail(s)

The cloth covered fuel lines were replaced by one of the recalls...HO(?), so trying to emulate the pre-recall condition, may not be the best idea, even for a concours car.

Have a friend named Jon Lowe ( I'm sure most of you know him) who has fingers that are AT LEAST 18 inches long! He found dirt on my car that no one human could find when he judged it. But he would always help me clean the spot afterrwards. What a great guy - what a tough judge! |

I agree. Pretty scary if they are 30 year old lines. I wonder if he knows?
(Unless he keeps them for concours display) Don |

I guarantee you that the cloth covered fuel lines on David's engine are not the original ones that were installed 30 years ago. He like me replaced the original fuel lines with the new cloth covers lines. I'm not worried about them and I'm sure David isn't either. My car is never exposed to inclimate weather and the engine never gets wet. I cover it with plastic if and when I wash the car. The car is kept in a climate controled garage. And I'm sure I'll replace the cloth covered lines again long before they become a fire hazzard.
