This 1973 Porsche 914 was built in 2003 by Fordahl Motorsports, who is well known for their 914 6 cylinder conversions. I purchased it off of the person it was built for. The information below was provided to me by the previous owner and updated with a few items that I had done. I was also given the receipt from Fordahl for over $49,000 worth of upgrades and modifications from when the car was built, which did not include the cost of the original car. Now it can be purchased for a fraction of what it cost to build. asking $22,500 or best offer. It is located in the Detroit, Michigan area. The specs are as follows:
Body: Started with a rust free 1973 M474 fender flares in composite and flared rocker panels Painted Arctic Blue Fully welded chassis stiffening kit Front valence modified for oil cooler Rear valence modified for dual exhaust The finished product weighed 2,300 lbs Chassis, front: '89 911 hubs, vented rotors, bearings 22mm front hollow torsion bars Delrin front control arm bushings JRZ 12-way adjustable front struts (rebuilt in ‘08 by TCP Racing) Monoball upper strut mounts w/ camber plates TRG 24mm adj. front swaybar 12mm steering rack spacers 2003 Boxster monoblock calipers SS brake lines 19mm brake master cylinder Chassis, rear: Boxed rear control arms 225lb rear springs JRZ 12-way rear dampers on invert mounted custom hardware Modified stock rear swaybar 2003 Boxster monoblock calipers SS brake lines Engine: '85 Carrera 3.2 with new bearings, seals, rings, valves, valve guides, return tubes, valve grind, cams, fuel pressure regulator, cylinder head temperature sensor, estimated at 230-250 HP. Front mount 914/6 style 60 row auxiliary oil cooler and 3.2 oil cooler on engine Euro DME w/ performance chip (91 octane) K&N cone filter on adapter MSDS 1 5/8 headers, cermachrome coated and a Flowmaster Custom muffler, titanium coated Troutman oil cooler, thermostat 180 deg. Transmission: 915 gearbox rebuilt by Patrick Motorsports and installed in ‘07 Quaife Limited Slip Differential New bearings, synchros, sliders 915 WEVO Mid-engine Tail-shift System New Clutch & light weight flywheel in ‘07 Unsprung weight: Fikse FM10 forged modular 3pc wheels (9" x 17") 245/50ZR17 Hoosier R6 tires Interior: Ultra Shield race seats G-Force Pro Series racing harnesses (5 point) good through 2013 MOMO suede steering wheel Door panels recovered to RSR style Please call or email questions prior to bidding. Copies of receipts or additional pictures are available upon request. The mileage listed is the mileage showing on the speedometer and the actual mileage is unknown. The speedometer has not worked since the 915 transmission was installed. It would need an electronic speedometer installed instead of the current mechanical one in order for the speedometer to work. I believe that a 911SC speedometer will work. This car is a blast to drive and is street legal. The reason for selling this is that I have purchased a Cayman S to replace this as my track car. There are not any current issues with the car and pre-purchase inspections are welcomed at buyers expense. More pictures available upon request, just let me know what you'd like a picture of.

For any interested I have seen this car first hand and will vouch for the quality of the build. The car screams when the right driver is behind the wheel. I use to drool over this car back when it was in the NW.

You could tell you wife this will be your end all of the junk 914s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) . This is one of the nicest 914s I have ever laid eyes on and for those that have seen my car and all the other NW 914s that is saying something.

That's a lot of 914 for the money!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) Tom |

Nice car. It looks like it may have 16"s in the front and 17"s in the rear. Or is that just an illusion?
