So yesterday Rick Evans (2-Oh), Mike Dodgen (Mike D), Leaman, (Heeltoe) and myself participated in the TRE Motorsports Santa Monica Hills run. It was a great day. There were over 50 P-cars; 5 of which were 914's! Part of the adventure was stopping at Kundensport. There are some amazing cars in that place! They are in the process of restoring a 917. But, what I was most interested in was the very first production / demonstartor 914/6! This was the first 914/6 released in Europe as a "public demstrator" car. It is chassis #011. What a car! (BTW - they are planning on having it complete in time for the GAF in Ventura in September). The car was set up for local racing so it has GT rear calipers, early S front calipers and a front sway bar. Also, anyplace where the regular 914 was spot welded this had a total of 4 spot welds in the same area. They said it definately made the car stiffer when they had it on the chassis machine.
Here's a shot from the front. That's Mike Dodgen And Leaman standing next to it. Mike wore his glittler laced Piloti's just for the occasion.  Here's the dash. The car only has about 9000 kilometers on it.  And of course the engine. What also makes this car rare is that the numbers all match; case, engine # and all body badging.  Engine #  Like I mentioned they plan on having this car done for the GAF in ventura. It's ready to go back together. I look forward to seeing it again in one piece. Oh, and the owner of this car also has an original 914/6 GT that he is also planning on bringing to the GAF. |
