Supposedly a dealer show car that has been raced in the US since 1969? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
QUOTE 1969 Porsche 914/14 SCCA news, pictures, and information One of the very first 914's into the U.S. Was Jo Hoppen's demo car for dealers. Has been a race car since that first year.

Very famous east coast 914. Les Henley has taken it to the SCCA Runoffs forever. I'm sure RacerChris know him well.

QUOTE(URY914 @ Dec 11 2009, 07:55 PM)  Very famous east coast 914. Les Henley has taken it to the SCCA Runoffs forever. I'm sure RacerChris know him well. I know Les pretty well. Last time I talked with him was at Hershey in April. He had the only FP 914 at the Runoffs this year and his car was in the intro footage on all the Speedcast Runoffs videos from this year. He says the car was never sold to a customer and registered for the street. It has been a race car pretty much as long as it has been in the US. He is a good driver and the car is pretty well prepared, but is somewhat outdated by current SCCA Production preparation standards. It would be a very good vintage/historic car. The engine in the white car I prepared this year was originally built by Les. It runs well and makes an estimated 160+ hp, although I know he runs more powerful engines in his car at Nationals and Runoffs. The green car in the photos belongs to Steve Limbert of Aircooled Racing in PA. AFAIK its a repro, not an original factory GT car. |
