Looks like it was Adriatic to start with. I haven't seen this before, so sorry if it is a repost...looks like it just went up.

Original 914/6 Sportomatic gearbox. This is one of two known 914/6 Sportomatic Prototypes. This one is also mentioned in WIKIPEDIA with the chassis no. 914 120. The Porsche has got lots of prototype parts, which are different in the series. The Porsche first was used from the Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche AG for tests and later it was bought from an ingenieur of Porsche. This Porsche was only running until 20.08.1979 and was then standing by a collector. The Porsche has to be restored, it is partially disassembled. |

I had a '70E Sporto for 5 years. Never understood why that configuration didnt take.
Loved it. Easy to drive in traffic, yet as aggressive as you wish for spirited driving. Made apretty good auto-x car too. Just don't rest your hand one the shifter! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) A Sporto with MFI driven properly is a thing of pure joy. Properly tuned it's quicker than an equal S in some situations. For sure, motoring media didn't help sell it, and many people still think it's an automatic (real-men-drive-manuals). Or believe it's prone to failure... which it's not. Most techs hated them because they can be fiddly to set up but it's really not that complicated. Though nowadays, some parts ARE getting hard to source. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) We really love ours. After the T passed 200,000 miles we did a bare tub resto. We've had it 8 years now, a great car driven regularly. Give it the boot and enjoy: the torque converter effectively doubles available grunt when it spools up. The S is due for resto after a couple of other projects are done. Anyway, they didn't build many but this 914-6 has languished too long because of "prototype status" price, not the Sportomatic. It'd be getting the attention it deserves if the seller would consider $15K less. |
