Searching for a 914-6 GT, Wondering what you guys thing of these Options

[Gridlock]

Hey Folks,

I'm looking for a nicely sorted 914-6 GT; would prefer an original 914-6 that was converted to GT 'status' as opposed to a converted 914-4. I want one that is street-able, and has either a 3.2 or 3.6 liter engine. In searches on the internet, I came across these two:

1)

I was wondering what you think about these, and which one would you buy and why. If you know of any other for sale, please let me know as well.

Thanks much in advance.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the offer! A couple of quick questions:

1) I don't see the video link you mentioned; did I miss it?
2) I'm curious why you are selling before completing it.

Just an FYI, one significant issue for me (aside from it not being completed), is that (although beautiful looking) comes with a carbureted rather than a FI engine.

The video link I was referring to has been taken down, unfortunately. It was posted by the seller on You Tube but basically showed how nice the work was that was done to the car.

I'm considering selling it because I basically have hit a wall with respect to completing the project and really need access to a hoist to install the engine and finish the rest of the project to the same level that the car has been constructed. I'm too old to work on my back anymore, or just really don't care to is probably more accurate.

I also have been enjoying spending my free time riding my cycle in the beautiful So Cal mountains and haven't been motivated to finish the car for some reason.

I actually pulled off the 30 year old fuel injection system so that I could intentionally install the Webers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Very expensive to do, BTW.

In my opinion there is nothing like the sound of a set of carbs open under acceleration and I don't mind occasionally fiddling with them if needed. If I ever go with a FI setup it will be with PMO or Jenvey throttle bodies, Electromotive controllers, crank fire ignition etc. and that gets very pricey.

PM me if you have any further interest

Good luck

Rob
