Looking for a little bit of history on this car. I bought it a couple years ago. It had been sitting (badly) and needed considerable work.
From what I can gather from the log books it was built in or around 1978 in Ohio and raced in the midwest - primarily Ohio. Since then it's had at least 2 other owners besides me. The car ( & me) are currently in Oregon. I'm not sure who brought it here. cage has been modified since these photos, the suspension upgraded to 5 lug and the original 2.0 has either been worked into what's in it now, or long gone. I think I may have a lead on the original owner / builder but not positive. Many thanks for any info.  |

After hitting every possible snag, snafu and hiccup my 914 is finally getting within spitting distance of a racetrack. I have a few remaining tasks and a racin' we go. Next weekend for that matter. What an ordeal it has been..
