Hello my 914 friends:
I was wondering if anyone knew the whereabouts of this 914 race car. It was built and raced by Altman racing the same people that built the Pontiac Racing GTU Fiero’s. As you can tell from the photos this 914 is very well built, the pictures are from Sebring 1987. In the mid 1990’s it came up for sale and at that time it was in Puerto Rico, it came with a lot of spares and two engines back then they were asking $20,000 (I wish I had $20,000 back then to spare) I know that ZOT’s Racing was interested in making it into a open-top IMSA/SportsCars racer, a rule and direction that endurance racing was going in at that time. Nothing happened and the car as far as I know fell of the map. I have no information on Altman Racing it wouild be great to get soem of there photos and history on this car. If anyone knows or has any more photos, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Quilmes Attached thumbnail(s) |

Was the car last seen in Florida? Was it painted Red after this picture? If so, I know where it was a couple of years ago. There was a guy by the name of Armand Pugh that had a shop in Cape Coral and he bought this car in Daytona (or that area). He had it in his shop for a long time and he would not sell it. Bob Snodgrass came down to buy it one time and Armand said no way. No telling what Brumos offered him.
Armand was an interesting guy (read that as asshole). He had a heart attack last year on I-4 and US27 and died in his truck. Now nobody knows what happened to the car. I would imagine that it was sold or given to someone to resolve a debt. When I last saw this car, 2002 or so, it was just a roller. But it was in good condition. Paul if you email me I will try to provide with you some more detailed info. Post some pics of the HSR weekend,please,please,please. |
