A friend of mine owns a '75 911 Targa. When he got some engine problems last week he decided to give his money to the right guy - a well known Austrian specialist for Porsche technique (engine, tranny, brakes, ...). Only problem - this guy has his shop about 300 miles away (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
So he asked me if I would accompany him with a second car - sure I did (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) He gave me his daily driver (the BMW) and took the Porsche. We started early morning and had to use nice little (and twisty) roads ... Attached image(s) |

Actually, I had this discussion just yesterday with the owner of the local Porsche parts place. A few years ago, he saw a 71 1.7L 914 that had a FACTORY sportomatic. It was owned by Vasily Polak for years. Sat right next to the 917 longtail that bears the number 917 (from the FIA lineup photo). It's the only known factory 4 with a sporto.
The parts were designed and built, and are even listed on the PET CD. It used a VW automatic Stickshift flex plate on the back of the motor, and a 2 stage oil pump on the front to feed the tranny. He didn't have pix of the assembly, but he did have picts of the complete car. |
