Not clear to me if Export56 sold it and new owner loaned it to Porsche GB or if the dealer loaned it and it is still for sale.
I honored my promise to Eric to give him first chance when I sold the car but he decided he didn't want it back. I then advertised it on TheSamba for $21K. I got a call from a guy in Great Britain the first day.
He asked for pics, then called to say he'd take it. Didn't even dicker on the price. A truck picked it up and it went to Long Beach and into a container bound for London. He told me about his business and I began to frequent his website (if you like vintage Porsches, take a gander at Export56.com). When he got the car his asking price was 33,000 pounds which was over $60,000 at that time (2006), $52,000 now. Answered my question as to why he didn't dicker and could afford to ship it to Great Britain!

Beautiful example. I wish it could have stayed in the states though.

Thanks Rob. I'm pretty proud frankly. To have my old car on loan to Porsche for their Silverstone exhibit... Wow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I was "basically" a one owner car when I got it.

It's really cool to be able to keep track of a car you sell. My old '79 911 is with a collector in Switzerland.

Hey Eric
VERY nice....and neat to see it again...in a museum no less. ( my old/former 914 would only be seen at the crusher...terminal rust)
Query
A member noted that my 6, just having been resprayed back to signal, has its' radio antenna on the passenger side..ie...the WRONG side.
Your old car has it on the same (passenger) side...
Any hint on your car came with the radio installed...and whether there is a right/wrong (as in correct/incorrect, as opposed to a right/left) side for instal
Again, VERY nice!

There is no right/wrong. They were dealer installed and the tech drilled wherever he chose. I'm told there may have been a few factory installed radios and if so,I suppose the side chosen by Stuttgart would be "right". If a member here has a cert. of authenticity showing a radio they could tell you where the antenna is located. It would be a rare car.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) hard to say.

On the right the antenna lead would be closer... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Was looking around the Porsche website. Found a pic of your 914 on their site. Heres the link- click through the pictures.

I've seen many factory installed radio's on early to mid 70's 911's and all had the antenna on the driver's side. TC's 914-6 COA shows a radio and the antenna hole is on the driver's side. My friend that worked for Porsche for 35 years told me the correct location is on the driver's side. I believe that when you see an early 911 or a 914 with the antenna on the passenger side, it was more often than not a post delivery non-Porsche installation.

Its also way easier for punk vandals to snap off while they walk down the sidewalk. In taller vehicles it's also a great overhanging-branch sensor but this doesn't affect 914's much...

I like them on the left. Wire is cheap and doesn't weigh that much... Passing the antenna lead behind the dash cluster makes it more likely to pick up interference but 914 radios are really only worth a damn when the car is parked anyway...
