^ that's Mark Skala's car, I'd assume he know the color.

I totally forgot about this event has happening this weekend! I'm SO pissed that I missed it. I would love to have seen that Ferrari first hand.... no wait, I meant 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

That car is jut too nice. I'd be afraid to drive it. I guess there is something to be said for driving a rat.

If that is a factory 914-6 with original color paint it is Adriatic blue, code 16. That pic doesn't do justice to the color. Saw one entered in the concours at PCA Parade in '02. It was beautiful.

That would be my guess, but your right, it doesn't look quite the same as I've seen in other pictures. Could just be the overcast day.

There's a winter's worth of dust on it, it's 35 year old chippy stuff,
and also the right rear quarter panel is a bit darker because it
appears the PO fixed a dent a long time ago. But it is adriatic.

Pics look awesome, sorry I missed it,

I'm going to look into the Rensport idea and if it works out, I'll let everyone know and see if we have interest..

Ok wait, I have a question, I thought ALL GT's came with Welded tops...
a couple of the pics that are labeled *GT* do NOT look like it has a welded top, or
even a top on it.

For instance, this picture here...

I don't know, I thought only the 916's had welded on tops? here is an original GT and it looks like the top is bolted on maybe??

Thanks Vortex, you're right, it IS the 916 and not the GT that has the welded on top.

Yes you are correct about the top being bolted on. I don't have a picture of it, but in Mark's photo album there were several close up shots of the tabs coming out from the windshield frame (in front) where the top bolted on. About a few of the prior comments, the car clearly was not finished when we saw it. Yes, the drive shafts and shift rod were not installed yet. In fact Mark continued to work on the car while we were there. This car was raced at Le Mans and the Nurburing (spelling?). Mark has pictures of the factory livery was raced in 1970 and that is how he has restored the car. The car did not have the 100 litre tank, etc. All in all, quite a piece of 914 history.

Mark purchased the car three years ago from a local porsche guy - Len Cummings - Len does business as Auto Sport Engineering. Apparantly he owned the car for sometime planning to restore it and never got around to it. So, as the saying goes, timing is everything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I think I'd have a constant erection if I owned a car that ran at LeMans :dhead:
