One source for the 1/43 scale 914 Pickup is Grand Prix Models in England. Check the following link for their 914 models and kits.

http://www.grandprixmodels.com/searchresul...cial=&back=

If the link doesn't work try the home link and search for Porsche 914 and Porsche 916.

http://www.grandprixmodels.com/

It appears from the listings that Minichamps intends to issue several new 914 and 916 die-cast models this year. There is a Bumblebee by Schuco for the LE fans. The kits by Mini Racing are pretty good. I have a few of these including the 916.

Minichamps has been saying that for years now, I have been waiting since 2008 for them to release their 914/6 and 916 cars and they keep delaying them every few months by a couple more months for the last 3 to 4 years. They do make really nice cars. I wish Ebbro made 914 cars, that would be awesome !

Did Porsche ever make a 914 pick up truck? Maybe they should have like VW did with their rabbits. I used to love those old pick up trucks. I remember seeing a 914 pick up somewhere in an old issue of VW and Porsche magazine many many years ago (now known as European car)

A Fabricator in Southern California made them as far as I know - Dick Troutman.

This might be the magazine you remember? It is the 4lug/4cyl version. I don't think I like those Opel GT tailights though....

The /6 was also featured in Porsche Classics Magazine - not sure what year.

Well - you won't see this everyday. It is a resin model of a 914 Pickup truck. It took me 3 months to get one and before I posted here I wanted to see if it was a fluke - so I ordered another one directly from the maker in Italy. It took 2 months but I did get the 2nd one.

These are highly detailed with 5 lug Fuchs and real metal grille for the engine cover, Euro turnsignals and tailights. I do not plan to build mine and the 2nd one is for a friend.They are a little expensive at €100 shipped but it I have never seen this before. Who knows - my next project just might be a pickup!

Here are a few pictures.










I ment to post this a couple weeks ago but life got in the way. Special thanks to my Kansas914 buddy for getting this very cool resin model for me. This is one of the most detailed little cars I've seen. The trim and bright parts are actually metal. I'm not sure how I would properly assemble this truck. I would really need nothing on my plate and I would want to work under a lighted magnifying glass in order to keep the trim absolutely spot on and glue free on any outer surfaces. Very impressive little kit not for the novice.

The first thing I noticed is the high quality packaging.

I know that if anyone can do this properly it would be you - certainly not me. Mine will stay unassembled but I can't wait to see your completed one day - in your spare time!

The kit looks great. The only issue I have is the top. They kinda messed that one up thinking it didn't go all the way back.
