Steve,

I was told that Claus owned the very last 914/6....supposedly built in '76 as a gift to him by the factory....every hear this before?

hmmmm, I need to find out if I'm related to him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I heard it was 75 and it was a 2.7 liter in a silver car with the big bumpers.

I just talked to Claus and sure enough he does own the Max Moritz 9141430178 car. He's had it for about 10 years now. It was originally green but is currently red. Still has traces of green on it. It is currently being restored to the way it was originally.

On the last 914-6 built in '76. Claus is aware of the car you are talking about but it was Klaus Mueller not Claus Mueller that was given the car. And it was the 914-6 that was made into a 916 in the early 80's at a factory across the street from the Porsche factory. The car is still here in Florida.

Too bad as it looks badass as a 76GT. Maybe they will restore it instead of it being a "916 Clone" as its uniqueness as the "last six" is what makes it cool.
I love the trick LE spoiler blending into the flares...

i got a friend in germany who has researched this car (among others) for years and has a extensive library of documents, photos and interviews on the car.
in fact, he just talked to "Mr. Laub" today about the car, Laub is the last guy who raced the car in germany!
he asked me if i knew who owned the car today.

that is sooooo cool!
btw. this is also the car that our very own club-members Paul & Nanci GT-Replica is based on!
the car was run from '72-'73 by "Eckhard Schimpf" as a orange/green "Jägermeister" GT (he used the numbers #77 and #78) ...

i would love to hook up Claus and my german friend Nikolaus so they can exchange information about the car!

I would be surprised if Mr. Laub and Claus Meuller didn't know each other. Claus spends a lot of his time in Germany. He too has done extensive research on the Max Moritz cars including #0178. Claus has a ton of documentation on these cars.

Andy,

I sent Claus's girlfriend a copy of your last post about Mr. Laub. Claus doesn't have or use a computer. So we won't be able to get him on the 914club website. Maybe the next time Claus goes to Germany, he can hook up with Nikolaus.

last time i talked to Nikolaus (this morning) he said he has 63 confirmed races for that car, a few more he's trying to verify. he has talked in person to all of the german drivers that owned/raced the car. he has 100s of pictures and all kinds of other stuff,
so, yes, i think he could be very helpful in Claus's effort to restore the car to it's former glory!

ahh, the power of a global network, how small this planet has become ...

Steve,
What was the history of this car? Where did it race? How well did it do?

I have some documentation on 9141430178 but it is all written in German. From what I can understand, Dietrich Krumm and Gerd F. Quist were two of the people that raced this car. They raced the car at Spa the Nurburgring and LeMans to name a few. It also says it raced in the Porsche Cup in 1971.
