1970 914-6 GT Replica
This is a very nice GT replica built on an original 914-6 shell that once belonged to noted 914-6 expert Jon Lowe. I purchased the car from Michel Richard (he built the car and I will attach links to his build thread in 914World) in April of 2010 in Canada. I picked up the car and brought it to Texas where the car was registered and has a clean Texas title.

The car as built by Michel Richard in 2006:
• Body – Car was media blasted, steel flares installed and car was painted Zambezi green, car has fiberglass front and rear bumpers, fiberglass front and rear decklids w/ wood reinforcements, GT engine cover, deleted headlight motors and installed 914-6 GT headlight pull cables,
• Drivetrain – 2.5 twin plug engine (complete rebuild w/ paperwork), 901 transaxle , 40 PMO’s, Supertec twin plug dizzy, complete GT oil system, front mounted oil cooler, 914-6 heat exchangers.
• Suspension and Brakes – 914-6 front and rear suspension, aluminum front crossmember, bilsteins front and rear, Factory front swaybar, factory rear swaybar, Alum “S” front brakes, 914-6 GT rear brakes (vented rotor and functional e-brake), replica 15” Fuchs.

What does the car need?
• Small paint repair (scratch on the panel between the windshield and front decklid, scratch on the passenger door and what looks like a rust bubble on the outside of the driver’s door near the bottom). Obviously the doors were not prepped correctly prior to painting; the door is very “fixable”. Will try to show these spots in the pictures.
• Windshield needs to be R&R’d to properly install windshield clips and trim (the parts and trim are included).
• Round up the rest of the parts to make the heater work and Jet Hot coat the original heat exchangers
• Address the annoying oil leaks (just your normal 911 engine drips, used to it, like a lot of you I have the cardboard “floor saver” and I deal with it). Interested in total disclosure. No surprises

What have I done to the car since I purchased it:
• Replaced the master cylinder (new 19mm) and flushed the lines with ATE Super Blue
• Moved the fuel pump to the front of the car and replaced the fuel lines.
• Installed a Tarrett front sway bar
• Corrected the poor fit on the front fiberglass bumper and painted the front and rear bumpers black.
• Zim’s Autotechnik in Bedford Texas replaced the steering wheel bushing and sorted out the wiring to the horn, gauges, etc.
• Recovered the seats

I am asking $34k. I have owned 5 or 6 914’s over the years and built a very wild 914-6 conversion and this is a very nice car. See the build thread (Michel's build) and my photos.

The car can be seen at Zim’s Autotechnik. The address is 1804 Reliance Parkway, Bedford Texas. Please contact Al Zim to set up an appointment to see the car at (800) 356-2964. He requested that folks don’t just “show up” so please call him first.

Any questions? PM me and I will get back to you. I have a few more pictures. Thanks for looking.
