Yes! I know which one you're talking about. Saw it at Thunderhill once. I will try to google a pic.

And others tried to tell me I was crazy... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/calvin.gif)

I'm sure it was a custom color, or they bought white ones and painted them pink. Doubt if Porsche has a paint code for it.

does it have the butcher design?? The one I'm thinking of is pink, with dotted lines drawn about it. Kinda the way a butcher would quarter a piece of meat. I can't find the pic though... I'm so frustrated with the "search" option we have. I've never had it find what I need on the first 10 tries. What am I doing wrong?!?!?!

That is the PINK PIG, 917-20, ran in the 1970 or 71 Leman I believe, I saw the car in Germany.

When I saw this car in Germany, on the dash there is a plaque stating that it was restored in Florida, by some unheard of by me PORSCHE shop. Shocking to me that the Factory did not do the restoration. Maybe the car was bought after the restoration had already taken place. I have several pictures of it on real film here, but no scanner.

Glenn Stazak and I saw that in person at the factory museum. Behind the wheel it's scary where your feet end up.

Is that the same Bill Ousler that does the column for Pano?

I am just finishing a "pink pig" model in 1/24 scale in my shop. It actually tested as a white car. It's a 917.

I am talking about a 914 however...not the pig (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Yes...the same Bill O that writes for Pano, etc. He's a client/friend....and an all around great guy. He has a red 74 914 2 liter in his stable of Porsches. A real die hard! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Yes, I knew he had to be a die hard, as his Pano photo is with a '14.

Pink 914's also came with special gearboxes.

The gearboxes had very "soft" syncos 'cause the drives wrists were very weak.

Most were limp wristed.

Actually, I saw it at the parade in Costa Mesa. Yup, right here in the USA! Well, Orange County. It's surrounded by the USA ...............Interesting car, and I believe there's a good story behind the paint job. It's in the factory museum now. The Cap'n

I saw that same paint scheme on a 356 at the Laguna Seca Historics this year. Was definitely not a car for the limp wristed.

Yes, there was a run of pink 914's. I have a low mile tranny out of one but it was a 73.
