looking for 914-6 turbo, any information on this 914 Options

[Quilmes]

Hello fellow 914club members, I was wondering if anyone knew where this 914-6 turbo was. It appeared in VW&Porsche mag in 1981, and if anyone has any more photos of this car.

Thanks

That may be the Llew Kinst 914-6 GT. It started life as a "standard" GT, possibly built by the factory? It was raced for years and years, and got wilder and wilder. I heard it wound up with a turbocharged engine for a while.

It has since been "restored" back to regular GT specs.

I don't think so, the 914 you are talking about was a Krammer car, but this one was owned by "John Bond Jr" ( Not James Bond)as stated in the article, built by Danny McLaughlin of AIR.
I was just looking for more info and photos on this car.

Thanks for the reply

when last i saw that car (or one that looked a LOT like it, in red) it was owned - or at least shown - by San Diego Porsche dealer Alan Jonson.

John Bond, Jr was well known in San Diego PCA while i was there; interesting character. owned an ex-IROC RSR when it was too new to be thought of as rare (we figured Penske would be racing RSR's in the IROC forever...)

John Bond, Senior published Road & Track for quite a while; there was some money in the family...

anyway - i last saw the car in 1976 or so, when the factory Turbo Carrera was still new and there were no turbo 914,6's.

No turbo 914/6s? Not factory maybe. Otto built one that came within a few ounces of gas of taking the Parade driving trophy at the FIRST Monterey Parade. The car's still in WLA, AFIK. 9s and 11s look GOOOOOOODDDDD on a teener, BTW. Alan Johnson squeeked into the win because he didn't run out of gas ............................ The Cap'n

Interesting that you mention it in RED, I was in West Palm Beach Fl a while back ago for a vintage race and took some photos of a car that had the same external look except the top had (Roof) been removed. Same turbo rear, but the owner got bent out of shape when I was taking my photos and cover it up and asked me what I was looking for. I replied that it was an interesting car and just wanted to photograph it, I will see if I can uncover them and post them.

Thanks for the possible lead.

Also from what you tell me John Bond Jr must have had money to build something that exotic back then.

Thanks

Quilmes your red teener is beautiful, very nice.

There was aslo a white "Altec Lansing' sponsored wide body with this style body pieces, no turbo though. A-I-R fiberglass / Dan McGloughlin made (makes ?) these pieces.

Uhh... Red with an AIR Grp 5 kit, with the 2 stage aluminum tail?

I owned an identical car in the Lauderdale area, 91-92.

Could this be your 914 twin turbo??? It was at a Porsche club gathering with a bunch of 956 and 962. If it is where did it go?

Thanks, and please fill me in on the specs.

Ah, that's right! It was built buy the Kremer brothers, wasn't it? Fitting that it wound up with a turbocharged engine, then... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Sorry I don't have anything on the car you're looking for. Glad that others do seem to have info for you!

cool cars, have the altec lansing ad, don't know anything about either one (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

First photo of (Blue) car appears to be in Dan's (A-I-R) shop on Santa Anita Ave. in Burbank. Looks like his custom 928ized 911 fiberglass treatment going on a car in the corner of photo. I've been over to this shop many times back in the 70's/ 80's, lots of cool cars and antiques going on. New owner of the building Jack K. (high end body shop) upgraded the building for seismic code-- the tile floors are gone (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)
Another big 914 turbo panzer was the 80's era Von-K car. Originally a Kremer built GT, brought here and POC raced. It was kinda orange-yellow, stuffed with a big Garrett, intercooler, 2.4 MFI and had a huge "Ports-o-call" air scoop on it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) But it was a TTD car at the old RIR ! The car was returned to its original Kremer look as a GT and was at Monterey for the Porsche 50th.
