Just proves you have to know someone to get in the club. How did a non-stock 6 with all that disco bling get in with the likes of the factory 8? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Oh, Makes sense now. Too much disco for me but Hey I like it, Just didn't seem to rise to the same bar as the cars that were "permitted to enter" My misunderstanding.

Makes me feel a little less guilty about wanting to mod my six, since I have no idea where my original engine (5211) is, & I already have a moveable passenger seat & flares on mine.

Nice labor-intensive and personally customized 914.
I'm not sure about the wooden cabinetry in the front trunk, but a can of termite spray once a year should handle that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

The gas tank cover it a mod I really like. Lots of money in that car and it looks sharp. Bet it drives good too.

The owner is a good friend and PO of my '73. It's a never ending project and seldom fails to attract attention.

As for modifying it, given it was formerly a race car, numbers matching was history long before he bought it. On an interesting note, I see many cars go from street to race, but not many the other way around. Additionally he launched into this project long before 6s started their upward price progression.

The Eurospec 3.2 provides brisk acceleration, but the 901 tranny, though re-geared, is the limiting factor - 3,800RPM at 80 for 2.5 hrs on the drive back from Amelia to Orlando got old - not a quiet car even with windows up and AC running.

Definitely fun to drive, would like to carve some canyons based on attacking interstate on/off ramps.

No, he is not a player here on the World.

Stereo - long, painful fabrication/install.

Somd914, you should bring him over to the World here.

I like his take on the car. I'd be fun to learn more about it-

I like the smooth under bonnet appearance! Something to consider when you're out of ideas to improve your car!. The interior with all the speakers is a little too much for my liking, but that's a matter of (musical) taste.

One thing bugs me: what am I looking at starting around 7:00? there's a red-ish stripe in the RH under corner of the screen. Is it reflection of a red shirt or is it the inside of the door?

Nicely done. As a point of interest, those headlight washer jets were also an option up here. I've seen a few cars with them. But i've heard all they do is kind of spit at the headlight, dribble down into the buckets and... promote rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

This car is beautifully done and a lot of fun to see at Amelia. The stereo is a matter of taste, but the rest of the car looks like it could have come from Porsche's Sunderwisch (sp?) program if it was available for the 914s.

The Cars and Coffee event did seem to be pretty much limited to local cars (sorry Eric), and Sunday's Concours was really the best and most unique 914-6s from back in the day.

Sorry for those folks that missed this event, but luckily lots of folks provided pics.

Not a big fan of big HiFi in a 914...

Might have hurt the value of this orig sixer with so many mods...IMHO.

But consider that 10 years ago this was a retired race car - stripped down, original engine, tranny, interior, etc. were long gone. This car could easily have wound up in a wall on the track or rusting away forgotten about. Additionally 10 years ago the 6 market wasn't what it has become in the last few years.

But as John always tells me, what good is a car that you can't make your own and drive it regularly to enjoy?
