Nice to see our cars getting this kind of recognition at the most recent Parade in Spokane.
Has anyone seen this car? Looks like Adriatic Blue. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/det....php?id=2082391 |

An M471 option 914-6 is not a GT to me. What makes them a GT to you?
The GTs were race cars with lightweight bodywork and interiors, chassis reinforcements, complex and expensive oil systems, twin plug engines and many other modiciations described with detailed parts lists in a sports purposes manual published by Porsche and extremely well documented in photos by people like Glenn Stazak and Armando Serrano. The M471 option was simple, flares and wheels just as you described. They are a beautiful, wonderful version of the street 914-6. But those changes alone did not make a car into a GT. For those of us that have worked hard to pay attention to all these details, it is disheartening when someone, let alone PCA judges, fail to recognize the many differences. I guess the word tribute carries more respect for the original to me. If I was in charge of classing and judging cars, this is a resto-mod. Tributes to me are far more accurate recreations than this. If that's not what a tribute is, then I don't know what to call cars like Eric Shea's and Armando's. Ok, I'll stop now... |
