Hi All,
I'm a new guy on the block and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Mark and I live in NH. I own a 1971 914-6 (9141430354) which I purchased new 32 years ago this month (yeh I'm kind of an old f*rt)! You might say I'm a lifer. I have promised the car to my 20 year old daughter so she won't let me track it or autocross it (never did these things in the past but I'm getting the itch now!). At present I am selling my other P car (1973 911S) to finance the purchase of a drivers ed/street car(either early 911 or 914-6). I'd love to build a GT replica like the orange one being done at present but my finances are limited. I am envious of that gentleman and do respect his dedication and thoroughness:-) Thats for sure! You guys have a great board and I hope I can contribute some helpful info in the future. 71six Mark |

Andyrew,
It was in I believe early July and I was at Manchester Porsche-Audi (distributor owned dealership) in Manchester,NH having my 1969 911T serviced. They had a yellow 914-6 there a saleman was using. I asked if I could take it for a test drive. They said yes so off I go. My initial impressions were of that glorious"symphony in flat six" right behind my ears and the forgiving nature of the handling compared to my T which had the dreaded hydro pneumtic front struts and "no" swaybars(not a good recipe for handling!!). When I returned to the dealership a car carrier was unloading "new" Porsche's including "my"silver 6. I proceeded to strike a deal using the 911T as partial trade for the 914-6. No I have never regreted it! Perhaps my neighbor will scan the window sticker and bill of sale tomorrow when he "hopefully" shoots some digital photo's for me to send you. Mark |
