Thanks again for all the kind words gang. Seriously, none of this ever could have happened without everyone here at 914World.

Car looked at sounded great and I daresay you were a much better ambassador for the model! Nice to see the 914-6 getting love on the show.

thanks for posting the link
a great promo for the 914 cause and the 914 world site
however if I hear the 'stepchild' reference again I will scream !
If Porsche had control of the project instead of VW when they didnt know whether they were Beetles or Golfs,it would have been a totally different story for the 914-6.
I'll send the link to the guys here in Sydney

Eric - which seats do you have ?
are the fittings compatible with the stock rails or is there some 'creative 'work to get them to fit in my May '70 -6 ?

cheers

heres another one from DW tv in Germany
Christoph has driven a number of Porsches from VW Autostadt in Wolfsburg and has always given a complimentary opinion
also nice to see the -6 driven on open country roads that enhance the driving experience
enjoy !

Well, we have to remember that the 914 really was the bastard stepchild of VW and Porsche. If Heinz Nordhoff hadn’t died and his successor had allowed Porsche to purchase the chassis for the 914-6 at a good price so it would have made financial sense for them (instead of costing about the same as a 911 shell), I think a lot more development on the -6s would have continued. Luckily, others (like Eric) have taken up the challenge and now there are many great ‘continuation’ cars out there. A 914-6 with increased power is a marvelous car to drive.

Is it just me...or does Jay seem like a comedian with cars who needs to get coffee?(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've thought this several times.
Seinfeld and Leno have car related done collaborations before for superbowl commercials.

I personally think that would be a great CiCGC.

Eric.

Really nice job on the car, Love the sound of a six over 5500 RPM. Im sad you did not have the opportunity to showcase all the other hard work that went in to your car.
Yours was one of my favorite builds to watch. Badm
