Does anyone anywhere have an old photograph or grid list from any race anywhere from before 1982 showing a Chalon-bodied 914 racing with any group on any track? I'm trying to find some evidence to support eligibility to run mine in Vintage with RMVR. If I can prove that someone else raced one anywhere with any group, then I have a much better shot at having my car meet the RMVR eligibility requirements for 1981 and older cars. I've looked, but couldn't find anything. I also can't find any history of the Chalon body kits, specifically the years they were made. I thought they were produced starting in the late 70's and I've seen a date on some paperwork for a body that was being sold here on the World forum of 1984, and that body looked like a newer version of the one on my car. Any and all help appreciated.

Hello I have Andy's 914-6 I could not race it in SCCA because the Chalon kit was not legal. I put a sherraton kit on. I may have the POC logbook of Andy's somewhere . I will look paul

IMSA rules in general were more lax than SCCA, and I'd guess would allow Chalon bodywork. I recall that AIR and Hoesman both made slant nose 914 bodywork that was raced in IMSA. I don't know about the engine swap idea though. I suspect they drew the line at keeping engine and chassis manufacturer consistent. I've found old IMSA rulebooks by Googling for a restoration project I'm working on. Try looking for the old AAGT or GTX class rules from the late 70s / early 80s. They were the most liberal classes back then. There was a twin turbo 914 that competed in IMSA at one point, probably in one of those classes. Then contact vintage orgs that run in your area with your findings. Or as suggested just contact them and see if they'll work with you. Some are more open minded than others.
