Here is a little more info about this event and something about what happened to the cars afterwards...
Tuesday, November 13, 2018 12:13 AM From: Alan Johnson I do remember it and I was one of the driver trainers for the celebs. I spent time with Dick Smothers and a couple of others. I remember that Bob Bondurant was very excited to be spending time with Paul Newman. This was when 914-6’s were not selling and this was a way to get exposure for them. I think there was about 20 cars in the event of about 12 celeb drivers. After the event, the cars were sold to PA Dealers for about $4,000. If I remember right, I bought a couple. A few months later I bought the remaining new Tangerine units, about 8. I also bought a damaged unit with heavy front end damage, for less than $3000. It was dark BRG and I had it repaired and painted black including a smoothed black top. . I have always thought there was two main reasons the 914-6 didn’t sell. First, they looked exactly like the 914. Second, they were geared way too high. Thanks for asking about these fun cars. AJ |
