You have a better history of the GT than most do, When I owned it it had never been in a major crash, I think a front fender was replaced..maybe not , long time ago,,
the flares were on it and there was a bubble at the weld in a couple spots..other than the mice infestation ,,It was a great -6, I know all the people from Wa. that played with it. Untill Brooke sold it.... Conrad the painter was used by alot of the crowd in the Seattle area.. you can check out Brooke on pelican and a few posts here ,, RSwannabe ...there was some of the resto paint on pelican, but Ithink he deleted it,He is a 911 guy..Akers who built the engine has been in downtown Seattle for ever..Good Luck


Also Redmond Euro did the trans, as they did the 3.o install, It had the factory -6 tailshift trans when I had it.
The main harness behind the brake fluid reservoir, was missing the tape wrap when I bought it, I assumed the mice ate it...
brooke had The transmission was rebuilt by Bernie Buschen with custom short gears (A, F, Ka, Q, X) and a GT torsion limited slip differential.

Isn't this the flared 914-6 that had the flares on backwards or the fronts were centered and not pushed forward like they should've been? Something like that.

I remember the wiring you had to clean up and the 67' S engine.

Thanks for helping fill in the blanks in the history of this car. It's still a solid car, great driver, not a concourse queen. BTW, I no longer have the custom short gears, back to stock (Tall) gears with ZD 5th gear.

The car is still for sale at this point of anyone is interested.

Cheers,
Dominic

I don't know the car, but I have met Dominic and I'd vouch for his character. $80K is a hefty chunk of money, but prima facie the car seems worth that or more in today's market. If I had that amount of disposable income I'd be in Vacaville today. If it were me, I'd invest the money for a PPI, but that is just me. If you wanted to do a "formal" PPI I would get in touch with Bill Eason at Eason Motor Works in Oakland and have him do the PPI. Not cheap, but he will be thorough and honest. Spending 80K long distance makes me nervous and I'd want somebody with skills and experience to go through the car.

@sirandy Sorry to hear about your back. I'm in the clinic today 9-2, walk-in orthopedic only urgent care in Oakland... (Webster OrthoNow). On site xray, MRI, etc.... No appointment needed. VIP treatment for anybody who shows up in a 914!

I can tell you Dominic's Six runs very nice and rides just as nice. Dominic is a great guy and a true Porsche lover. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I can add he is a great guy to deal with and whomever buys his car will be getting a very special 914-6. Regrettably it will not be me though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
