I randomly ran across this old 914 racecar in an ad while I was visiting Georgia for a reasonable price, so I went ahead and bought it. Does anyone recognize it? The seller had previously bought it in a parts lot from the fellow who raced it, so information is second hand and incomplete. I don't have contact info. for the guy who raced it. It seems to have run SCCA E Production in the 1980s and possibly the 70s, out of Georgia. It sat outside for a few months, so condition is rough, but I didn't see any terminal rust, and it seems to be complete.

I'm looking for information about the car. I'm hoping there may be some folks who are ex-racers or from the Georgia area who might be familiar with it. Thanks!

It's not my old car.
I don't know who's car that was. It looks like it has a SARRC decal on the side, which was the bunch I ran with, but it wasn't active when I was 2007-2010. I sold my car in 2011.

My hunch is the car in the photo's has been sitting for a while.

Thanks guys ...

Greg - I realized what you meant. Perhaps I misunderstood another comment and thought the thread was going adrift, lol.

Let’s see if anyone else recognizes the car in the first post.

Also appreciate any leads to people in the southeast who raced in the 1970s or 80s who might know about the car.

Quick update - I am in touch with the former owner / racer of the car. Apparently SCCA has been assembling a database of scanned historical materials like race results, logbooks, and other records. I ran across a contact for the team that is doing this, and put in a request along with the limited info. I had. A couple weeks they came back with the name of the former owner. I googled the name, and luckily he was still in Georgia and I gave him a call. He still has some paperwork for the car that I'm hopefully going to get soon.
