FS: PMB Coachwerks #008, ***SOLD*** Options

[Eric_Shea]

Life changes and family additions leave the current owner longing for more seat time. Now it’s time for someone else to enjoy this magical, narrow bodied, stroker four that has “all the right stuff”.

This is, by far one of our favorite cars, I’d dare say one of our favorite -4’s to come out of PMB Coachwerks. She struggled for a while to find her identity but, she luckily had an owner with a crystal clear vision and what a beautiful vision it was.

All around this car there are subtle yet stellar enhancements to handle her every improvement. At PMB we strive for “factory-esq” improvements when they are to be made. Never try to out-think a Porsche engineer. Starting at the nose, the chrome bumper was cut to match the factory 914-6/GT oil cooler cutout. The GT valance was narrowed to meet the stock -4 fenders all lending to a very subtle sledgehammer approach if you know what you’re looking at. Follow that theme into the front trunk and there you find a big oil cooler hanging out in a factory shroud. When you put a cooler where it belongs, it keeps temps in check under the most demanding conditions. The lines come up the passengers side and discretely terminate into a plate that runs them under the headlight bucket into the cooler. A 180° thermostat back at the engine opens once things are warmed up and keeps oil temps well below 200°.

A 916 style spacesaver spare complements an ultra clean look in the front trunk. She’s wearing her PMB Coachwerks #008 badge with pride.

Move further back, let’s find out what we’re keeping cool. You’ll find an amazing, electronically fuel injected 2270 stroker Type 4 mounted mid-ship with Jenvey throttle bodies and classic 356 stainless steel air filters topping things of. A CFR/Tangerine Racing header, muffler and heat exchanger make sure she breaths freely. Again subtle touches reside. The stock charcoal filter still keeps fuel fumes in check as they’re routed into the top of each filter. The 356 filters give it that distinctive “Porsche” look and feel. The EFI keeps things in check monitoring exhaust gasses, manifold pressure, barometric pressure, intake air temperature, throttle position and digests it all for optimum fuel delivery. This is not your dads 914.

What’s next? The transmission, that’s what. Totally rebuilt and this one has a special treat, we had a true 16,000 mile gear stack just “lay’n around” and it was truly a thing of beauty. The gears still had fresh hash marks from machining! New clutch and, Chris from CFR/Tangerine to the rescue again with one of their stellar side sift linkage kits combined with a spherical firewall bushing. She shifts like a dream. All new.

New Bilstein shocks all around and elephant bushings make this 914 feel like it came right off the lot in 73.

Of course you’re looking at PMB Performance calipers all the way around with 320i units up front and late 914 rears out back. New Porterfield AP109 R4-S pads do the dirty work up front while AP124 R4-S pads hang out in the rear. Do you think there’s a new PMB pressure regulator in this car? You are correct.

Wrapping up brakes and suspension, the owner has two sets of wheels and tires which both look outrageously good on this package. Meticulously refinished steelies sporting, what else? a “Slate Grey” finish or, our favorite for the Porsche factory look, 2.0 Fuchs with new tires all around.

Step inside. New dash, New door panels. New carpet. New backpad. New seat upholstery. Coco mats. Appearance group center console with (mandatory) Dakota Digital CHT gauge in place. It just needs you to turn the key and get acquainted with 914 bliss.

All of the metalwork has been done on this California car less than two years ago. This is truly a rust free (as in, no rust not, no charge for the rust) 914. She was then meticulously body worked and shot with her factory “Light Ivory” coating. Light Ivory is just off the hook stunning, sexy and sophisticated when matched with the semi-gloss black bits from the factory. We love this color. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Easily half price for a super sleeper 4 that will likely shame some /6's out there in the canyons. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
