Can we pool some dough together? I’ll take her every other Tuesday. When I saw it at Luft last year, the seats were worn and ripped up. I’m sure it was quite a hardship trying to find that fabric.* A few pics added for the lazy: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23209-1596798806.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23209-1596798807.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23209-1596798807.3.jpg) *P.S. While digging I found a SpeedHunters article with some great photos showing the wear in the seats, they look the same in the RMS photos - So I suppose the fabric was not replaced. |

I test drove it in 1980 or so, when Otis brought her by and had a look at my converted 914-6 2.7 turbo. After he took a turn in mine he needed the Boost added to his yellow 916. It took me a week to convince him Not to alter that limited production 914...and the 2.4 mfi stayed.

took a look at the RM pictures and it looks like it has a set of new leather seats in addition to the worn ones in the car.
how many 916's were made, was it 11 or 12? |

Nice car. Glad they are offering it with the leather seats- the cloth seats, though original, are ugly. Let's see if I sold the house...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

At Luft I was looking at the car and heard some guy talking to another guy and said this is the nicest clone conversion he had ever seen...lol I told him it was the real deal.

This car is very much the real deal, and has had some exceptional caretakers along the way. Will be curious to see how it does, and hope the new owner will exercise it—as the 916 I drove was a lovely, balanced thing. The steel roof, 2.4S MFI, and 915/916 gearbox indicated what Porsche wanted to change a couple of years into the 914-6 program and after racing and rallying the platform in the world's best events. But alas…
There's no question Porsche made the right "business" decision in nixing the 916 and producing the RS 2.7…for so many reasons. This admitted even if I'll always be more of a 914 guy than a 911 guy. Had no idea Otis wanted to twin-turbocharge it, but maybe that becomes a thing once you've owned a 917/30 alongside a 917K? |

this is 011 grubers car, and has been meticulously restored, even went to the extreme of painting it white first (as they all were except for brutus. THAT is why it has the L80E tag in the door jamb. Notice that our 916 also has the L80E tag in the door jamb That is correct 10 white cars with black interiors were ordered, these where 1971 914/6 chassis as they have 1971 production numbers. They were prepared at Karosserie Baur the German chassis modifier as directed by Ferdinand Piëch. ![]() |
