Hi guys
I sold my previous track car and decided to buy a 914. Key features that sold me on the 914 -old -light -rwd -mid engine My previous track car was a riot and difficult to class in different organizations. I bought the 914 because it will be easier to class due to the "simplicity" of the build. This will be primarily a track car however it will be street legal with creature comforts. I am located in WNY, so old classics are scarce and the ones that did survive are on the verge in splitting in half or fully restored. Since I am an older college student, finding one in decent shape will be hard. I found this guy in California and had it shipped to me.    While the pics looked great, I totally overpaid and it was a rusty bucket with a maco paint job. I bought this from Beverly hills car club and sales guy told me there was no rust and it was a solid car. What a load of of bs... It was also my fault for being naïve and putting faith in humanity. Next time ill go 3rd party and look at it person. Lesson learned. Moving on... First order of business was to replace all the rust and fab a roll bar.   |

Sorry to hear about the bad sales experience. That said, looks like that didn't hold you back from moving on!
What did it start as? Looks like a '74 (well maybe 73.5 in back based on number of bumperettes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) What are some goals of the build? Making it meet a particular group/class/sanctioning body? Keeping a 4 or making into a 6? |

Its a 74 Strictly a streetable time trial build. I've been tracking with NASAMA for 4 years but recently moved to WNY. So I plan on doing a mixture of NASA NE MA TT events. I am planning on TT4. I think the car can do a 2:07 at watkins on 100tw tires.I am also looking into SCCA events near me. For fun track days I usually do anything on motorsports reg. I am planning on being a nasa instructor too. Ditching the flat 4 for a K24. Would love to do a EFI 6 but that's just way above my budget. |
