well cutting it up is not a great idea, there are plenty of 914's that can be cut up for wall art.

someone must want to build a 914-6.... that would be a great car. I can store it for free, but I am in RI...

maybe we can chip in and buy it for the forum? there must be 10000 members (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) a 1 dollar donation would make us all owners ....

It does not have an engine and transmission but Jeff does have an original 914-6 engine he would sell if you wanted it.

I'm curious as to the serial number of this original six engine?

One of our clients is buying the chassis and all the parts. If he changes direction
MiddleMotors will purchase it from him.
Super In Law calls it another retirement project. LOL.

Great news! I am glad that car will get saved. I had forwarded the link to someone whom I thought might be interested. Regardless, glad it is going to get saved. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Vermont or Maine registration. Both are non-title states for vehicles 15 years old and older. I can help with that and have done in it many times on my own stuff. You can then register it in your state and obtain a title.

If someone does want to take on this project I have a complete 1970 with hell hole rot that I have been "saving" with a plan to do a restoration sometime in the next few years. The original bumpers are there and in great condition and as far as I know the front half is in great shape with no obvious problems, but these cars sometimes hold surprises.... If it would save a 914-6 I'd consider selling it, but not really looking to sell it under other circumstances. Not sure about price but I'm sure we could work out something reasonable. Hopefully someone will pick up this project and save it.


The purchase process has begun. Awaiting pictures.

Cary's client found another donor car (a tub rather than a complete car) closer to him with a salvageable front end. In reality I'm relieved that he did as this car, which I offered as a donor only because it would save a 914-6, really should be restored. It's complete, has some rare parts in good shape, and will shortly be looking for a new home that has the time and capacity to save it. It was to be my first hell hole project, until Covid resulted in the welding program I enrolled in to be cancelled. I look forward to seeing updates from Cary on the 914-6 "swiss cheese" project!
