Holy crap! That's awesome!

Numbers matched 914-6's are few for sure.

Well done!

Mark,

Going to use it as a decorative coffee table in my office and know that it comes with car. Just like the extra seat that came with car that was made into an office chair by Eric - PMB Performance and Dale.

It adds a lot of value to the car, more than the $3,000 case parked in my office

Best Bob

I sure that most do not know that 914/Alan lives one block from me as the crow flys.

See you soon Brother.

In life timing is everything. I am really lucky in this regard. If Glenn did not get in touch with me, I may never have got this case.

If it was not for you Glenn, the stars would not have aligned, and I would not have ended up with this case. Thanks again buddy.

Well, the case came today Sept 22nd in perfect shape with Cad plated bolts and nuts. I have chain covers from the 69 S Eng that was in #41 when I got it. A mix of S heads, chain covers dated 65 and 66. Henry said this Eng. Was run as a 2.5 SS Eng. Just like the S Eng. That was in it when I got it. Who knows what happened to it from the late 70s

Those early aluminum chain housings have value.
I know of a modified 6 (3.something, flares etc, etc.) and the location of the
original block. The car owner is not interested... even for cheap money.
Go figuire.
Congratulations Bob !
Good job Glenn !

------This is the info from the Ebay ad when I got the car, Dec.27th 2006 ---------
Hi Lloyd

-- (the very nice guy I bought my car from—

This is a great project car for the right person. I bought it in 1980, and stopped driving it when it couldn't pass smog. It last ran in 1990 and has been stored under cover in my garage since 1990. Before I owned it, it was a project car of a guy that worked at a local Porsche speed shop. This has always been a California car. It has never seen salt and has no rust.Engine 2.5 L 20k Miles Aluminum case 2.2. Rods EMPI, 88 mm pistons and cylinders, Ported heads and manifolds 40 IDS Weber Carbs, CD ignition, 911S Distributor 67 911S Cams Front 914/6-GT oil cooler with GT ducting, Aeroquip Stainless Steel Lines and oil thermostat, Sport Muffler, Transmission Rebuilt 2000 Miles ago by Performance Haus, 911S copper faced clutch, Hand polished close ratio 906 gears Late model "side shift" linkage, Suspension Adjustable 19mm front sway bar with Teflon bushings Bilstein Carrera RS front struts, adjustable perches, Bilstein rear shocks, Modified front 911S calibers with cross-drilled "S" rotors Five 15x7" BBS modular rims Magnesium centers Titanium lug nuts, 12mm torsion bars. Body
Body seams bead welded Fuel filler moved to cowl. Aircraft style cover Side markers removed European front turn assemblies,French tail light lenses Factory Convex RH mirror
Quartz Iodide headlights European 911S gages including oil level
LeCarrera steering wheel Scheel 914 seat.-------
I have had many questions about the fuel filler area. Peter Dawe of Dawe's Motorsports helped build this car at Dick Troutmans's in the late 70s. I asked Petr how this was done, below is his answer.
Hi Lloyd From what i can remember the hinge and the flush mount latch was aircraft surplus. I believe all those parts are offered thru Aircraft Spruce Co. Peter welded a shaped piece of steel under the body cowl for the gas door to sit on . He also welded a fill pipe on to the gas tank. (Only for pros to weld) Then because of the pipe bends he had to put a vent from the original fill to the neck so the tank could be filled up to the top. All this was 20 years ago but I think thats about it. But you have to be as talented as Peter to do it right. Thats the TRICK. Thanks and happy holidays Petr Dawe
