Hey Wolfgang,

I have seen some of your previous posts in addition to this one...You seem to favor the GT's and some unique 914/6's...

Did this 914/6 just change hands? Any idea of the price?

Hi Peter,
you're right - I really love all that mystery concerning teeners
no matter if it's about the 916, or 914-6 GTs, or 914 LE/GT/SL or just strange things on "normal" teeners (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

this one was sold in Nov 2005 - sorry, no price info
here are 2 pics of the car after it left the storage where it sat since 1978
it was the underfloor garage from Max Moritz in Reutlingen (Germany)

the pics were taken at the new owners place

watch the front spoiler on the valance and the big Porsche crest on the hood
there is still the original license plate on the car

here's the back side - see the strange antenna and the Porsche script on the rear lid - similar like on the Monte Carlo GTs

but now the best - I've also got a pic from the paint code tag
it says 26G (difficult to read, but the guy who took the photo told me so) which is the code for conda green at the 911s

see this list

I cant believe they used the rear tow hook to tie the car down on the trailer.

Thanks for the pictures.

Brad, I do not think the tow hook is being used as a tie down, just as added security!

Wolfgang, I really enjoy your posts. This is obviously is a really special car. I often wonder where some of the "special" 914/6's are??? Like the ones they used for practice on the Targa Florio?

Do you ever come across anyone selling any of the rare parts associated with the GT's?

I am almost finished with a build of pretty accurate GT in the #1 Marathon livery...I cut up a perfectly good, all original 914/6 to have this built. Actually the car should have had the alignment today and if the weather is good enough driven...almost 280HP. Most of this is documented on Armando's site:

Peter

Gustl,
Now that is very interesting. The lilac car had the same thing, but it was repainted by the factory years later I believe. So rather than using code 98 Karmann actually used the proper paint code? Now that has an obvious repaint, however the badge itself has that paint on it so it must have been a repaint of the previous color at least.

Okay, on to the chassis # please. Thanks my friend.

I think they just used it to pull it up on the trailer. It is connected to a winch. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) But STILL! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

The color tag doesn't appear to have a chassis number stamped on it. Forgery?

nope, replacement. you can get the blank tags from porsche/karman ...

the car was probably re-tagged with the 911 color code when it was repainted by MM ...

The 914/6 does not have a chassis # on the Karmann badge.
The paint code is not the same series as the usual codes seen in a 914/6. In fact the 914/6 uses about 3 different codes and this appears to be a fourth type. Lord knows how they kept track of the paint codes because I am quite confused.

The 914's lines are way ahead of it's time. The shape was primarily dictated by the length of the roof. That was kept to a functional minimum- cover two occcupants and a roll hoop structure. The engine rode under the hoop. Then the trunk was long enough to hold the roof. Wheels pushed out to the extreme edges. Straight lines with little ornamentation. Mostly just rectangles with radiused edges. Not perfectly square but nominally parallel lines - just the slightest rise over the rear wheel- ala 718 or RS spyder- but resolved into what was the signature type 901 (911) style squared around that roof shaped trunk. The raised front markers are another allusion to the 901 headlight bulge- in a reduced and more angular perportion to follow the overall theme. Look at todays cars- scions & mitsus & smarts or wjatever. Its all there- wheels at edges, slab sides, form folllows function is in. We already knew the car was all about function anyway.

Doug, The Meaney car that you have pictured changed hands a few years ago...the listing was on race-cars.com:
http://www.race-cars.com/carsold/porsche/9...t6/914gt6ss.htm



Michael, I have looked a bit into these bumper colors...using the Collier car as a guide and what we decided on was just pick a color that looks right against the the black half and against the color of your car. Mine was done in yellow and there were different shades of yellow that did not look right with the signal orange. It definately had to be a flat.

Although someone else may have some input on this...

I'd say, if they painted it green at MM and re-tagged it, the tag shouldn't have green paint on it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

possibly the car was really original conda green and got repainted in conda green in its early days (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
