There is one way to get a concourse car, do what 2 guys here did. Buy it brand new and park it in the garage. The first one was a Buick (hot sport model?) now 8-10 yrs old 22km on it & a guy at work has a Prowler with 8km on it.

Hey 914 (almost sounds like a Steely Dan song)!

Do you have any more pics? There is a thread for club members rides, you should post a couple nice shots there!

there was recently a factory 914-6 resto for sale what was as new as you can get. this was my all-time dream car. signal orange with tasteful upgrades (911s brakes, 2.7RS, koni's, etc, etc). everything on this car was brand new. it was on the market a long time and just sold recently (when I was just now in a better position to buy it!). anyone on here the new owner? this car probably sold for $25k, which I find to be a great deal.

that is just sick man ...

i just had my car completely stripped and sandblasted,
spent 5k+ on a decent paint-job and it looks quite nice
(from the top anyways) but nothing like THIS car ...

makes me wonder why my dad didn't think about buying a 914/6 new when they came
out and garage it for me. arrghhhh ...

sad, sad, sad ...

Hmm, looks like Dean Vanni's car. He's been showing that in the Zone 7 concours events (complete with photo album of the resto) for something like eight or ten years. Took 1st place in the 914 division at the 2000 Parade in Sac'to. (Though I liked the green 914-6 better myself...)

I drool over these shots every time. Here is the place that did the resto on the orange car(along with some pics):
Deman Motorsport

The yellow one from this site was in excellence about a year ago.

Interesting that Deman used a rear sway bar on the car (with old bushings) LOL.. new ones are white. I used to sell parts to Rick quite a bit back in the early/mid 90's. He put his Yellow car up for sale right after the Excellence feature.

B you're quite a CW after all...I had lost all hope...

Don't the euro lenses (on a USA car) just make you shudder?

Jeff,

Attend a Concourse with me some time. After seeing so many 914's built with incorrect parts.. you learn to appreciate STOCK.

I walked up to Dean Vanni's 914/6 at the Monterrey Historics and told him he had the wrong dash in the car (grain pattern was incorrect for a 1970 914) He wasnt happy ("but I bought it new from Porsche"... he said)

I know what it takes to do one "correct"

The EURO lenses dont really bother me considering the red ones are/where NLA.

Dont EVER ask me to pick a car apart (visually+verbally)

I think (almost sure) this 914-6 was for sale on evil-bay not too long ago. I don't know if it sold or not. Montreal is about a 3hr drive from here, been many times, cool place.

Thats a great idea Brad and I think you should offer a session at the next Concours for anyone interested. I am sure you would have several people interested in a BR pre-judging judging. We have much to learn...

I purchased the Orange 914-6 from Montreal. This is my first 914. I purchased it for less than what was posted and got an extra set of Fuchs with track tires and a racing seat too. Some of the cars I had looked at were $10-15k and poorly restored. I'm happy with my purchase and I feel it can only go up in value.

Where can I get the correct sway bar mounts?
