1970 914-6 went to look at this nice clean 6 to help sell for the owner. I was ready to take it out to CAMP and I made a phone call, car sold 4 hours later. Never made it out to CAMP.

Thanks a lot, Craig - it's not like I needed another 914! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

No, seriously, thank you for turning me onto the car. It is so nice and tight. Total joy to drive! The Gamroth-built 2.4 is sooo fun - I can't decide whether to stick w/ it or swap in the Patrick Motorsports 3.2 from my yellow car; I think my indecision really speaks volumes about the 2.4. The side-shift conversion is one of the best shifting I've experienced. And all the extra parts is just sweet icing on the cake!

Thank you again for telling me about this one!

Now, does anyone need a kidney?

duc, step away from the checkbook. leave gamroth's engine in it. if his track car is an indicator it should be plenty fast.

I hear ya, Kevin...but the 3.2's torque is sooo nice! And when pushed, you really do notice the power/torque difference (~215hp, 218ft lb vs ~150-160hp and I'm guessing 165-ish torque - will dyno both soon for baseline). Going from more to less isn't something most people would do by choice, I don't think, not in this power range. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The 3.2 can easily be upgraded, too, which is smart in the long run (you never know!). And if I ever go chipped DME or ITB/EFI, there'll be absolutely no comparison in terms of daily drivability/enjoyment. But, really, the main reason I'm contemplating the swap is that the engine is going to get dropped anyhow, as I'm planning a full repaint...not that the car absolutely "needs" it, but because I just want to make her really, really nice...because I'm particular like that...and I think it's worth it from an investment standpoint. This is a really nice example and deserves the extra treatment. It won't cost all that much, as my yellow car has mostly all new parts, ready to be swapped over. And I'm selling the yellow car to offset all this extra expense, so it all works out quite well. The main casualty is that my other planned restoration project will just have to go on hold for a few months.

Hey, did you receive the engine paperwork that I sent you awhile back? Just makin' sure...

Hi Mark. Yeah, the reflector's gotta go! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Definitely, anytime you want to see/drive it, let me know.
I do like silver. White is still my fave, but silver is up there.
How are you liking the Triad and all the other goodies?

T.C.


Thanks, T.C., and everyone for your kind words! I'm excited to get everything done over the new few months, in time for summer. As far as 914 projects go, this will be an easy one, so that's good. I'm not in a position (especially time-wise) to take on a serious undertaking.

T.C., I have the MFI for the 2.4. Do you think I should change over from carbs? Craig's advised me against this from a resale value standpoint, and I agree. But if I were to keep the 2.4 in the car, I think MFI would be so kick-*ss. Of course, the carburetors are really dialed in as-is, so I don't really want to mess around... Oh, when weather improves, I'll snap some photos of the door VIN/safety sticker for you, with a ruler held up, so you can confirm measurements already provided by others in your thread. How's the sticker replication coming for you?

-duc

(I actually bought a /6 3.2 project some years back in CA. Stored it at a friend's place for a few months, and before it was shipped up here, I got an offer I couldn't turn down. I guess that doesn't count, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

That looks like my friend Steves car, I didn't know he was selling it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Congratulations, have fun, it's a nice car. That Boxster behind it has a 996 motor in it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Yup, Steve's car. Doh! I forgot to ask him for a ride in the Boxster - I think he said it was 300-330hp, w/ the extra tweaks. Must be a heck of a ride.

Thanks, Bob. I drive my 914s whenever I can, rain, shine, snow, whatever. Just not ice. If it lessens the offense, I do POR15 all rust-prone, harshly-exposed surfaces (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Did the turn signal buckets arrive in good shape?

Steve told me he was looking for around $20K for the Boxster. It was back from the detailer today - looked really good (from where I was standing). Black also.

He also has a clean, white Speedster replica for sale, if anyone is interested. $9.5K, IIRC.

Craig can connect you if you're interested.

Oops, sorry, my bad, wrong black Boxster. I shoulda known, his has different wheels on it. Hope he's not selling all his Porsches. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I better give him a call.
