I bought this 914 in 07 or 08 (from hars914) in New Jersey. It was built by Rich Johnson (a914guy) a long time ago

I traded it to the guy that was working on my 914-6GT. I tried to buy it back a few times with no luck. He finally decided to sell and now it's back in the Carr Garage

Thanks to Paul (URY914) for his help, Truck & Trailer to get it back to Tampa today.

I hope this will be a Short Build as the Body work is done & it has ZERO Rust. The Full Cage & body strengthening are done. I have a 2.8 Twin-Plug 300+HP Engine ready to go in and probably have 90% of the Parts to put it together

Back in 07

Welcome back!

I knew you couldn't stay away for long. Can't wait to see the car in person, T.C. Maybe at the next Tropical Ramble?

Thats a great looking platform!

I know where you got that from, at least Orlando wasn't too far away

Welcome back to the fold!!

Here's the 2.8 Twin-Plug that is ready to go in! Zero Mile 300+HP

But when I 1st got it in NJ, was a Heck of a Trick. Temps in the low Teens, had a Cold-Air Intake on the Truck which was forcing super cold air into the motor which then didn't want to run, pulling a trailer in the Snow & Ice! Dang!

Post lots o pic of the build ... What color?

Trans & gearing plans?

I'm looking forward to URY & I resuming our Domination of the Local A/X Scene. He will have me on weight ( But this car is no heavyweight) & I will have the HP.

I will be doing A/X, PCA Track events and terrorizing the Neighborhood on the Street

That engine sounds like a perfect match, and a lot of fun, in that car:)

URY Transport Services
The guy to call (or PM) for all your 914 trailing needs in Florida.

I told T.C. that this one was about the 13-14 914 that I've had on my trailer and half of them have been his.

Trans? - the car was supposed to come with a Tranny ( of unknown origins), but I may negotiate that out and go with a known rebuilt Dr Evil 901/RennShift Combo. I like 901's and they are Cheap - if you know how to shift them, DoubleClutch, Heel&Toe, you are OK. I have tried Shorten Gears before & that is fine at A/X, but they kill me on the Track at Sebring. Will probably just live with Stock Gears.

Colors - I'm only thinking of 2;

One would be Tangerine (the car was Originally Tangerine) & a Clone of a Brumos Car - the one Paul Newman Wrecked (Bob Snodgrass & I were Good Friends). but there are a lot of Tangerine Brumos Cars (Real & Clone) out there!

Or Option 2 - Go Yellow with the Mineret/Palm Tree Theme of this 911 RSR - One of Tampa's most recognizable Features is this Building at the University of Tampa

I Know

Meh. Carbureted.

EDIT: or did I speak too soon...I don't see a fuel rail but now I think I see injectors. Hell with it, not the first time (or the last) I display my ignorance.

Did you sell the 911?

Frustrating I've had so many Deals fall through (No Money, No Shows, Low-Balls, the last guy after he said was going to buy it, said he didn't like the Color)

A problem did come up with the Mileage that scared a few people off, but we came up with the Answer today. The Guages were ReBuilt 18 Years ago at 94,000, 10 Years ago the Mileage was 95,000, 8 Years ago the NM DMV Recorded the Mileage at 99,000 - the Car showed 96,500 when I bought it and shows 98,800 a Year later. What seems logical is that 8 Years ago at Registration the Car reached an age where the Odo was Exempt, they wrote in 99k and so it mis-leads everyone. Let's face it, I know the car had sat for a lot of years and runs Great and if someone was going to play Shenanigans with the Odo, they wouldn't Re-Set it back 4,000 Miles they would set it back 40,000!

While I was stopped at a light I had some dipshit ask me if it was a X 1/9!!!

Punk!

So,
If you plan to run this in autox, along with Paul, how will you get your car there?

Does paul have a trailer that can take two cars at a time?

Rich

I am sorry - but anyone other than a hard core concours guy that worries about mileage on an old/heavily modified car doesn't have a clue. Jeez.


Coooooooooooooooooool 914!

I'll drive my car there!

No windshield?

It's got a Ginther Windscreen - jeez Motorcycle Riders don't have to wear Helmets down here!

All I can see wrong is that you store parts in your fridge and not beer.

T-Stat went out on that Mini-Fridge & it's Storage only - I can't get rid of it, the Racing Stickers on it are worth more than the Fridge - Beer is in the other Fridge 7 Steps Away

Hoo boy. Megaphones on that, on the street... Yeah folks are gonna love you!

Very nice TC Maybe next year you will take a 914 to a 914 Ramble.

That will be a beast!

I like the palm tree and building theme.

Can't wait to see and hear it.

John

That is one part of the Plan! Wind in my Hair (& not from jumping out of a Perfectly Good Plane!)

Awesome looking project! Keep the pics coming.

If I go Yellow, I already have the Matchbox Car to Show Off

I think I would be money ahead to buy a plane ticket to FL if you ever had a garage sale. Wow. Cool stuff.

I got rid of 90% of what I used to have. There are Members of 914World all over North America with pieces of my former Stash

Brumos livery has been done (and done and done and done) I like the yellow with camel skyline idea!

Pauls trailer looks kinda heavy.

Brumos livery has been done (and done and done and done) - But it still looks awesome

How about a pink pig tribute? You either love it or hate it....

Agreed!
And good to see you back in the saddle.

TC my vote is yellow but I'm biased Good looking chassis she will be great when done. Good luck with the build.

TC... Looks great!

If you need a renshifter, I know someone who may have one for sale. I'll check and get back with you if your interested. PM me.

Thomas

My Lean towards the Brumos Livery is this car was Originally Tangerine & I grew up with & was great friends with Bob Snodgrass




Never Going to Happen - I'm really only considering the 2 Options right now




Thanks Buddy - I could use some of the Uber Nice Parts I sold you


Thomas, Once I sell the 911, I will be able to purchase some things I need, but let me know as I Re-Listed the 911 on eBay

bad ass black! ( I like the Brumos color scheme, tho )

I understand the significances of Brumos but I personally prefer to have a different look that sets me apart. That being said if you have 914.043.0315 or 914.043.0705 then you have to do the Brumos livery.

either way just get out there and race

You need glasses.
