Long story short I get a call Thursday about a track / AX car that has been sitting for a while in storage and the owner is ready to sell. It doesn't run and the wheels are "locked". I made the deal Friday and brought it home (used wheel jacks to get it out of the storage unit). I spent Saturday morning with my father in-law messing with it and fixed the fuel leak at the carb, replaced the battery. got the e-brake cable to release and well, took it for a spin (or two) around the block.

So it has a 2.7 /4 engine, 911 SC front suspension, steel flares, adjustable Koni's, welt sway-bar...blah blah blah..... and it looks kick ass. The PO had owned it since 1989 and had all this work done between 90-91. I love the car, but I can't keep it so I sold it to a friend of mine today. I have mixed feelings about letting it go, but at least I know I will be able to drive it ever now & then. And before anyone says anything yes I know I have a sickness, but I am thinning the heard. I sold the Blue bomber Thursday and I have a few people interested in the yellow 73 so that means I will be down to just 4 of them instead of 7.

Here are a few pics from yesterday after washing 3 yrs of dust and mouse crap from it and going on a test drive. I will post more pictures of the engine later.

WOW

Nice shape and color. Too bad mine isn't some other color other than black.

Are those bumpers metal?

If so, somebody with an early /6 might be willing to pay you good money for the rear bumper ...

Hm! What's special with the bumper?

1970 - one year only. Sharp creases near plate instead of smooth curve.

Nope they are fiberglass.

Garold,
Wow, 2.7/4cyl. I am impressed with that big-4. Not many around.
At the Woodward Dream Cruise I parked next to a 1974-LE (real one) painted British Racing Green with a 2.7/4 motor and boy did it sound good. When he fired up that motor, it gave me chills down my leg. It was built & owned by Tim Pott of Eurotech Motors in AA. (see photo, Mr. Bowlsby, real LE, in Green Drag)
Garold: (7) 914's we all want to grow up to be just like you.
Tom

Tom it is a high rev motor for sure. I found a invoice for the motor from 1990. The PO paid $4576 back then for it. It was shipped from Martin's European Parts Warehouse in Redondo Beach CA. Anyone heard of them? I would like to find the build info on it if possible. I wouldn't think that they would have any info, but you never know.

Orange you glad you bought another 914?
It must be your loyalty to the current 914 race livery that drove the decision to sell it?

Very cool, and I still like those RSR look front valences!

Nice Garold!

Tom... so that's Tim's car. Very cool.

Well that and having no job.

Holy crap, Garold!! That's gorgeous!!!

I might be wrong, but I believe it was part of EMW (european motor works) back in the day?
They had Red Lion (storefront) on 190th st. & machine shop outback or around the corner red brick building , if memory serves me lol ! , I left Redondo bch. in 95' .
I think martin is Les Martin ? , you might give Jorge at EMW a call and ask him ? ,
I hope this helps Bill D.

Thanks Bill.

Nice score, too bad you couldn't keep it. You need an flared orange car.

Well..... guess who bought this car....... Yep Me!!!!!!!!!!!! I sold it to a buddy of mine last year. He spent some time sorting a few issues out and has not really driven it. He has a Ghia choptop project he is working on and decided to sell the 914. Asked me first if I would be interested and well hell yes I am.

So the deal is done and it is mine. Now I have a to find someplace to put it.

Its a keeper.... until you find another one.

2.7L FOUR? That thing must be nasty. If you ever drive it by my neck of the woods let me know. I'd love to see it.

Man that is seriously orange. I think you need to work some more black into that bad boy to offset it. Of course that's just me I love Orange & Black.

Add some black! Just in time for Holloween!

Nice score, Garold!

Nice G!

You have a lot of 914's !

will work on that next year. for now need to get he brakes bled and few other little things.

Is there an "intervention" in your future?

If I had the $$, I'd buy it and put a big "SF" in black across it. Black and orange = Go Giants!

Is that the one we are cutting up next week?


Congrats!
