NICE collection.
Enjoy in good health.

I bet that orange car is faster than yours and has more cylinders ...

My track car sleeps with a 911 occasionally peeing oil on the rear trunk...

Or sleeping next to the drivers, waiting for more attention

When it's by itself, it loses.. fluids

That is the v8 isn't it?

That's the 914-8 built for Ferry Porsche's 60th birthday! It was down at Amelia Island last March and is great to see how it was made.

Our kids used to sleep with a couple rear engine brethren... but they've never met real celebrities!!

Ya, 8 cylinders.

You must really enjoy mowing the lawn??

No, that was the silver 914/8 car! The orange car was the test car that Piech drove for a while.

Just 914s on that side of the garage - boring cars on the other side.

Excuse the mess... She sleeps with T.C.

I want to play too, but the only pic I have is a drunken selfie...

though if I'm being truly honest, Huey has felt like an only child for the past few years since Papa Smurf has been spending all his nights at our mechanics shop...

I was hoping my Six would be sleeping with the C4S....but my wife is now talking about wanting an SUV, so the C4S may be gone before the Six gets to know her - (this is my old garage- sold that house and my new garage looks like crap. I have no photos of the C4S in the new garage.)

Well we have a carport so when in storage, the 914 has other roomies but at home it's Sara's DD.

I refuse to post pics of who my teener sleeps with. You guys are sick .

Mine doesn't get to sleep.

More of the same

The siblings all get along just fine together.

Hi Rob- Any chance you could post a close-up picture of your muffler, clamps and valance? I am heading that same direction I believe.....

Just come over and check it out.

8 yes, v no. It's a flat 8 3.0L 908 racing engine.

Gotta look close..........
Miss that little car.

Nice XK-140 in the middle

Could that be the entrance to the Manhattan garage of Jerry Seinfeld ?
Hosting the Porsche Museum 914 8 that appeared at Amelia ?

I must get around to dusting my garage.

Sweet Dreams.

Are my eyes just getting buggy or what's up with those front wheelwells on the orange car? They're looking kinda round to me...

So only one person arround here owns a lawn mower?

It is a flat 8Click to view attachment Click to view attachment

No it is at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta. They use to sit in the Classic Repair/Restoration area.Click to view attachment Click to view attachment Click to view attachment

The interior of the 914-8 will really make your eyes buggy. Click to view attachment

Its interesting that no one has ever built a tribute replica to this car......

Which is interesting because these were tribute cars when they were built.

Well.......flat eight Porsche engines ARE hard to come by.... the other eight cyl. engines, 1. have been done. 2. are water cooled. 3. have a kink in the middle.

Not too sure about the 'tribute' aspect of the original two cars.

My '74 sleeps with a '57 Double Door Bus.

Sleepin with big brother...

I had plans to do a copy of the silver 914-8, steel hardtop with a suby engine instead of the 8. Just to get the look of the car. But the shell I just purchased came with steel flares already installed so I have to go another direction. Maybe a "Huey" tribute car.

That is a GREAT idea...

Mine lives in the barn with its big brother Deutz :-)

No, your eyes are fine. The two 908-motored cars were made out of pre-production prototypes. (Similar to the infamous Number Four.) None of the panels are exactly the same as the production cars, all are slightly different. And that was before they modified the car to take the flat-eight engine.




The rumor mill says that there was one other 908-motored car built a couple or a few decades ago. I haven't heard of it in a long while though.

And since none of the body panels are stock, it would be tough to do a complete replica.

Before and after the garage extension & sale of KVW last year (looks like she's now for sale again on the UK eBay site with a steeler. So if any UK members want the real lowdown rather than the eBay blurb PM me)

The 911 is currently away so my donor car for the yellow -6 are having an extended sleep over with my brothers Cobra for the summer
