It was hard to take a bad picture, neat back drops everywhere.

Loved seeing the 914 race cars and the 916.

One guy looking at the 916 said, nice fake, almost perfect....LOL

The Lufthansa 6 and the Ginther 4 are epic!

Konrad

This "Fake" that was special ordered by Frau Piëch, ex-Otis Chandler, ex-Matsuda Collection, and today in new ownership. Right on to that windbag of an opinion, guess he will never know what he was eyeballing.
Patrick Long and staff staged this yellow beauty just in front of the brick wall , alone by itself without any fanfare nor signage...to be the "Wallflower" . Most of us here with the keen eye, or others curious enough to ask around for answers could figure that this one of the limited 916 run.

Glad I ran into you in front of the Gulf 917 right before I left as I thought that 916 was a replica until you told me. Had to go back and shoot some photos before taking off

Margie Smith-Haas, a San Diego race driver who raced in Le Mans in 1984 & 1985 among others, brought her original 914-6.

I met Gaspar last year at Luft 5 he come from back east (maybe New Jersey?) I lost his card! Had a nice Yellow 914 last year and this flared gold one was stunning. Saw a couple pictures posted already but not one of the engine, a twin plug.

Never cared for the Flag mirrors on the 914; but these do look hot on your white gt flared car !!

There is also some great photo's and event coverage over on Bring A Trailer.

If you want to know the story behind each car on display, go to http://luftcars.com.

I suggest you check out car #394 for entirely selfish reasons

HA, even that site missed the 916

Thanks Marty! It was not my choice but I live with it as the flares, paint, and mirrors date back to about 1995 and I can't think of an easy way to change it. Imron paint holding up well! I did have a guy stop by and he really wanted to buy it.

Found it. Would love to see someone do this style on a 914.

Your car looked great!

1990s paint, even here in CA, was really good stuff—my old catalyzed acrylic enamel job from ~1991 was holding up beautifully in terms of the paint, but the prep under it just wasn't straight enough. Ah well.

About those mirrors: Have you thought about going 1974 RSR style, as seen on the driver's door of this car? You won't see as much (though I ran this actual car, and found the mirror useful "enough"), but they might cover up the mounts for the 1980s flag mirrors, and they would look period correct...

Herley reunited with the car that he won the championship in in 1971

The Real 916

My son Ryan's car, a four year father/son project. Many 914world vendors used. Good clean fun and we had a blast at Luft!

^ This car is beyond cool, and it was great to see you and meet Ryan, even if only too briefly. If ever you can be tempted up to Marin for a drive and some lunch, let me know!

Leichtbau = lightweight design

That is Awesome....

Thank you Pete for the kind words, and invitation. Back at you, if you find yourself on the Peninsula, please stop by.

Hi Lucky9146,
Thank you so much for posting some awesome photos of my 914-6 which I've owned since 1976. It was so great attending my 3rd Luft and I was so amazed at all of the 914s that came and getting the opportunity to meet some of the owners. The entire event was so beautifully done and having so many 914s on display was awesome. We hope to see many more 914s and meet some new 914 friends at the WCR. Will you be there? I'm new to 914WORLD. Thanks again!

What's the exhaust set-up? Looks cool.

Konrad

Luft 6 was great and very overwhelming. It was great to see all the 914’s in one place and also some scattered around. I didn’t see anyone post the 914 truck.

Also thanks to EVERYONE who has posted so many awesome photos for all of us to see....

Such a super photo.......now, can you imagine what it would have looked like if the driver had on some of those fake halloween fangs.........

That's pretty cool! Didn't know someone had done that. I think I would have been temped to go to Lotus Europa way and cut out the whole inner steel, brace it, and install a removable undertray and full hinged rear-decklid.

But the photo below really made me physically cringe...serious cranium-buster...

Absolutely amazing car! Saw it at Luft!

The ass on this car is absolutely viscous except............it needs two round exhaust pipes, not one oval. Otherwise, wow.

We were shooting for a bit of Porsche 550/356 GT vibe on the exhaust tip

I...am... in... awe...! Just a beautiful car!!!

How long have you had him/her? What do you love about it? What is it's history? What's his/her name? Do you have more pictures???

Some more photos to kick-off WCR weekend -
