I remember Garry Wigglesworth bringing that car down to our region's Chesapeake Challenge event and autocrossing it in the 80's. I don't think anyone really appreciated what it was back then. Any, yes, it would usually take FTD.
when Garry got it , it had had an engine fire....used up race car...sure is neat that it survived the 80s90s

"I have a914," Huffman offered.
"Me, too," Wigglesworth replied.
"Mine's a six."
"Mine, too."
"Mine's a GT."
Ding, ding, dizg. Wigglesworth loaded up his hvo
boys and headed dou:r to Alexandria, Virginia, to
photograph the car for his restoration project. He
found the GT untouched since a fire gutted it at a
Summit Point track eyent a I'ear and a half before.
"It still had fire extinguisher fluid on it," Wigglesrvorth recalls. "On the way home it occurred to
me that may'be I should just try to buy this car."

Thanks for posting Mark....nice piece of history.
I see the engine bay is white....does anyone know if most of the GTs were built from white 914 and then painted the livery color later
check out the sold 914s on the goodingco.com site

Great little car. I to remember when Gary Wigglesworth and son would show up at events. They drove it like it was meant to be driven. Gary was a fierce competitor back in the day.He was present for many years in SCCA solo world. After he passed I lost track of the car. I do remember he was quite pissed that I took FTD from him many years ago at Parade.

Jacques Duval is still alive, his son is a member here, and John Tripper @14carrot tried to get him to the 914 50th at Mont Tremblant this year but it didn't work out.
He was a French Canadian motorsports and auto announcer for years.
He also owned a 356B super90, 904, 906 and a 911TR back in the day, I bet in hindsight he wished he had of hung onto those cars.

It recently showed up at the South OC Cars and Coffee event, was wondering if it was a clone, but based off the pictures in the link you guys put up, this appears to be the real deal, note the wrinkle on the DS sail vinyl:

I think the car was at Pete Stout's "Rare Shades" event recently?
Here are some photos from the 2013 Daytona HSR event.

Replica built by Bob Bailey and friends... Bob was a codriver at Daytona. Co-drivers were Bob Bailey and George Nicholas.
Sixnotfour, Thanks for the response. Interesting. It is a good looking car.
I bet it won't clear $500k

Nice to see it back out and running around.
Gary and Gary Jr., always friendly and willing to talk to a young punk who knew enough about 914s to be dangerous. Loved watching that car run every chance I got to see it.
To hit a mill, a couple of special people will need to want this car.
Not seeing anyone take out a mortgage to buy it now.

Awww but that was a 916, technically a different animal. A 914-6 is a 914, a 916 while based on the 914 platform was not a 914 so it was the first million dollar 916, this could be the first million dollar 914.

And I am pretty sure at least one 914-6 GT has privately traded north of $1,000,000. It wasn't many years ago that I never thought I'd see the day, but RS 2.7 street car prices and various early race car prices eventually got me to rethinking that—as have prices for top "regular" 914-6s.
Cool thing about 914s is there are still four-figure project cars out there, and these cars are simple enough mechanically to be

Original 914/6 GT
VIN : 914 043 0032
Modified to GT in the factory customer sports department / Repair works in Zuffenhausen.
According to the official GT-list this Chassis-No. is the first of 27 factory built GT's. Well documented race and car history with plenty of photographs. The car is absolutely rust free, as it had been used until 1973 for racing only. The current owner (since 1980) has only driven it in summer. The body is 100% in the condition as built in 1970 by Karmann and Porsche.
The car was completely stripped in 1980 for condition checking, painted and re-assembled with all original parts. No re-painting since then.
The car runs perfect and has no flaws.
Plenty of race parts and accessories: 24 sets of transmission gears in original wood box, 4 sway bars with different diameters, set of Bilstein shocks, 2nd set of Fuchs wheels 8 and 9 ”× 15”
Price: € 490,000.00

Even the replicas look good. The paint job and dissimilar wheels balance the whole car. That's an art car more than any other 914 variant I've seen.
When Gary was alive he brought the car to the Hershey Porsche Swap Meet every year also Steve Limbert from Air Cool Racing who owns the Green Max Moritz GT also brought his and still does every year
So cool to see both GT’s at the swap meet

All sorts of 6 and 7 figure cars that are always in buy-sell Circles that are insulated from the public eye. It's usually when a Barrett, Russo, Mecum, Gooding auction broadcasts into our media streams when we catch a glimpse of the "Action". I still think that the guy who discovered the other Bullit car in a Baja California auto salvage yard found one the holy grails of Mustangs.
We might see the wealthiest Porsche collector nab the Daytona 24hr gt for $1.750M with all hammer fees in

Viewing is open tonight and will stop by on my way home from work. I will take some pics, but my camera lens on my phone is cracked so they won't be so gud.
I went and checked it out. Here are the pics.
A few more
This was fun crawling around the car. I wasn't going to open up the decklids and doors and all that, but there was someone there I was talking with and he was opening it all up - so I snapped as many pics as I could.
Last ones
Thanks Travis, great pictures brings back some great memories.
But crap, that 73-74 Signal Orange Ghia

Looks a lot like my wife's car when we first met.
I only had 45 minutes to take pics. There was a few other cars that I wanted to check out but spent all my time with this one. My admission pass is good through Sunday so I will probably go back and poke around some more. Only 150 cars there.
Going to Gooding and RM tomorrow. Cars at Bonhams were actually pretty disappointing. Some really crappy 914's at B-J.
That 914-6 was at the Rare Shades event in September in LA- lot of interesting 914's there in celebration of 9/14... Jeff Qwart had his nice 914-6 there as well.

Thank you for for the pictures! Some details I have been looking for close ups for a long time.
The engine shroud is interesting, the glass is roven, not uni-directional glass mat and it doesn't look as yellow as the aftermarket shrouds, the one pic it looks clear or gray resin.
That dizzy if OE is worth $10K alone, but it has a black cap so it could be aftermarket.
The intake manifolds look like they are 3 pieces.

Look like real 906 intake manifolds....soooo many cool parts on that car and it's period patina etc will make that price high to a collector.

Yes grey resin, so it is not a factory fiberglass part
