Interesting 916 trivia:
A friend of a friend who is German knows a lot about the 916, his dad had connections at Porsche and a friend who got one of the 11 made (only 1 made it to the US.) He told him most of them went to the Porsche family and their close friends.
His dad gave him the serial numbers of 10 of the 11 916's made: "9142330011 to 9142330020. Most cars have survived, probably the one of his colleague got seriously damaged and wasn‘t built up again.
He (his dad) said he thinks there were possibly more prototypes with powerful engines from race Porsches (908 etc.) but they may have switched engines on the same chassis. Maybe only „Brutus“ remained."
Might be useless information, but maybe someone here can use it.
Any member here who has a 916?

Full Version: Porsche 916
Very good accurate info, the damaged one was repaired though

I was shown one at Patrick Motorsports in April. It might still be there it looked like they were doing a bit of work to it. I can only afford to visit about once a year. I would really like them to do my interior. Of course I would end living in the car when my wife finds out the price.
Had an interesting encounter this weekend, took my big 6 up to my dad's house in Murrieta, near Riverside CA, he'd seen my car but not ridden in it so I went up. I get there and he says his neighbor is a 914 guy and has a couple in the garage.
Minutes later the guy pops out, as any of us would and is looking over my car and says, "I have a 916 in my garage" I'm thinking riiiiiight,
he tells me it has the steel roof, balsa reinforced hoods and the 100L gas tank. Now I'm curious, I asked to see it, but he was on his way out to run some errand or something with his wife and had to run.
I"m going to head back up there, literally to try to pin him down and take a look, there's some pretty obvious tells if it's a real 916 as it's far from the average 914 or 914-6 even.

Very cool, keep us updated if you are able.
There is a Yellow one here in NJ.
My brother visits a restoration shop here that has won Best of Show at Pebble many
times with a variety of vintage classics.
The clients there have unbelievable collections.
Two months ago he offered to drive a fellow home whos early Packard had
to be left at the shop.
When they arrived at the guys home (estate) he asked my brother if he'd like to see
three cars in the garage.
# 1 a 280 SL with 6000 mi. Perfect.
#2 a Porsche race car that my brother cannot remember the model
# 3 is under a cover..... the guy sayes it is a 916....my brother says ' my
brother (me) has one of those' ( a 914 6) thinking the guy is describing it wrong.
WRONG ! The guy then relates that this is not a 914 6 it is one of only
eleven cars made and is known as a 916 and was owned for decades by a female
member of the Porsche family.
It was won at a Gooding auction in the last year.
I don't know the VIN
I hope to see it soon.

The 916s did not have the 100L fuel tank or fiberglass hoods, this sounds more like a car with GT parts installed...interesting car non the less

Hey Glenn
Most likely #11
I'm going to call him to see if I can visit.
After my brother Tom got the story straight he asked the owner if he might
visit again with me. The owner was very open and inviting.
I will follow up.

Anyone here have an explanation why 916s have '33' in the middle of the VIN rather than '43' ?
Maybe like 911Ss are designated in the VIN with a 3 ? T is a 1, E is a 2, S is a 3

So we may have 3 916's here in the US? Knowing serious American car collectors, it does make sense.....love to hear the stories of how 2 got out of Germany......

"two in georgia

nice to see that car still survives.
have a copy of classic car i think it was with the story on it from the early 80s when it was still getting flogged around the streets in stockbroker london.

outside the batch of 11 916s?

It got rebuilt after the restoration.
I've got a nice picture my BIL took in the infield at Daytona in '71 I believe of Peter Gregg's silver 916. As noted, the only "official" one imported here.
The front fender warts really looked bad on that car as they had to be moved because of the flares... (but I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers)

My part of this is on hold.
I had a very nice conversation with the owner who is quite a Porsche enthusiast.
The car is away from home having some therapy.
Probably a month or more.

Years ago someone published their theory that 916s were made out of reject 914-4 bodies, this is false they were made from 914-6 bodies.

these are end of 1971 914-6 chassis numbers
@Gatornapper you were probably speaking to Steve Southard (he is a member here) and his car has GT parts and a steel roof. Like Brutus his car has a 914-6 VIN.

Also thought all 916's started life as 914-4's meaning they wouldn't have 914XXXXXX VIN's, correct?
Years ago someone published their theory that 916s were made out of reject 914-4 bodies, this is false they were made from 914-6 bodies.

I thought I remember reading an article years ago where George stated that his (not all) 916 had the signs that the type 4 engine mounts were removed from the chassis. Maybe I'm confusing it with something else but as I remember it, it was an article from a VW Porsche magazine.

Whats Going On with Brutus ?? last seen at Canepas in pieces ??
It got rebuilt after the restoration.
That is a curious comment. Does not sound like a compliment.
Who did the 'restoration' ?
and another visiting Paris and attending a show!Click to view attachment
I think you missed George's humor. I think that is his car.
Thank you George. We're all a bit jealous......

And where is this "blue room?" :confused:Was the inflatable spare part of original equipment?
This is the "Test Mule" as used by Porsche in the early 70's. It is a 1970 914-6 by VIN so it is a year earlier than Brutus. It is not the white 916 in the UK.

There will be a feature article about this car in an upcoming issue of Panorama. The article was written earlier this year and the photo shoot was done at Amelia Island in May.

“got a nice picture my BIL took in the infield at Daytona in '71 I believe of Peter Gregg's silver 916. As noted, the only "official" one imported here.”
Interesting. Brings back a memory for me - mid seventies or early eighties, in Jax doing something, stopped by Brumos Race shop just “because”. they let me wander around and the silver 916 was just there, parked with several other semi- forgotten cars. Got to touch it! Remember it s being in “driver” condition at the time.
In the doctor collection now?
