In the process of selling my 914, I met Steve of Redwood City who said he's never been to a Club event. He mentioned that he appreciated the nice condition of my car and said that he had a 914-6 3.2 he'd like to show me some day.

Today was the day - what a beauty! Some first time events for me; first time I've seen:
- this factory color (Green Metallic),
- trick oil cooler for the 3.2,
-"Deep dish" 6x15" Fuchs - love those!
Plus you gotta love those flares!
Steve still has the original motor in a crate.
Please help me to encourage him to drive this car to the 2/25 914 breakfast in Santa Clara! Please no drooling!:D

That must be a LE, I have never seen one so tall and squaty

By the way that is a pretty good idea he has for a place to put a oil cooler. Beautiful Car!

Where's the green plaid seats?

Thats one of the clown cars

Nice clean looking car.

OOOOPS! Try this but check out the link too!

What happened to it? It's so squished!

Stunning. But I hope he's careful with it. There are a lotta zombie F/N morons out there aiming for it. Recently I was parked at a gas station putting air in a tire. Some idiot backed into my 6, caved in the door and tried to blame it on me. Deserved a good , but its useless - we're outnumbered.

Cool looking car and awesome color, but is the oil cooler really in a good location?

Hot air from the oil cooler gets sucked directly - into the cooling fan.

I was wondering about that too but forgot to ask. Apparently it stays cool enough though. AFAIK he's had no problems. Any comments Steve?

irish green!!! . hubba hubba!!! stunning!!!

Not Irish Green. The metallic ______ colors were only available on sixes.

Beautiful car!

well it sure looks like i.g. on my screen. the paint may be metalic but the tone is i.g. . much closer than say willow, zambezi, delphi, palma... hopefully the owner will show up. i'm looking at paint codes and it shows metalics* offered every year for 4s and some 6s, from 70 thru 76.

Thanks Tom for taking the pictures. Being a new member I'm just getting familiar with how to navigate around this website.

For those of you who have asked about the oil cooler location built right into the engine lid, this has proven to be an extremely effective way to keep the motor cool. Even in hot weather and putting the car thru its paces, the needle never gets beyond the mid-point in the temp range!

I'm all about maintaining the originality of the car as much as possible. That is why I still have the original engine crated and in safe storage. I also kept the original engine lid with all the OEM stickers. The one currently on the car is another one found and painted to match the car with the custom cut out with the same factory mesh grill for ventilation.

As Tom will attest, the engine bay is spotless and the motor does not leak a drop of oil.

If anyone is interested, a shop in Southern Cal did the
engine install including the custom oil cooler fabrication. Their website is supertecperformance.com.
