Interesting that Deman used a rear sway bar on the car (with old bushings) LOL.. new ones are white. I used to sell parts to Rick quite a bit back in the early/mid 90's. He put his Yellow car up for sale right after the Excellence feature.

B you're quite a CW after all...I had lost all hope...
Don't the euro lenses (on a USA car) just make you shudder?

Jeff,
Attend a Concourse with me some time. After seeing so many 914's built with incorrect parts.. you learn to appreciate STOCK.
I walked up to Dean Vanni's 914/6 at the Monterrey Historics and told him he had the wrong dash in the car (grain pattern was incorrect for a 1970 914) He wasnt happy ("but I bought it new from Porsche"... he said)
I know what it takes to do one "correct"
The EURO lenses dont really bother me considering the red ones are/where NLA.
Dont EVER ask me to pick a car apart (visually+verbally)

I think (almost sure) this 914-6 was for sale on evil-bay not too long ago. I don't know if it sold or not. Montreal is about a 3hr drive from here, been many times, cool place.

Thats a great idea Brad and I think you should offer a session at the next Concours for anyone interested. I am sure you would have several people interested in a BR pre-judging judging. We have much to learn...

I purchased the Orange 914-6 from Montreal. This is my first 914. I purchased it for less than what was posted and got an extra set of Fuchs with track tires and a racing seat too. Some of the cars I had looked at were $10-15k and poorly restored. I'm happy with my purchase and I feel it can only go up in value.
Where can I get the correct sway bar mounts?

you're a lucky man. let me know if you want to sell it!
I think brad was somewhat kidding about the swaybar bushings, you will be fine.
