Great photo , is it from the old porsche factory magazine, Christophorus ? or road and track ?,
I heard about the article that sowed this but have never seen it Thanks.

Lookit the tach!

Hey, I have that combo gauge!

Crap, he is clearly visually 100MPH faster than mine since it will only has 150MPH on it.

Love them headlights!!!!

You will notice the 'KPH' on the speedo perhaps.

Crap!~!! I stand corrected again and am in a visually superior advantage.

Should have left well alone you metric boys.

And I reflect, them head lights are the BOMB!!!! Now that would be a sweet upgrade.

I may be the only one that thinks that those headlights are sinfully ugly....

Zach

could be... but if you have that 908 sitting behind you...

WHO CARES!!!

I like the fact that the driver has no helmet on with one wheel almost off the ground. I would wager a tidy sum that the seatbelt is nicely stowed as well.

Who cares when you have the 908 behind you!

so where can i get a 908 motor? LOL

i wish they werent so ungodly expensive...
neat swap.. and no radiator required LOL

Little red car says GGGGGGrrrr. Blink blink.

I have a distorted view of beauty and I think my views are the right ones. Remember, we are the ones who like 914s and the rest of the world dosen't!! Of course, there is an Edsel club to.LOL

I think I just scared myself just now.

It might be my imagination, but is there a nice smokey haze coming off the back tyres? I think the headlights are cool looking. But, I would rather have a GT kit for my next 914 headlights....

I'd say you're correct

other nice detail: see the license plate, mounted with a black tape

Is this an optical "dillusion"...or are the front wheel well openings round...unlike the production squarish shape??

its a proto... they were round

Jeff(sixnotfour),
The pic and article are from "PORSCHE SPORT 76/77". The photo credits are given to "AUTO MOTOR und SPORT". No date is given for the reference to the German periodical.
BTW, the "PORSCHE SPORT 76/77" is a soft cover book by Joe Rusz. There are 12 pages given over to the 914 and its varients(i.e. show cars, /6 pick-up , the 914/8, and a brief history of the 914.) There are some unkind remarks made regarding the 914, but given the era in which it was published, it shouldn't surprise the reader. Interestingly, the 924 is introduced in this same publication and as the informed know, had even less Porsche content than did the 914.

How much did the one go for at the PelicanParts auction? The one in the foreground?

i think it was either Arm, Leg or first born.....


BTW the 908 was only a 3L?

908 Coupé and Spyder: 2997 ccm - 350 HP - 200 mph
908/2 Spyder: 2997 ccm - 350 HP - 180 mph
908/3 Spyder (1970/71): 2997 ccm - 350 HP - 180 mph
908/3 Spyder Turbo (1977-1982): 2140 ccm (6-Zyl) - 540 HP - 206 mph

Click to view attachmentSince we're doing engine transplants, 908 3.L to a 914, how about the reciprocal, my 1.7 in this?

Anybody notice the jack point?
