Not sure if I ever posted in this section, so here is my 914-6 tribute. 1971 based on a 1.7, now has a 3.2L with a 915 trans, boxster front brakes, Boges up front and Konis out back. Steel flares, maxilite wheels and tons of fun.Click to view attachment

Well I *still* have not gotten back out on the track, but I have been gently 'testing' the car around the canyons here, and it's running great. The only major task left to be track-ready is installing the new fire system, which I already bought but is still in the box.

Looking Good!

I don't talk about my car at school, but the 'secret' of my 914 has slowly been getting out...

A fellow undergrad reached out to take some photos of my car.
All credit goes to @kate_chrystal_photography, they did a great job!
I don't use Instagram but I think with this link you should be able to find them.


Here are a few so you can get the gist of it.

My previous 914. I wonder where it is now?

After looking at several disassembled and rusty 914's, a friend alerted me to this 74 1.8 in Tennessee. Body looked straight and could tell the "hell hole" damage was minimal. A good, original solid car even though it's not yet a runner.
It's a runner!

This is my 1973 1.7 L that had the 916 front and rear fiberglass bumpers. This car is extremely rust and will just be used as a parts car.

My vote for cotm

Awesome

A young photographer asked to borrow my car to take some pics. I thought they came out nicely!

Made some progress getting this one on the road. Last registered in 1990.
Full suspension rebuild, brakes, wheels, etc....

Looks good! Nice project.

@campbellcj One of the best looking 914's of all time. Do you find that muffler restrictive? I think we may have talked mufflers before...

Greetings all!
Just joined, as of yesterday I am a first time 914 owner. 1974 1.8l. I’ve owned several other Porsches, VW, BMW, Audi’s. Worked as a mechanic way back when, been shade tree in it for over 40 years. Look forward to learning about this great little cat.

1975 1.8L, almost 100k miles, it was a demonstrator, I bought it for ~$5300 about 47 years ago. Always maintained. New rubber all around strengthened and quieted the ride. New tires. Engine and tranny are strong. Solved a fuel leak years ago, now the problems are electronic ground faults and rust. Love my 914!

@Justinp71 Thanks much for the kind words! The car runs fabulously with this Dansk/PMS RSR muffler except it sometimes bogs a bit at low revs which I think's mainly cuz my carbs are set up for open megaphones. It's a heavy SOB but looks and sounds very Porsche-like and I love it. That said the car pulls noticeably harder and sounds even better with the megaphones... I have only ever dynoed it w/ open pipes so no hard numbers.

In the older Rennsport shot it had an early-gen M&K which I still have in storage. It's way lighter and sounds really throaty but I currently prefer the Dansk overall. Previously I had a Triad for a short time as well as a 1-out Dansk.


Here's another angle from that same spot on Piuma, one of many fun but kinda sketchy roads around here

Hi all

I am new to the forum and have very recently purchased a 1972 1700 fuel injected 914. I am very lucky to get this one as although it looks ratty paint wise, it is exceedingly solid and has lots of money spent by previous owners. This is a dream come true for me. I am currently awaiting new seat covers , carpet set and steering wheel restoration kit but will be out enjoying this at the earliest opportunity. I have had VW Beetles, Camper and currently also own a 1967 Fastback.

Thanks for looking
Chris

This looks fantastic, love the look ofcthe car and bet that exhaust sounds great, awesome car.
Chris

Wow, 47 years of ownership, that is amazing. You've done well keeping in such great looking condition, looks great on the Lemmertz wheels too. I am jealous of your crack free dashboard too.
Chris

Hi from a fellow Newbie, both to this site and the world of 914 ownership, your car looks to be in great condition . Love the Riviera wheels I have them on my VW Fastback although I have strippedcthd black paint from the spokes. I am learning much about these too.
A dream come true.
Chris

Hey,

I found and bought this "tribute?" Gulf Oil Porsche in Coarsegold, CA. It is my first 914. At least it used to be a 914. I know, the front end is enough to get me banned from this site. Came with a ton of extra parts and extra transmission. Why this car? Because the builder of this car put his heart and soul into creating it. The chassis has near zero rust (hell hole was a heaven hole). Never seen a track day. Pretty much everything you can do a 71 914-4 has been done and more. Best of all, it is street legal and currently registered. The rear bumper was for DMV reg. I don't like it. I was told it weighs just over 1200 lbs.

After my first test drive, I understand why Porsche limited engine output to 85 hp. The cornering ability gives the driver a sense of invincibility. The 901 trans leave much to be desired. That's the craziest shift pattern ever.

Wife isn't happy AT ALL. lol

Hi folks!

My name is Pete, and I’m the proud owner of a quite rare gem: the Very Last 914-6 ever built at the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen (serial number 9141430443, according to the 914-6 registry).

This car is in pristine, super-preserved condition. It spent most of its life in Japan as part of a private Porsche collection, starting in early 1977, and has now lived in sunny Miami for over a year.

It’s a truly special car—so much so that it has never even been presented at the Porsche Museum.

I wanted to let you all know that tomorrow (Thursday, January 16th), it will be up for auction at Mecum.

Here’s the link to the listing:
https://www.mecum.com/lots/1132799/1971-porsche-914-6/

If you’ve been looking for a unique piece of Porsche history, this is your chance to own it. Don’t miss out on this iconic car!

Best regards,
Pete
