An excellent 74 914 3.2 very nice conversion with Patrick Motorsport engine, leather interior. This will be the donor car for a transplant into a 75 914 2.0 4 cylinder.

Nice looking 914. Why seperate the motor from it?

And a Rennshifter? Looks like a nice car. I was also wondering why a donor? Got a bad hell hole?

Isn't this the car that was on eBay a couple of weeks ago with a Buy-It-Now of $22,800?. Only bid to $13,600. Looks and sounds like a nice conversion.

Lots of goodies to make it a donor car?!?!?

How much for the roller?

lets see a really clean '74 switched back to a 4 = 8-9 k easy, and convert a 75 or 76 to a six goes from maybe a 5-6 k car to 12-13k car = money way ahead.

just a possibilty

Ok, so the only idea here is to bring a 74 back to a stock 4 as it is worth more than a 75-76 stock 4?

I can't see the logic still.

Of course, some people just like to change things and that is login in itself.

Someone got a six laying around? Talk nice to Craig and he might, mind you might just know someone who can throw in another six instead of the 2.0-4. ......Since it'll be all apart anyway.

His reserve was $18,900. If thats what it sold then according to your numbers you lose money. Unless time/labor is free.

i doubt it sold for 19k, and the figures i used are prolly no where near accurate. clean nice cars are going for alot more than i can believe. craig isn't knew to this and i'm sure he isn't gonna lose any money on this deal. i bet he has a buyer for both cars, and he won't be losing money on either deal.

Correct he isnt "knew" at this. Nobody would drop that kind of cash without a plan. It just fun guessing whats going on isnt it

I no you new what i ment!

For sure Craig knows what he's doing, so there's a good reason. Curious.
And now he's got a buzz going about it. Genius! Kinda like McCain's VP choice creating a media frenzy.

That car sounds like a sweet car. I'm interested to see what all becomes of all of this.

Craig has all the cool toys

Heading north on Friday to see the transplant doctor. Pics to follow.
CCLINOUTOFHERE

gee, i'd like to look at that car. maybe both of them. i've never driven a car with a 3.2 in it. yet...

Heading out early this morning. The girls are all lined up checking out the action.
There is Kevin checking out the cars.
CCLINBACKTOCAMP

Which one is Kevin??




Sorry K, couldn't resist.
Looking forward to the rest of the story.

Maybe someone is just buying the engine to put into their late model car?

the 5 lug look is growing on me.

Dang Kevin,

If'n I knew you were heading down, I woulda asked you to grab my bumper.

Gary I brought your bumper up with me to Kevins. Kevins is the whiteface
Hey Kevin I have a Carrera front suspension"complete" at CAMP.
Plus a set of 5 Lug 16x6 Fuchs with new tires.
CCL

Sweet!

Kevin's not seen my ride yet - might sell him on the 5 lug look some more.

24 hrs complimentary storage on front bumpers and tops gary. they're here and waiting for you. give me a call/leave message to arrange retreval. i'll be gone after 8am.

let's see...5 lug conversion or a paint job...better roll the fenders before i paint..."i'll take paint for $3k alex".

k

and they're off to lake stevens.

Is your car running ? I thought it had an issue ?

Kevin That 4 cylinder motor will be for sale.
Maybe we can make a deal.

Work began yesterday. The suspension swap is taking some time. Nice alum cross membered carerra stuff on the blue car going into the yellow one. Stock 914-4 redrilled stuff all going into the blue car. Yellow car will even get the vented rear rotors now. Both with working E-brakes even!

More from the swap...

Small crack in a weld on the muffler, easy fix.

Engines still in the cars. Hopefully pulling them today...

Last one for now.

i don't think i can afford the 2.0 with l-jet and all that would be included.

...yeah! Either that, or triple-post at least!

I don't think it is going to change anything by saying it three times

It worked for Dorthey:

The 2.0 L-Jet is a nice engine. I drove that back up from Kevins. Lots of power for 2 liters.

Dan i tried calling you last evening 'bout 6ish to see ifn' i could come by and take a look see and shoot the chit, no answer.

Why are you doing this swap?
Is the blue car lacking something? paper? to much rust???

Rich

Not my car Rich, but after seeing both cars the owners yellow 914-4 is simply a better car. Both are nice examples of 914's, but the blue one has had AC in it at one time and a couple of repairs done to it. The yellow 4cyl is much more original and the owner has spent time and money making it really nice. Just wants more power.

To whoever picks up the blue car, they'll be getting a great start onto what ever way they want to go. It's going back to Camp 914 as a roller and the engine/trans seperate.

Oh Troy, did you try my cell? I'm working on both cars everynight this week. Swing on by.

I thought the L-jet only came on the 1.8

it did. but there no reson you cant swap it onto a 2.0.

I think the '76 912E had a type IV 2.0 with L-jet.

Jim Chambers - where ya been?!!!

After pulling the engine the other night and splitting the tranny to replace a RMS, I noticed this.

Lucky to have caught this now. It'll take a little doing to fix it.

3.2 liters of fury!

Roller is back to Kevins this evening and then back to CAMP914 soon after. Owner decided to leave the external oil cooler set up with lines in the blue car. This is a great donor car for another six engine. The work is already done.

This exhaust is going out to be installed.
