Red, #58 looks like it took a hit in the right door. Ouch! No side beam in there.

The funny thing is that with Steve, if you took a picture 30 years ago and then again today the car would look exactly the same.
Cool pics Steve. |

I brightened up that fist pic and got rid of the red tint. The results are startling!

That isn't Sebring. The drive over bridge that you see in the last pic was not built at Sebring then. If the Citrus reigon put it on it would be some where around Orlando. Steve, call Steve Dagley, he'd know. He was probably there. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Paul |

Maybe someone from Citrus Region PCA will tell us where Citrusfest was held back in the '70's.
I have some more great 914 race car shots from the '77 12 Hours of Sebring but I don't know how to make them smaller than the size I posted here. I have them all on a disc. Should I go ahead and post them anyway? |

Check out the previous photo of the LE just to the right of the carrera 6 in what looks like the same color scheme.

Yep, but a 75 or 76. I wonder if it had the stainless rockers? They were really nice. I imagine though that it is just a repaint, since the originals would not have had time to rust out yet. Besides, the stainless might not have been available at that time.

I joined PCA in 1974 with my 914. I just remember people tallking about back in 1970 when the 914 first came out that there were discussions about not recognizing the 914 as a Porsche until they realized that the 356 had a similar background. It still took a while for the Porsche purests to recognize the 914. Now most of them have either had one, have one or want one.
