How's this for originality?! The VERY FIRST 914-6 to come off the production line, only 6,237 miles on it (when this picture was taken in 2011)! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) All OG, all matching numbers and found in a BARN! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I guess this would be VIN 9140430011 w/ engine 901.36 640 0001? Going to post this in the Originality section! Thought this was pretty cool and wanted to share.

Page 5: http://www.sportscardigest.com/porsche-rac...otos/?nggpage=5 Porsche Race Car Classic 2011 The inaugural Porsche Race Car Classic was held Sunday, October 16, 2011 on the grounds of the Quail Lodge in Carmel, California. The Porsche Race Car Classic 2011 honored Porsche cars from 1950-1965 and included purpose-built race cars and production cars with significant race history during that period. They were arranged in 18 groups, with each representing another step in Porsche’s march to the top ranks of the racing world. From Gmünd coupes to the 911–and everything in between–the show field at the Porsche Race Car Classic displayed a wonderful array of the finest examples from the German automaker. Among the highlighted cars were the following: - Pair of Porsche Typ 540 Aluminum Sport Roadsters - 1960 Porsche RS60 that was the overall winner at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1960 at the hands of Hans Herrmann and Olivier Gendebien - Porsche 718 Formula 2 and 804 Formula 1, both from the Porsche Museum - 1960 Porsche Carrera 2/2000GS GT Coupe from the Porsche Museum - Both of the 1963 Porsche 2000GS Carrera 2 GT Dreikantschaber in existence - Jerry Seinfeld’s 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.8 RSR - Jerry Seinfeld’s 1960 Porsche-Abarth 356B Carrera GTL driven in 1963 by Gewrhard Koch to class wins at Targa Florio and Nurburgring - 1961 Porsche-Abarth 356B Carrera GTL that place first in class at Le Mans, Sebring and Targa Florio - 1969 Porsche 911 GT factory rally car - Ex-Pete Lovely 1955 Porsche Cooper “Pooper” that Pete raced to five class wins and the F-Modified National Championship in 1955. - First Porsche 914/6 factory show car with only 6,237 miles - Prototype 911R that set world speed records at Monza driven by Jo Siffert, Rico Steinemann, Charles Vogele and Dieter Spoerry |

I'm surprised the Porsche Museum doesn't buy this car. Especially OG with 6 months worth of miles on it! To my knowledge, the only 914s in the museum are the quad headlighted 914-8 300bhp and a silver 1973 1.7. On display, anyway.
Interestingly enough, looking at the 916, the two that are in the States are here in FL. One was sent to Bumos from the factory and another resides here in FL. A guy I know married to a friend of mine was talking to me the other day about my two 914s and told me he had a 916 when they came out. I wonder if he acquired it from Brumos or if the other FL one changed hands to his at some point. I have a friend that has worked for Brumos for decades and is going to get me into their museum. I'm going to see if it's still there. Will also ask my mechanic Frank who was their chief Porsche mechanic and Service Manager then if he has knowledge about it. THAT would be one hell of a car to own! Especially since they didn't go into production or for sale to the general public! I would love to have a (proper) nicely done 916 conversion someday! |

If I am correct Porsche 914-4 #1 production car is on display at Porsche museum |
