Another site I belong to had a thread about Richie Ginther and someone asked what happend to his 914's. His shop was in Culver City Ca. I think I've seen photos of a -6 that has been restored and the owner drives it in vintage touring events.
Anyone know anything? Here his is with EFR at the wheel.... Attached image(s) |

I bought a new porsche in Oct. of 1983 and I aways had It serviced by Bob Hindson's Shop. When I first started going there he had a white race car that he was racing in vintage races. He told me it was a 910 but I don't know if it wasn't a 917-10. I wasn't that knowlegable . It was a Can Am car for sure. I don't recall any markings on the car at all. There was a vintage race in Kansas City in July of 1984 or 1985 which he drove it in along with a handful of other Can Am cars and it is a memory that is vivid today. The Can Am cars were so incrediably fast and Bob's car was the quickest for sure. As he would come out of very slow left, definetly a first gear corner, and accellerate up the hill the tires wer still breaking lose going in to 3rd gear nd maybe forth and then they came back down the hill and the sound of the fast downshifting is like it happened this morning. Anyway bck on topic. Shortly after this the next time I was in for service he had sold this white car and was restoring a orange 914 . I didn't ask about it but He had in the special spot where the previous white car was. We did visit little bit about the car he sold. After he sold that car it's value increased about 4 fold in a little over a year. The orange car that he was working on I believe is this 42 car. I think this picture is a good candiate for garage art. |
