Richie Ginther's 914 race cars, where are they?, Anyone know? Options

[URY914]

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....

Answering a couple of questions:
The cars had the early R 7x15 wheels with all the backspace to the back. Those wheels are very rare and expensive today. Since the cars were delivered with either 14 or 15 wheels you could run either one up to an inch wider than delivered. SCCA's GCR's (general competition rules) allowed that.
They also allowed windshields to be removed and replaced with a windscreen. BUT the windscreen had to start where the old windshield started and couldn't extend beyond the rear of what it was replacing. Hence the long windscreen that was on the cars. It came rearward to the point where the windshield met the top. Again per the GCR's. Not only that it looked cool.
SCCA racing back then was all about reading between the line of the GCR's. If you could do that you could gain an advantage.
As far as the removal of the windshield it does lower the weight and it does cut down on frontal area. I don't know how much but I can relate some noticeable results that occurred. The first 914 I ran at Daytona in 1976 lost about 5 MPH on the back straight when we put the headlights up for night driving. You needed all the light you could get then because none of the track was lit up like today. Also there was no chicane in the back straight so you lost a bunch of time on the banking. Then the rules got a bit more liberal and we could put headlights in the front spoiler behind lexan. See picture of lights at Daytona in 1979
