In September 2014 I was watching a video of my friend’s race car on youtube and off to the side was this video (Two Abandoned Cars 1970-1973 Porsche 914 1.7) I usually check them out to see if it is a 914/6.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRMaKvWTTvQ Halfway thru the video he approaches the 2nd car and right away I notice the marker lights on the roof. In case you didn’t know they were used at night for the crew to identifying the car and also to signal the pits from the car before radios were affordable. The best part (at 5:20) Charles says: "Took this Porsch and built it for racing, totally destroy the value of the car when you do this.." |

WOW, I worked at South Point Motorcars in Sarasota when I was in JR College. It was around 1982, I don't remember ever seeing this 914 though. It must have been a partial sponsorship to get parts for cost. Very cool Save ! South Point was a small Porsche + Audi/Mazda dealer back then. I used to prep the cars when they came in off the truck. Fun times back then. I used to make sure there was always a Porsche out back in the detail shed at lunch time so I could sneak out and drive it around the neighborhood ! They are still in business but moved up the road and on the other side of the street, much bigger now.
