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....

Who is talking you out of this?

Though I have to say, I appreciate how your car is a resurrected ITA racer from the 80's. That would certainly be lost.

Though I have always like the Ginter built cars since I read "Driving In Competition".

Greg, I have upfixin volume 4. It has Part I, Part II, and the article where they put the #30 on the shaker table. It's pretty light on content honestly. Maybe can scan later today or tomorrow.

Was that for me? It's Foley, he says my chassis is too nice to cut up, that if I wanted to do that I should buy his FP car (which I should do anyway, for a multitude of reasons, #1 being it's a damn nice race car. But between the historics 914 and the Super Touring Civics I'm way too deep in race cars right now...but you never know...)

Since those posts last year I was able to find the whole collection of "Upfixin'" on eBay. Something like $50 for the whole show, it was a killer deal. Wouldn't hurt for you to scan it in for others to see though...

Historics drivetrain is removed and at Foley's as we type, for some freshening up, possibly some massage work, and a transaxle overhaul. No immediate plans to de-windshield it.

I'd still like to to a #30 tribute someday. Watching this thread with interest. We'll see what life throws at me in the near future.

This is true. Plus like I said I dig that it still closely resembles the appearance of an 80's ITA car.

That if I wanted to do that I should buy his FP car (which I should do anyway, for a multitude of reasons, #1 being it's a damn nice race car.

True again.....but there is only so much time and money....and garage space....believe me I know.

Yeah I did the same a few years ago. I got a set for my dad too.

Yeah actually I would like to do the same. Point of interest I believe some years ago another 914 freak got aluminum cylinders and Scat split port heads ok'd for EP in the SCCA GCR. Not sure how split ports would fly with the vintage crowd though.
