I am looking for the family 914.6 when I was a kid that was basically hocked for cash {Don't get high on your own supply} in the mid 80's in the Fort Lauderdale area.
About the car. Red top, extended wheel wells, black Fuchs wheels, chrome bumpers, red duck tail. Radio was Blaupunkt. Black interior. The engine had dual 3 pack webers, a slight misfire at idle until you stepped on the gas. The car could smoke the tires off the wheels if needed. Engine was built by someone that built racing engines for IMSA. If it is known where the car is I would love to have it back or at least see it. I think I remember the Florida tag but I do not know the Vin# Picture is for similarity only and not the one im looking for. Please Help if you can. Brian Attached thumbnail(s) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) I have no info for you but here's a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif) Maybe send it to the top a couple times will do it. Maybe you can dig up the VIN. If anyone in the family has some old repair receipts. We have a pretty good VIN database thanks to Sir Andy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I have the vin# finally after 40 years. It's not listed on 914world database. Any extra ideas on where to look. |

Yes it is So you are looking for a 1973 6 cylinder conversion. Last real sixes were built in 1972. If you've checked the 4 cylinder database then like Andy said, Google |

If you've checked the 4 cylinder database then like Andy said, Google I’ve checked google, I’ve paid for a deep search through websites and unfortunately most sites don’t even recognize a 10 number vin#. For all I know it could be a barn find somewhere someday. |
