I was having lunch with an old 914 buddy in Novato -- the guy who built the silver 914-6 3.8 that keeps popping up for sale -- when a gray/silver (looked like that old-school silver that isn't so bright) 914 went by. Too quickly to collect all the details.
Fairly stock looking (I think it was still on four-lug wheels), but it sounded like it might have had an inline four, like a Honda S2000 or Toyota motor, but I am sure that's not it. Could it be? If that was a Type IV, I want to know what was done to it! This was on Wednesday March 9 on Bel Marin Keys Blvd @ 1:00 pm or so.... Anyone here know this car? pete |

Roger plumbed the car with aluminum tubing for the radiator, which is in the front trunk. Bunch of other stuff as well. Got all the guages working right, for the conversion etc. To all those who don't know Roger Hamlin, he was a member (Fabricator/Chassis Setup) of the 1981 Sports Car World Championship Rahal, Redman. Garettson 935 Team. He is a super guy. |
