I just got back from my trip to Argentina (4wks) and I found this old 1998 mag at a new stand with a Yellow 914-6 GT on the cover, so I had to pick it up for my 914 club members.
It says that it is the original 914-6 GT that the Porsche sold to Fernandez brothers. It raced in various events and even the Monte Carlo. It seems to have been restored, it also has dual driver side windshield washers, I guess to better clean the dirt and snow. I had heard that this 914 GT had been wrecked in Spain, if you look at the inside photos you will notice that the ignition is on the steering colum, as far as I know the only 914-6’s that had the starter key on the colum are from 1972. In all this car looks neat and it adds one more GT if real to our list of 914’s. I will added the photos as fast as I can, also don’t shoot me for the bad stitching Thanks Quilmes (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Attached image(s) |

This car looks like it has the late style striker plate for the door latch.
The steering wheel looks like it might be a '74 imitation leather wheel. I notice it doesn't have the undercoating on the upper front shock mounts. The passenger side threshold rail looks like it might be black plastic instead of aluminum. This would nicely match the black headlight surrounds. Another thing to check would be to see if the jack mounts are located on the drivers side rear of the trunk instead on the forward wall of the trunk. |
