Marty, are you going to bring the 914 -6GT? ( I have yet to see it and want to check it out...)

Maybe it will get me motivated to finish mine.

I will be there in the black six and the anthracite '79 930. I hired an assistant to bring the tail dragger. Need to get the cobwebs off of 4th gear (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
There should be a good turnout of local 914s coming to this gig.

Nice turnout of cars this morning. I believe there were three or four 914s there, including the first U.S. sold 914-6 (fully restored) and Marty Schneider's turbo 914-6.

I had a chance to speak with Marty and shot this video of his car as he was leaving. Nice guy and a beautiful car. (click on link)

Marty's 914-6


This may be the spark I needed to get my project back on track.

Marty,

What size wheels and tires are those?
Are those stock rear fender flares, or did you cut and widen them?

Looks very cool, like the wide lip wheels

First 914-6 sold at a U.S.A dealership.
It has a twin plug, some 906 engine upgrades, and a gt style oil tank.
All restored and a very cool 914 with history.Attached Image

Marty,

Looks very cool, like the wide lip wheels

Rich, the rear wheels are 9 x16", 245 x45x16 tires.
The wheels are custom mfg. from machining + mating portions of two 6x16" Fuchs together. These were made years ago by Europarts out of Matthews, NC. Toby was the owners name I don't know if they are still around. Lindsey racing makes a bolt-together modular Fuchs that resembles this wheel, but it will have a circular pattern of bolts around the mag.
The wheel arches are standard width 914 gt. After the flared fenders were installed, the body shop used a compressed air "Jack" in the wheel well and gently forced the fender lip outward, very slightly. This allows the tire to clear the fender at all vehicle conditions.
So if your vantage point is standing behind this car, the rear arches will appear slighted bowed outward.
Marty

Porsches were in abundance at the Oktoberfest...I think this might even motivate Robert to get his 914 back on the streets of L.A. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached Image
