thanks guys. I really like this car and might even keep it for a while! I'll try and show up at more events, but I am right in the middle of raising 2 daughters and am enjoying every minute of it, especially the soccer games! Once the kids want me to walk on the other side of the street and want nothing to do with me, I'll be on the lookout for things to keep me occupied. Thanks for posting the pics. I'm in the process of trying to contact the 2nd owner of the car. Turns out I recognized his name and we had a mutual friend long ago...

Looks pretty nice Glenn. I'd kinda like to see it in person. Maybe next month? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif)

Awesome Glenn, it'd be nice if you can come to more events (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Your car looks immaculate, very nice example of a -6.

I miss so many things f those posters I'm a newbie here and I thought "wow these guys have some knowledge that I want to assimilate, damn nice car too..." 2 decades ago!!! I've noticed much get lost to the echoes of time in the automotive world... Having post from SirAndy in the original feed made it look current. DennisV, you sir, are a tease. |

This thread is 18 years old, where the hell did you dig that up? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Well...I try to answer my own questions if I can before starting a new post. I was looking for pictures of factory installed sway bars. Did a forum search and got excited when I saw this thread. Only to discover there weren't any pictures.

I have owned 3 original 914-6's; not a one came with factory installed sway bars. All had the tabs on the lower control arms for the front sway bar- but no bar. I added stock, later, sway bars to all of them, F&R, using all stock hardware. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I believe the 914-6 anti sway bars were 1mm thicker, just like the torsion bars.

There is another thread on here, not quite so old, about this. Here is an old picture of mine, before I cleaned them up. 70 '6, purchased used in July 1977. These were on when I bought it, so can't say if factory or dealer, but my understanding is they are 'factory correct'. Only the front installed, not the back.

I am trying to see what the factory welding looked like (i.e., was it tack welded or bead welded). Perhaps it is not possible to see it when everything is assembled?

72 sixes were the only ones available with the optional front and rear sway bars. the factory NEVER installed just a front one. The sizes were 16 front 15 rear, where as the 73-76 four cylinder optional sway bar package was 15 front 16 rear. MANY dealers installed front six sway bars on the early cars as they were too tail happy for some people's taste. Since the exact same configuration front bar was available for 911, ordering one and even installing one on a six was easy
