all 914-6 cars were all production cars, some cars were special order, porsche had a sport package Renn) option that was available, in this package the cars were equiped different options. I.E. brakes, suspension, engine components, fender flairs,wheels. You could order different combinations for a renn package.

Gustl? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


well ... did anybody contact the spanish club to get in contact with their president?
as I told before, I don't know spanish ...

the german guy contacted this spanish guy, but never got answer
maybe the contact information was bad - or the spanish guy just didn't want to discuss his car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'm afraid I can't contribute more about this car ...

but I think some 914-4 parts on the car - as well as black headlight surrounds - won't tell us that it's a fake
referring to my infos it was a rallye car in the 70ies, so it wouldn't be very surprising that it got damaged / crashed
and I'm sure nobody gave a damn about using a cheaper 914-4 part instead of an expensive 914-6 part on a rallye car that made the same job ...?
we don't know yet when these parts came to the car and if anybody back then realised that this car could be worth much more in the future (currently, speaking of presence)
just my 2 cent ...

gt's were only made in 1970,rear truck shock area is welded nice up date,incorrect fuel tank cross brace, fuel cell conversion on gt fuel tank, wrong color head lite covers, non bosch cut off switch ,sway bar is an update that never worked out that good



Well guys. irrespective of its pedigree, it looks like a well turned out good looking car. Right color too. Tony, with respect to the rear sway bar set up, I can well relate to it. If you lower a 914 for racing and hit big high speed bumps like at turn 8 at Willlow springs, the top strut pivot point at the end of the sway bar hits the bottom of the trunk and becomes an instant hard bump stop. This will put you into the weeds. Believe me I know. And there are lots of (upward facing) bumps in my trunk, despite the fact that I have shortened the rear sway bar links from the shock bolt to the end of the sway bar. I have seen the swaybar in the trunk set up before, and this addresses the above problem, allowing full wheel travel (as allowed by the spring and shock). Especially for rallying, where you want compliant suspension to run fast on bumpy roads, this would be a good solution. I never did it because I did to cut holes in the trunk.

Martin,
Have you considered another old trick?
Lower the bottom shock mounting bolt by welding a new bung on teh bottom of the trailing arm....

In case of 914.143.0139 we don't have to worry about "real" or not anymore ...
