Porsche never sold a prototype (except 916, they were official prototypes).
914R is the correct name for the cars now called 914GT. GT is the later synonym for 914R. GT was the FIA class in there the 914-6 was admitted, so all 914R are "GT's" Wilco (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) |

yes, except "914 043 0031" is *not* on the list of factory GTs either ...
none of the real prototypes had a 914-6 VIN to begin with. having said that, there was a GT prototype as well as a 916 prototype that both had 914-6 VINs. then there's a list of all factory GTs, which all had internal project numbers, besides a "normal" 914-6 VIN ... now, unfortunately, the list on internal projects is not complete. there are a few cars missing from that list ...

Ummm...
Isn't this an ad for the same car for sale? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) 1970 914-6 BODY SHELL Price: $6,050.00 Vin 91404300031. This is one of the earliest 914s we have seen, and as the first 50 produced were prototypes, this car has some weird differences, including a plug on the harness to connect to test equipment, a rear stamped serial number and a different rear panel. This car was never hit but had some rust. Our shop totally cured the rust problem and coated the car with preservative paint. It is ready for you to restore to the ultimate, and possibly own the lowest serial numbered six recently reported! Comes complete with title. http://www.autoatlanta.net/record_detail.l...346014F&-Search sorry about the mondo link, PN at AA is B23888 |

That ad in Autoatlanta seems to be the same car, he showed me pics of the strange wireharness that was described. The seller is supposed to send me some more info on the history of the car, hopefully some actual documentation. I'll let you guys know when I get it.
Question: anybody have their steering wheel re-wrapped in leather. Not those kits you can bu but an actual professional job? What would it cost and how accurate do they turn out? Thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/popcorn[1].gif) |

Trent bought it from AA, he no longer does business with them. I wonder why (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chair.gif) |

Kevin Jueng, known as buzzard1 here, did one for our Fall Folliage event last year. Britt (bd1308) won it and it's awesome. |
