1970 Porsche 914-6 VIN #9140431119
SOLD June, 2012
After 7 years of owning this car it's time for it to go to a new owner that will care for it and enjoy it as much as I did. I found the car in Ohio and have done major performance upgrades. The car has had many top time of day Auto-X wins, and is fast and fun to drive.
This car is all go, and not much show.

Negative things about the Car
- The paint is rough. It was originally a Green car that was repainted Red. The paint has many chips from the track and can look good from 15' with a good wax job.
- The body is also rough. There were a couple structural places that were rusted that I had repaired when I bought the car. A section of the floor pan on the driver side was replaced, and a couple places on the lower frame were also repaired. See Pictures for details.
- The transmission syncros need to be replaced. The car can be driven as it is, but downshifting requires matching the rpm's to the transmission speed. Upshifting works great.
