    Just picked up this Project 914 last week! Hasn't run in a few years I believe, but had been Auto-X'd. No records whatsoever, all there and looks like it has good bones. Plan is to get it going again and run some local Auto-X's.

    1971 Porsche 914-6 just finishing up

    Finishing up a nearly 5 year conversion/resto project on a 1971 914-4.
    Something of a narrow body GT.
    Rothsport 2.7 MFI engine, GT hoods, full Elephant Racing suspension, upgraded brakes, etc.
    Still has the key on the steering column....had to keep some memories of the former car.

    Some recent pics that Avant Garde Collection (of BAT fame) recently took of the car.

    Great choices Doug...which makes for great Avant Garde pics. Easily one of best 914s I've seen. I'm partial to the GT flare look but dig that you kept this one narrow bodied.
