I've decided to put this car back on the market. I really never drive it and it's sad just to let it sit (and indoor storage fees are getting crazy!) It's a '71 conversion that was originally a 1.7. It was mostly a track car until I bought a dedicated race car. I drive it on the street occasionally, but not enough. It's the car that I love the most, but drive the least. It is NOT a beautiful example by any means. It has a few dents and dings and could use paint in a few places, but it's mechanically excellent and awesome on track. Details below:
Engine: Stock 1989 3.2 liter Carrera with approx. 50k miles. Runs perfect. Motronic fuel injection. The conversion mount is a factory style welded mount that Lewis Broyles developed for his 3.6 powered racecar. It's awesome. Also has high-torque starter. Odo is broken (needs new gear). B&B SS headers with heat (not hooked up currently) and B&B SS muffler. Transmission: Gary Fairbanks 901 side shifter with new style Rennshift. Custom hydraulic clutch. Shifts good. Filled with swepco. Brakes: Carrera brakes with Hawk HP+ pads. I completely rebuilt the front brakes a few years ago (less than 5k miles). New seals in the calipers, new rotors. SS brake lines. Has adjustable f/r bias. Exterior: There is no structural rust and minimal rust of any kind. I have been treating any surface rust that pops up. The undercarriage has been coated. The hell-hole and longs are rock solid. There is one little spot in the driver door jamb that was rusty, but I wire brushed it and slathered it with flat black rustoleum. Broken fiberglass front fascia (in pic) has been replaced with stock. There are dings and spots where I have treated surface rust. It's not perfect, but presentable. Interior: welded cage, Koenig race seats, 5 point harnesses, momo wheel, new Sony stereo head unit with aux and USB connection. Suspension: has bilsteins and upgraded suspension bushings (don't remember exactly what bushings are in there.) Also has a rear camber truss by stable energies. Will come with the 16" 3 piece custom HREs pictured (with Eagle F1s in good shape) as well as a set of 15x6 cookies with Victoracers (pretty worn). I have video from the track going by 996s, C5 Vettes, and even a still shot passing an F355. I tangled with a GT3 all weekend at CMP a few years back. This car is very fast on track. Have factory steel flares available separately (if the car sells and the buyer doesn't take the flares). I am more serious about selling the car this time. $17,500 and if it sells for asking price, I will throw in the flares. The car is in the greater DC area. PM me for more info and additional pics. Thanks ![]()

Sounds like a fun car. Wish I had the funds. GLWTS. A 3.2 914 is almost too much fun, especially with skinny tires
Just some nosy 914 questions: Oil tank? 914-6 type or something else? rear brakes? also carrera or something else? still retain emergency brake? how long ago was the conversion done? are the harnesses current? how wide are the 16" wheels? Any fender modding beyond the usual lip trimmings?

It has the original style 914/6 oil tank in the fender.
Carrera brakes all around. e brake is retained, but needs adjustment (may try to do that Sunday). AFAIK, the conversion was done in the early 2000s. I bought it already done and made some improvements, but it is very good. Harnesses are not current. 16" wheels are 6.5 wide I believe, but would have to check. No mods to the fenders, but do have the factory steel flares uninstalled.

Good for you bad for me! In CA right now but had just about convinced the wife that we needed a black 914-6. Was going to try and see it when I got home
