Karl, looks way too nice in photo to turn into a race car depending how much is original and non rust. Plenty of ready built 914 and 6s out there.

916/6 ? I'm interested

Good for you. 914's rock. Sometimes they just live under your skin your whole life... even while nicer/newer/faster is all around.

Yes but I was not finding what I wanted, a beat up old 911 that didn't cost a bunch of $$$.

The 74 914/6 has a small displacement engine built to the rule book and its a conversion so who cares if its a nice car.

2.2 from a 71T, Webers, lots of factory bits like the oil tank, five lug conversion, full Bilsteins, front sway etc.

Just needs safety and some sorting of the suspension and a bit of tuning.

916 = fat fingers its a 74 914/6 conversion.

So true they get in you and wont let go.

Now we need a old cheap Cheby P/U
