1972 R&T 916 intro - the 2000 lb Gorilla!!!
 

I ran across this issue of R&T a couple of weeks ago ... and the cover just begged to be scanned on a slow Friday night ... I think Grady has one quite a bit meaner than the factory offering!

And now for a reality check ... here is the 1972 914 most of us remember driving or working on ...

How cool are those paisley seats?! I'd love to see this car in colour ;)

That's an awesome car! Always loved the 916 and would like to have a replica of that anytime.

Awesome, thanks for the scans. One of these days when I have tons of money burning a hole in my pocket (which means no time soon) I'm going to have to beg, borrow, and steal as many old R&T's as I can. I wish I had kept the copies I had from my subscription in the 80's.

If anyone is ever throwing any old R&T's away I'll pay shipping (but I can't tell my wife).

Anybody notice the "groovy" seats in that thing. I think my dad had some pants like that.....

I kinda like those too.

Complete with the slick top, but, alas, no flares.

I have just about all my R&T's from '68.....mid 80's are missing....

I also have ( ta da !) R&T reprints of every Porsche model tested since 1952.....cool stuff ( and prices !!!)

I remember buying this 72 issue on 916...when it came out..... oh man.
