Hello everyone-
After spending many years in Georgia, my 1970 914-6 is back and in top form. The car features a 2.7 CIS motor, steel flares, and was once owned by Reeves Callaway. This is my 3rd 914, and I plan to keep this one a while... Enjoy the photos.

Nice looking car there, love the blue and the six.
I hope to see it at some future Porsche event. Do you have any before photo's or progress photo's? Kerry

I suspect there's more to this car than meets the camera. Crank fire?
Very slick. Show us more. |

Electromotove multiple coil crank-sensor ignition, shuffle pinned main bearings, boat-tail and port/polished main bearing webs and mooned cylinders.
Clearanced heads and pistons for higher compression ratio, reground cams to 911SC specs. Before and restoration in-progress pictures to follow - this thing has very little original body steel...when I bought it in 1990 it was a fiberglass-flared GT wannabe held together with bad brazing and bondo.

Quite a nice ride you have there!
I love the green motor/blue engine bay look, not to mention you have some other nice stuff crammed in there. M

Nice indeed. Now, would you care to disclose how many of your children have you sold to finance this magnificent project?

Is that an upgraded Mag case or a Alumn case? Just wondering...bet it's a sweet revver. Any dyno numbers on that sucker? Looks great, not sure if that's a good enough word for it

Sorry - He's a water-cooled guy.
Makes go-fast Callaway Corvettes in Old Lyme, Connecticut. Once upon a time he made turbo kits for the 320i, did Austin Martin engine development, etc. See: http://www.callawaycars.com His brother makes the golf club.

Ok, now I know who you are talking about. I didn't realize he was in Ct. I grew up in Ct., moved here to NC 10 yrs ago, never realized R.Callaway was a Ct. resident. Cool.
His brother does indeed make very nice golf equipment.
