call them they will likely tell you where it is (probably in storage, off the market)
Please call or stop by to see this car in person at SpeedSports Exclusive 16475 SE McLoughlin Blvd Milwaukie, Oregon Call (503) 708-0007or (503) 305-6543 Speed Sports Inc | Pre-owned Dealer | Portland, Oregon This Porsche 914-6 is a pure sports car from end to end. This car was built with no expense spared. The nationally well know Porsche Tuner and Race shop Rothsport built this car for a local collector. It was a complete tub up build to the highest standards. The heart of this 914 is a 3.8 RS spec 911 engine Over 120K was spent in building the one of a kind 914. This seriously custom 1973 Porsche 914 exhibits an amazing build. It is in perfect condition from top to bottom, is powered by a modern 3.8L flat six, and looks aggressive with the cut down windshield fairing and GT flares. This car is a study in perfect wheel/tire/stance combination. The flares, Fuchs, and Hoosier race rubber are all just right, and the car looks even lower and wider with the windshield frame removed. Orange is the right color for the factory GT cars, and it works well here to an large custom exhaust is snaked beneath the rear bumper to keep the rumble somewhat limited, and the photo from directly behind shows a ridiculous amount of rubber. Inside a custom cage is nicely integrated and Recaro buckets hold driver and passenger in place. The engine engine cover tilts out of the way and makes for easy access to the later Porsche engine. The chassis is stiffened to help reduce flex, and the interior paint looks almost as clean as the exterior surfaces. No need to store the targa top on this model! The 3.8 RS motor was transformed from a late model VarioCam 993 engine and is producing 329 hp and 279 pounds of trq at 6600 RPM. The transmission is a 915 with lots of upgrades including WEVO shifter. Inside it is a GT Limited Slip Diff, with custom gearing to get the most of this car. To stop this car it has factory 930 brake calipers and drilled 930 rotors. The factory wheels were retained but widened to fit the 225/55/15 fronts and 245/50/15 rears Hoosier R3S04 Dot Slicks. No expense was spared anywhere and I have the reciepts to prove it. This is a true one of a kind Porsche, and not for the weak of heart! This is one of the finest driving cars that I have ever driven. Anyone looking for something really special for their garage will find this car a real jewel, and not to be ever out done by another 914.
