A Message From The President
If you missed out on the TB Sutton drive to
Granville, tour of downtown, dinner and
blue grass music, you missed out on some
fun times...and of course the rain. Others
may have gone to Keeneland Concours in
Lexington, but I bet you got some of that
wet stuff also.
Lots of fun events coming up in August October. My last email blast has most
everything (I know of) that is
happening...oops, I left out the AACA
Antique (and any car) car show in Cool
Springs on Oct 4th. Unfortunately unless
things change, I will be at Petit Lemans at
Road Atlanta for the first time. Can't wait to
hear the whine of those race cars. I sure
miss the loud exhaust on those F1 cars
since they went to "hybrid" small blocks.
Next they will want to put catalytic
converters on them.
I am leading a tour again to Dover TN and
a visit to Fort Donelson, the old cemetery
and the old hotel on the banks of the
Cumberland. It is a beautiful drive and
great place to learn a little civil war history
and have lunch. Last time, we saw a bald
eagle near the river where the pair have a
nest. Please join us for a laid back
afternoon, or your other option is a Poker
Run organized by club member Ross
Robinson. His is a charity event for
Leukemia Foundation so recommend you
consider participating.
meeting was held at Carl George's Vintage
Classic Garage, which was a treat for the
attendees. This is Jim's last year as Zone
3 Rep. so I want to wish him the best in his
future PCA activities which will likely be
with the Heart-of-Dixie Region in Huntsville.
Dan Martin and I are off to Sommerfest in
Asheville NC early in August so looking
forward to another laid back week-end with
cars and a rally. Mountain roads will be a
plus also.
That's about it. Happy Porsche'ing and
see you at our next meeting at the Lane
Motor Museum.

Jim Cambron, our PCA Zone 3
Representative, held a President's Meeting

The Porsche 914 - Mid-Engine Magic
By Dean Lewellen, Arizona Region PCA
Editors Note: With the recent release of the Boxster
and Cayman GTS,lets pause for a moment and look
back to part of Porsche’s mid-engine past. The
following article originally appeared in the Arizona
Region PCA’s newsletter, Going Places.
When the Boxster was formally introduced to North
America Porsche dealers and a select number of
PCA notables right here in Scottsdale, Arizona, in
September of 1996, its heritage and inspiration was
traced and credited to the company's legendary
550 Spyders and RS-60s, the remarkable, two-seat,
mid-engine race cars that established Porsche's
reputation in endurance road racing in the 1950s
and early 1960s. The Boxster concept car was first
shown to the public and hyped as a fresh styling
approach at the North American International Auto
Show in Detroit in 1993. For the next three years,
while 10,000 deposits were collected and we
patiently waited for the production version of the
two-seat, mid-engine Boxster to arrive at local
showrooms, all the company's publicity seemed to
deny the existence of the 119,000 Model 914s built
and sold by Porsche from 1970 through 1976. This
denial is mysterious to PCA members who have
owned or still own any version of this mid-engine
magic machine. I still smile when I recall the joy my
914-2.0 could provide at Pacific Northwest Region
Autocrosses and the fun of running flat-out through
every corner of Seattle International Raceway on
Driver's Ed days. Just ask any one of our Region's
several 914 owners about their rides and prepare to
become well informed about the attributes of these
wonderful two-seat, mid-engine cars.
The public was first introduced to the Model 914 at
the Frankfurt International Auto Show in September
1969, and, the first production cars arrived in North
America Porsche+Audi dealership showrooms in
March 1970. But, let's back up a few years and look
at the Model 914 project from its beginnings as a
three-way joint venture between Karmann, Porsche
and Volkswagen.
In late 1966 and early 1967, Porsche management
began thinking about a less expensive addition to
the 911/912 family of cars. Almost coincidentally,
Heinz Nordhoff, the Director of Volkswagen, was
thinking about a sportier car to expand
Volkswagen's image beyond simple, utilitarian
transportation machines. Ferry Porsche and Heinz
Nordhoff shook hands on an agreement whereby
Porsche would design and develop a new midengine sports car for Volkswagen, using the flat-four
cylinder engine Volkswagen was developing for the
VW Model 411. The new car would have the bodies
built and assembled by the Wilhelm Karmann
GmbH factory in Osnabruck, Germany, which had
previously built bodies for both Porsche and VW. It
was further agreed that this resulting car would be
marketed as a Volkswagen. The two men also
verbally agreed that Porsche could acquire the
same body shells from Karmann, install Porsche
engines and market these cars as Porsches if
desired. These basic agreements would be
changed several times as issues arose before the
Type 914 would come to the market.
The first issue was the appearance, which had to be
approved by both Porsche and VW. Porsche did not
want the car to look like their existing product line
and Volkswagen did not want the car to look like any
earlier Porsche models. To minimize conflict, an
outside source was chosen to provide the initial
design concept for the new car, which was formally
identified as the Type 914. The industrial design firm
of Gugelot Design GmbH, located in Neu-Ulm,
Germany, was working on an automobile body
shape built from a foam core bonded to fiberglass
panels as a sandwich structure which had
interested BMW, Daimler-Benz, Karmann, Porsche
and Volkswagen as a future automobile body
production method.
PAGE 5
SOLID GOLD
This design concept was a front-engine coupe with
flush fender lines, a recessed rear window and
elongated running lights capping the front fenders.
The Porsche design team, headed by Butzi
Porsche, credited for the 911 Coupe and Targa
designs, changed the Gugelot concept car to
accommodate the mid-engine location and made
other styling changes to suit Porsche's desires. The
second issue was the death of Heinz Nordhoff in
April of 1968, following which the new Director of
Volkswagen, Kurt Lotz, backed out of some of the
verbal agreements between Porsche and Nordhoff
as Lotz had little interest in the new sportier VW
version being developed. This issue resulted in a
Porsche and Volkswagen joint marketing venture,
fifty per cent owned by each company, which would
sell Volkswagen, Porsche and Audi products.
Porsche could still buy bodies from Karmann, but at
a higher price than Porsche thought they had earlier
agreed to pay. The final outcome from all the issues
resulted in Karmann building the Model 914 as a
completed, out the door, ready to roll automobile
with the "VW-Porsche" nameplate for European
sales and the "Porsche" nameplate for US sales. The
Model 914/6 bodies were assembled, trimmed and
painted at Karmann's Osnabruck factory then
shipped to Porsche for engines and final assembly
where they went down the same production line with
the Model 911. A total of 3,351 914/6s were
produced at Zuffenhausen in 1970, 1971 and 1972
under this plan. The total number of 914/4s
produced during the seven year model run was
115,596. It is estimated that approximately 75,000
copies of the 914 models were sold in the United
States.
The appearance of the 914 was a departure for
Porsche, but the mechanicals were tried and true
Porsche components. The MacPherson strut front
suspension with the longitudinal torsion bars was
lifted right out of the 911. The rear trailing arm
independent suspension geometry was similar to
the 911, but the links and coil springs were new.
Both the 914/4 and 914/6 had disc brakes all
around with the 914/6 utilizing vented rotors at the
front. An odd rear caliper was used at the rear on
both cars which had the hand brake actuator
linkage built into it. The dual master cylinders
activating separate front and rear brake systems
through a rear brake pressure limiter made brake
caliper bleeding often difficult for the rear wheels.
The 914/4 steel wheels were mounted on four-lug
VW 411 hubs while the 914/6 wheels were steel or
optional magnesium cast wheels by Mahle mounted
AUGUST 2014
on Porsche five-lug hubs. The Mahle wheels were
often referred to as "gas burners". The 914 had a 7
inch longer wheelbase and was four inches lower
than the 911. The mid-engine location allowed for
substantial luggage spaces front and rear even with
the one-piece, removable top section stored in the
rear space.
The 914/4 was initially offered with the W-series
engine from the VW 411. This engine was a fuel
injected, 1.7 liter, air-cooled, overhead valve design
producing 80 DIN horsepower. The 914/6 used the
2.0 liter, single overhead cam engine from the
1968-69 911T which produced 110 DIN
horsepower. This engine had a capacitive
discharge ignition system, a dry-sump lubrication
system and two, triple-choke Weber carburetors
supplying fuel. In 1973, the 2.0 liter four-cylinder
engine option was introduced for the 914/4 when
production of the 914/6 ceased after the 1972
model year. The two liter engine capacity was
obtained by a bore and stroke increase and the
power was rated at 95 DIN horsepower. The model
designations were changed in 1973 to 914-1.7 and
914-2.0. The standard engine was enlarged to 1.8
liters in 1974, equipped with L-Jetronic fuel injection
and the power dropped to 76 DIN horsepower. The
1975 and 1976 914s fell victim to emission and
safety mandates that resulted in ugly impact
absorbing bumper systems front and rear which
added weight and new exhaust systems for more
stringent emissions control which reduced the
power output to 88 DIN horsepower for the 2.0 liter
engines. Sportomatic transmissions were advertised
options for the 914/6 and a few were actually
produced. Typically, both cars used the five-speed
gearbox from the 911.Because of the engine
location, the transmission was turned around and
the shifter mechanism was usually described,
kindly, as "a trifle vague" in the early years cars. The
side-shifter transmission with improved linkage was
introduced in 1973 which greatly improved gear
selection capability and reduced embarrassing
gear clashes when shifting from first to second in a
tight autocross corner. This updated linkage has
been retrofitted to many pre-1973 914s.
The 914/6 was fancier and better equipped with 3speed wipers, electric windshield washers and
chrome plated bumpers. The 914/6 also had vinyl
trim on the "roll bar", dual horns, headlight flasher
and external trim strips. The instrument panel
contained a central tachometer which went to 7000
rpm on the 914/4 and 8000 rpm on the 914/6.
PAGE 6
SOLID GOLD
The right dial housed the speedometer which
registered 120 mph and 150 mph for the 914/4 and
914/6, respectfully. The left dial contained a fuel
quantity gauge in the bottom sector and the 914/6
had an oil temperature gauge in the top half while
the 914/4 had warning lights for fuel level, hand
brake and low brake fluid in the top sector. During
the 914/4 and 914/6 production runs, the cars
remained basically the same. Only a few minor
improvements were made--adjustable passenger
seat in 1972, additional air outlets at each end of the
dash and insulation and sound deadening
improvements in 1973. The 914 was never as well
developed as other Porsches during its production
run which led indirectly to its demise.
During the seven year production life of the 914
series, Porsche explored the outer limits of the
chassis's capability with several projects. Two cars
were constructed and powered by the 4-cam flat
eight cylinder engine from the 908 race cars. One of
these special cars was presented to Ferry Porsche
on his sixtieth birthday. It was detuned as much as
possible to make it docile enough for road usage.
Ferry Porsche used the car for commuting from
home to office registering some 10,000 kilometers
before garaging the beast after which this 914/8
found a permanent home in the Porsche Museum.
The racing shop at Werk I in Zuffenhausen
developed a highly upgraded version of the 914/6
which was identified as the 914/6 GT. It had bold,
bulging steel fender flares all around, a solid steel
roof, and, was powered by a 906 blueprinted engine
producing a minimum of 220 DIN horsepower.
These cars were campaigned world-wide by factory
and private teams. The most notable achievement of
a 914/6 GT was a GTclass win and a sixth overall
finish at the 1970 running of LeMans. This car was
prepared by Werk I and entered by a Frenchman
named Auguste Veuillet of Paris. This car is reported
to have run the entire 24 hour race on the same tires
and brake pads--remarkable!

The Porsche 914 offered reliability and economy
along with a healthy dose of competition potential
and capability. Its inherent balance and great
handling at a reasonable purchase price brought
out the latent competitive spirit in many Porsche
owners and drivers who hadn't participated in
driving challenge events in recent years. 914s were
seen in races, autocrosses, rallies and time trials at
the local club, regional and national levels. Many
were successfully campaigned in international
events around the world.
The introductory price in 1970 for the 914/4 was
$3595.00 (East Coast) and $5999.00 for the 914/6,
add $100.00 for West Coast deliveries. In 1975,
exchange rate problems and pollution controls'
requirements pushed prices to $6300.00 for a 1.8liter car and $6995.00 for a 2.0-liter car. Today's
values can vary widely as the condition of the now
near 30 year old cars run the entire gamut from
"beater to beauty". 914-1.7s and 1.8s can be bought
from $2500.00 to $5000.00. The more desirable
914-2.0 cars range in price from $2500.00 to
$7000.00. The 914/6 is now considered to be one of
the more sought after Porsches and prices keep
escalating higher each year for good and authentic
examples of these coveted cars. Expect to pay from
$8000.00 to upwards of $17,000.00 for a pristine
and authentic 914/6. Be aware that show cars and
cars with a historical significance are valued
substantially higher than the figures given here.
Also, be aware that there are a lot of "conversions"
out there in the 914/6 marketplace--some well done
to or nearly to factory specifications, but others are
not so well done. A complete listing of 914 serial
numbers is available in the "The Porsche Family
Tree" published by PCA and available from PCA
National offices, which is valuable information for
serious shoppers.
Production of the 914 was quietly phased out in
Onasbruck in the winter of 1975-1976. The last cars
were sold in the spring of 1976 to knowledgeable
buyers who knew these were the last of a somewhat
controversial line of Porsche cars that had a story to
tell. Porsche learned a lot about joint venture
partnerships, obtained priceless experience
designing and building a mid-engine sports car for
the road, and produced a truly marvelous, two-seat,
mid-engine car that is still coveted in wide circles of
Porsche owners to this very day.

Continental SportsCar Challenge
If you aren’t keeping up on the Tudor United
SportsCar Championship and the Continetal
Tire SportsCar Challenge this year, you’re
really missing out! The racing has been very
close, especially in the GT categories in the
Tudor and in both GS and ST categories in
the Continental series. Jade Buford, son of
Musik Stadt member Mark Buford drives for
the Multimatic team in the Continental series
in the GS class. The team ran Aston Martins
in the past, but this year have switched to
Ford Mustang Boss 302R’s. Jade enjoyed a
well-earned podium finish a couple of weeks
ago at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (or
Mosport, if you prefer). To the left are a few
pics from the race.
Also of note, in the last few rounds, the
Caymans have really come to life in the ST
class, and the Rum Bum 911 is also
something of a threat in GS. If you haven’t
caught the action this year, you’re in luck.
IMSA.com has archives of the races for both
the Tudor championship, and the
Continental Tire Challenge -- just click on the
link and it will take you there.
If you’re looking to get out of the house on a
road trip, VIR is coming up in a few weeks,
and Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta is just
around the corner. Both are just a day or so
drive from here!
