FS: 1972 SBC 350 914 $39,995 or best offer

Bought this car four years ago from Kent. Kent did all the bodywork on this car and is renowned for his 914-6 and other high end Porsche restorations. I decided to downsize to just my 3.6 914-6 GT clone.

One of a kind 914 V8
Chevy 350 crate engine with Fitech Fuel Injection, mild cam, headers, etc.
•One piece steel front hood
• Custom one of a kind steel flairs
• Headlights are under turn signal lenses
• Renegade radiator, adapters and CV's
• Custom front bumper and valance
• Shaved door handles
• Remote door actuators
• Electric Windows
• Custom seats
• Hot rod orange flat paint
• Shortened top
• Dr Evil built trans with taller gears for 3rd, 4th and 5th. Totally matches the v8 torque curve and better gas mileage
• Partial cage with rear suspension tied into cage. Car is the stiffest 914 I have ever owned.
• Custom stereo with front and rear speakers in firewall
• For more information check out my thread and Kents thread. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...=2&t=356033

Upgrades and new parts

• Installed horns and horn ring
• Installed rotary switch for fresh air fan
• Fixed rear trunk lock and added solenoid with switch in engine compartment
• New Spark plug wires and spark plugs
• New Bilstein shocks
• New front Sway bar bushings,
• Rear 914-4 emergency brake (calipers, disks, cables, etc.) still have previous drilled disks and 911T calipers.
• Front hood shocks
• Charcoal canister (did have horrible gas smell in car)
• New Stereo
• New Alarm system
• New Michelin pilot sport tires
• Drink holder arm rest,
• New Coco mats
• GPS speed hut speedometer (have old speedometer)
• New Battery
• New Alternator,
• Fuse for battery cable,
• Rear top holders
• Vertical roll bar chrome and rubber
• Rear view mirror, visors, vanity rubber, roll bar foam
• New Renegade HD CV Joints and axles
• Fixed Tach
• Added clock and voltmeter
• Added metal RS door handles (previously there was no way to close the doors with the windows up)
• Added ash tray (was rear view camera monitor). I have a new one in a box, but I thought it was worthless and switched back to stock rear view mirror.

I was told this car was owned by drifterjay on this site prior to Kent owning it. You can do a search on his user ID for more history.

The rear of the top is flush with the targa bar. Looks cool, but now there is no lip to fit into the rear rubber trunk holders.
I will include a stock top with the sale that matches the car.

Kent Simmons did the metal, body and paint on my car. My car has been on the road for 5 years and still looks perfect. Kent is a perfectionist and I have seen this car many times and the body work was terrific. GLWTS Steve. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I saw it at a gathering and had a chance to walk up close, it is a sweet looking car. Good luck with the sale.
