This original 914-6 was first delivered to Captain Willis, a paratrooper stationed in Bitburg Germany and later resided in Pordenone Italy.  Both he and the car were transferred to Florida where the car collected dust for many years.  In 2008, the vehicle was sold on eBay and started its transformation into a 914/6 GT.   Like many projects that come to Patrick Motorsports, this 914-6 sat in the midst of restoration for several years.  Oftentimes individuals and even shops underestimate the difficulty, labor and knowledge required for a full restoration.  The body of the vehicle was to receive GT style flared...

914/6 GT 3.6L DME 915 Upgrade Conversion

  This car is fitted with our front oil cooler system, the Setrab oil cooler (part # PMP 500-15NPT3/4). This is plumbed to the engine using Goodridge fittings and stainless braided hoses. Adding an oil cooler system is a must for operation of the air cooled engines in warmer climates, as the factory engine mounted cooler just does not keep your engine operating in its optimal temperature range, causing premature engine wear and loss for performance. Our systems have been designed to keep your engine operating at its desired operating temperature which extends engine life and improves performance. 914 GT OIL COOLER...
