This month's submission comes to us from Steve Klima with his father's original-owner 1970 914-6.
This car was actually bought new from Stoddard Imported Cars where Steve's father, Dave Klima, worked as a salesman and sold the car to himself. This car is one of the Stoddard modified 914-6's which was done in the 1970s. It has a 2.8 twinplug engine along with a side shift transmission.
The car has been fitted with 15x7 Fuchs and 185/70vr15 XWX's and has 21,600 original miles on the drivetrain. Steve was able to get this 6 back on the road again with help from Chris Moore at Autobahn Extremist who dedicated many long hours to getting this car up and running again.
This is a truly special car with some great history behind it. If you want to share your car's story, reach out to us and it might just be your car here next month. Thank you for this great submission Steve!

Customer Cars: Paul Habberfield's Modified 1974 914
Thursday, November 4, 2021 4:56 PM
We love seeing what exciting projects our customers are currently working on. Every month we would like to showcase a couple of cars in whatever state they are in - on the road or on the rack.
This month’s submission comes from Paul Habberfield and his modified 1974 914.
This month’s submission comes from Paul Habberfield and his modified 1974 914.
This 914 started life as a 1974 Zambezi Green 1.8 which was first registered in Norfolk Virginia. After spending 36 years stateside, it made its way back across the pond to Europe and in 2010 landed in the UK where it made its way to Paul.
This was the start of a complete nut and bolt rotisserie rebuild including steel GT flares, chassis stiffening, and a full safety cage welded in. The wheels are 8-inch Fuchs and 9-inch Minilites, the brakes were replaced with Porsche 930 Turbo components all round and the suspension/roll bars are from Elephant Racing and are fully adjustable.

The power plant is a period Magnesium case 2808cc flat 6, running 46 PMO’S, large valves, ported heads and GE60 cams. The headers are ceramic coated and exit via a stainless RSR muffler. This is a car which demands your attention as it approaches and passes.
After 11 long years of hard work and dedication, Paul has was finally able to register his 914 in early 2021 for road use. Prior to this the car had a brief competition history in 2018 where it entered a single Classic race and won its class.
His next plans for the car are to install some heavy-duty sound proofing and carpet for routine hill climbing on the weekends as well as making the ride more accommodating when his girlfriend is brave enough to come along for a ride.
Paul’s goal is to bring the car back to the US for a road trip like no other. He wants to visit the car’s home state and as well as our headquarters and make some truly unique memories with his car. We look forward to seeing you whenever you make it out here, best of luck to you and thank you for the excellent submission!

Customer Cars: Phillip Wagner's 1975 2.0 914
Wednesday, September 15, 2021 3:13 PM
We love seeing what exciting projects our customers are currently working on. Every month we would like to showcase a couple of cars in whatever state they are in - on the road or on the rack. This months submission comes from Phillip Wagner and his copper metallic 1975 2.0 914.
Phillip has owned this car since 2009 and began his restoration in 2015. The car was stripped by hand down to the original primer so that all rust could be found and remedied. He also decided to backdate the early chrome bumpers onto his car at this time. The car was painted in L99k copper metallic.
Since completing his restoration, Phillip participated in the Werks Reunion Amelia Island 2021 where he took 1st place in the 914 category. Very cool to see the hard work that went into restoring this car getting the recognition it deserves! Thank you for sharing Phillip and we hope to see you on the road soon.
