Default Powell-Marks 914/6 Racecar

Its been great fun, but I think the race car (aka Moby) will hit the classifieds soon. It was an SCCA FP racecar with a bad motor that I bought from an estate sale in Wisconsin 2years ago. Installed a 3.0L six in it with hopes of doing track days and some DE events, but so far I have only AX it.

I need to get the build sheet for it and get some detailed pictures ready in the next few weeks and get it posted. I'm not getting out of 914s, I will still have my 70 914 for Axing. I'm starting a new business and can use the $$ to help get things off the ground.

More details in the classifieds soon.

Sorry you are having to sell it. That is a great car. I really liked the sound of the motor. It started up and idled down quickly. Lots of luck with the sale.

Thanks guys. Its a great racecar, but to be honest between work, home life, and trying to get a small business going I just don't have the time for it anymore. Maybe in a few years I can build me a vintage racer.

Bennet Powell and Glenn Marks purchased the car from Garold
Glenn took the car out to Black Hawk Farms Raceway and ran in the High Speed Turner day.

Glenn Marks passed the drivers school and ran the race!
He did pretty well, ran a 1:29 lap time at Blackhawk Farms Raceway.
