Armando , I will give Warren a call and ask him for you, he lives up the road from me. This 914 sure coins the phrase War Horse. Great to see it getting attention.

Hello Warren! It has been almost 4 years since your last post at the Harry Bytzek 914-6 GT. The 914 is now near my home (about 1 ½ hours) at a friend's shop for a full restoration. I just took these photos, you may want to check them out http://www.pbase.com/9146gt/dealer_9146gt_race_cars_sn9140430033_harry_bytzek_stripped Warren, do you by chance have ANY period photos from when you used to race, possibly any Porsche vintage related photos? If by chance you do, would you share them with me? I would love the opportunity to post them on the website…. Best wishes! Armando

Hi, my name is warren williams and in the late 70's we raced a 914-6 here in the NW. At Westwood near Vancouver, we raced against another 914-6 Which I believe was this Harry Bytzek 914-6 GT. This car had a rather unique tubular strut going from the inside rear suspension attachment to the round indentation on the firewall , so as to triangulate that piece to limit toe change. I have always been curious as to what happened to that car. I have just within the last few days discovered this fantastic web site. Please reply if you choose to. Thanks WW
