Restored. WOW!!!!

This has got to now be my favorite factory built 914-6 GT to date! What a transformation! Chassis 914.143.0141 never looked so good, as good as new and probably better. Again, Armin and his guys at "Knüpfing Motorsport" have done a fantastic job completing the restoration work for this historically significant GT racer. The finished product is a testament to the talent and effort of these individuals. Congratulations to those involved in the project! ; )

Feel free to contact Armin directly via email at "info@knuepfing-motorsport.de" for any of your restoration needs. Here is the website http://www.knuepfing-motorsport.de

This GT is now "For Sale". For additional information, you can contact Marco Marinello via email at this address; marinello@elevenparts.com , or, you can visit his website located here http://www.elevenparts.com/index2.php?f=rare&p=racing - Thank you!
