Good looking car and should be lots of fun with the 2.7. Shipping from Norway might be a little prohibitive though.

Probably under $2k for roll-off-roll-on shipping. I sent a couple old Alfas a few years back. Not bad at all.

Good catch on the winning bid and many Smiles per gallon when driving her ! The very first flat 6 conversion to my '74 T4 2.0 was a hot rod 2.7 with single turbo, performed in 1978. The mag case 2.7 was a quick revving, awesome sounding and incredible canyon car...really enjoyed it until a 3.0 swap was avail. Recently we purchased another '70 914 with a mag case 2.0 flat six, currently being o'hauled . Totally looking forward to driving this one . Enjoy and keep the shiny side up !

The car came with this poster, kind of tattered and faded but signed by Quick Vic ! He set the LM24 lap record that year in a works 917...but it dnf'd;
Another works 917 did finish overall P1, for Porsche's first overall LM24 win. Sonauto #40 took 1st in 2L gt class , and I believe 5th place at the end of the 24

Congratulations! That looks like a beautiful car. Can't wait until you drive it and give us your thoughts. Maybe post a ton of pictures too.
