I was chasing an ERA GT 40 Replica. I really fell in love and got everything in place to pull the deal together. Thank God I did some research and did not just jump right in. The particular car that caught my eye was SIGNIFICANTLY over priced. I went back and forth with the guy for 2-3 months, provided him several examples of similar cars selling prices, yada yada yada. Like many of us know after pumping zillions into a 914, that does not make the car worth what you put in. I dont think he could grasp that concept. Oh well.
I started looking for another one in the states without much luck (I specifically want the mirage/wide bodied lemans car). Well, car guys are car guys and in my looking around I stumbled on this car. It reminded me of the 914, in that is started out as a plain-jane mid year, but then was significantly upgraded/modified. The current owner has had the car less than 2 years. The previous owner had it for over 20 years and did all of the stuff to it. It is extremely clean top and bottom. NOTE: I will throw out the same disclaimer I sent to the Colorado group - I loved the 80's (what I remember of them.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) ) . Please rember that when looking at the pics - ha! Hopefully having this will not get my shunned by the 914 group. I will happily throw a 912E badge on the back if neccessary! I plan on swapping out the headlights for the euro stuff, and will most likely find a new decklid so I can lose the tail (not really my thing). Oh, and what is the deal with these car stereo companies? What is wrong with making speakers and deck units that are simply BLACK. Sheeesh. Attached image(s) |
