Long story short I get a call Thursday about a track / AX car that has been sitting for a while in storage and the owner is ready to sell. It doesn't run and the wheels are "locked". I made the deal Friday and brought it home (used wheel jacks to get it out of the storage unit). I spent Saturday morning with my father in-law messing with it and fixed the fuel leak at the carb, replaced the battery. got the e-brake cable to release and well, took it for a spin (or two) around the block.

So it has a 2.7 /4 engine, 911 SC front suspension, steel flares, adjustable Koni's, welt sway-bar...blah blah blah..... and it looks kick ass. The PO had owned it since 1989 and had all this work done between 90-91. I love the car, but I can't keep it so I sold it to a friend of mine today. I have mixed feelings about letting it go, but at least I know I will be able to drive it ever now & then. And before anyone says anything yes I know I have a sickness, but I am thinning the heard. I sold the Blue bomber Thursday and I have a few people interested in the yellow 73 so that means I will be down to just 4 of them instead of 7.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I will post more pictures of the engine later. Attached image(s) |

Are those bumpers metal?
If so, somebody with an early /6 might be willing to pay you good money for the rear bumper ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
