The 914 race car arrived today, the 904 body is half built, but should be here soon. Very exciting!

Sorry to butt in, but.....
I also agree with Glenn. Authentic vintage race cars have potential dollar value and nostalgia value for the entire community. Your frankenstein car may come out to be very cool, but will have value only to you. I have seen a lot of well built 914 track/race cars sell in the recent past with no provenance, why not start with one of those?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
