Here's my replacement; starting on the Suby swap soon. The 2.0 engine with Delorto carbs may already be spoken for! Stay tuned Suby fans!

More info on the car.

Its an original paint, two owner car with about 83K miles; very stock except for the wheels. Note the holes in the rear deck lid; PO removed the luggage rack. I'll likely plug and repaint but haven't totally made up my mind on that yet.

Re: the wheels, the PO told me they are rare 14 inch "Gotti" two-piece wheels and very lightweight; never heard of them before. I googled them but saw nothing in four bolt or 14 inch; my guess is they are from the 80's. May have some racing application on the right car in 4x100 but look small on the Teener to my eye. I will be replacing them with 911 Fuchs, size TBD; likely 6/7x16 on 205/55 and 225/50 if I can get the rears to fit without body mods. If not, will possibly go to 6x16 all around or maybe 7/8x15 (if it doesn't break the bank). Also planning on 911SC front end and associated suspension/brake/steering mods.
