Ok, so I have been trying to connect with this friend of mine for a while, but or schedules keep getting mixed up. Why should you care? This guy has some pretty amazing stuff tucked away in his garage and he wants me to help him sell it. What kind of stuff? To be honest, more than I could keep up with when he was reading me off a list of things, but some stuff worth honorable mention:
-914/6 GT M471 (from the factory) that was Garry Wigglesworth's back up car when he raced at Daytona! It last sold for $232,000! All the pieces are there including the extra twin plugged engine. I will have more info on this later... - $70K worth of parts! Lots of hard to find stuff, wheels of all types, 11 bodies (some running, some not, all solid) - Lots of 356 parts...too many to list, more info later - A 67 911 soft window targa, one owner, was recently acquired from a museum, is getting fresh paint, 60K original miles and everything is in excellent condition. - A 70 911E, with all S options for that year, 2 owner, 42K original miles, paint is getting touched up, in great shape. And this is just the tip of the iceberg! Honestly, it was hard for me to keep up with the things he has. I am going to his house to take pics and start a list of stuff he wants to sell. What do I want from you all? Send me your parts requests! I am always interested in keeping our community fed with parts so our cars can stay on the road. I am sure he has what you need, and if not he seem to know someone. Also, I need your help in finding the best places to list 356 stuff for sale. I am not wise in the ways of the 356. 911 stuff I will likely list on Pelican. He also has a 1.7 914 with delortos that hauls (yes, a 1.7) and is fully race prepped if anyone is interested. And, he has an old (70 I thing) FIAT auto that he wants to sell that he is not looking for a fortune for. He said that its weird, but the autos go faster than the sticks and that there is a guy that has been winning some SCC race (forgot which one) every year with a car like this. More info to come........makes you feel like this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) huh? |

A little more info, this guy is internet illiterate and all of his older friends are as well so he has identified me as the new goto man for decreasing the buildup of parts that they have amassed.
I was like, "well, do you have any sporto trannies? I am looking for one with the longer pinion for a V8 conversion." He was like, "No, but I know a local guy who does." How freaking lucky am I? |
