I think a 914 GT and a 911 RS is the perfect combination. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Oh, and I would like a Pagani Zonda as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) John |

Very nice! I would love a complete one, but until then, I have an SC part on my 914. Covers that Renn-shift very well!

Hi Mr Shea - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
I cant back date the exhaust unfortunately. Both the the year of the car and the year of the motor means I have to deal with the emissions nazis. I am thinking about making the muffler into a dual outlet sport (or maybe a triple outlet rally) - but that means cutting up the rear valance.... Not sure what to do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I could register it up in Keystone - but that is a PIA too..... |

Coolieo... making a mental list: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Keep tail Bring wheels back to stock Change headlight rings BACKDATE THAT DAMN EXHAUST My 81 SC flew through emissions no sweat, It had a Cat bypass, they looked right at it with the mirror, shrugged and checked OK for the box for Cat Converter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) But you are correct, sorta depends on who you get... I was (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) in the waiting room, that was after they pulled the gas filler flap twice trying to open the engine lid |

Great car, Scott! I was a product of the eighties too, and I absolutely love these 911's. I just think these bodies have so much more character than the newer 911's.
The whaletail is awesome - wouldn't look right without it. Whenever I see the newer silly little pop-up tails, I just shake my head. Go big or go home! Seriously green with envy. Nice score :-) |

Very cool car, I'd love to have the money for a 911...I know of one but a project wouldn't go over well at home.
'77 lightweight with the 3.2, that has to be fun! |

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. where in colorado are you? I'm in Durango |

More pics! I hadn't seen the interior Scotty. That's nice. I agree that tail has to go. And I'm not crazy about the body colored insets on the Fuchs. But it's your car! And it's a beauty.
We can hang out again now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Gint, you need a sticker (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) No sticker for me! Still have an 87 Carrera backdate in PPPPPrrooogggrrrrreeeesssssssssss. Oohwww... I didn't know that. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) That car is begging for a duck! You are only dipping your toe into the '80s. I dove in completely a few years ago. I got a poster of this car when I was 16 and was hooked until I was finally able to own it. I sold it after a couple of years of feeling like I was going to get pulled over every time I drove it. You bought a great looking tuxedo - mine was more of a leisure suit... |
