Found this on CL late Sunday and just picked it up in Oceanside. A Porsche 936JR
Needs complete restoration but I think I've got some considering how little I paid for it. I will start a resto thread if you all are interested. I am trying to acquire any information, photos, etc. that I can get to make sure it is done as correct as possible. |

The PO has had it for 20 years and when he purchased it in the 90's he said that it had been in storage in a warehouse in San Marcos, Ca. He said it was white and had some blue stripes so I'm thinking it had the Martini & Rossi team paint scheme on it. Now it has Rhino liner......sucks.....

Wow these I believe are quite collectable probably more $$ than your average 914. I think you are right about the paint scheme. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Here's one For Sale - my friend's has the same Jules livery https://www.stuttcars.com/collectible/20/ Yeah. Someone in Europe has one for sale for 18,000 euros. Really crazy huh? I think these are newer than mine so I'd like to see some pictures of an early one. They seem like they have a few more details than mine has on it. I just ordered a 2002 back issue of Excellence which had an article in it about them. So we'll wait and see. |

I have no intention of keeping it and would definitely use any money gained to get my 72 project off the ground. I need a six, chassis stiffening, and the flares put on.

That's cool man. 13.5 hp is a LOT for a kart-sized vehicle made in 1981. It's probably pretty fast. My 5hp go-kart was quite a handful when I removed the RPM governor back in the day.

Great find! Unless you really want to do a restoration, you'll make more money if you just flip it in 'as found' condition.

Great find! Unless you really want to do a restoration, you'll make more money if you just flip it in 'as found' condition. Thanks for bringing it up and I thought about just flipping it but I'd really like to do it. Actually have my wife's backing on it !!! I'll be talking to some local custom body shops in the next week or two to see if I can find the right guy to do the body and paint. The body seems pretty solid with a few chips and cracks but nothing major. Graphics and decals would be fun to chase....... The chassis seems pretty simple and will be easy to repair. I have four Welders in my shop and just bought a miller pulse mig system. They make great tools for me so this should be piece of cake for them. I'm going to think about for the next few days and not rush to any decision. |
