Nice score. Looks like a couple of notchbacks in the last load (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)




What condition are they in?

No notches with this load, the one on the bottom middle is a C cab, and the one on the back is an A cab.

If you ever come across a speedster KIT car project, please keep me in mind.
I specifically want a kit.

Do you want just the body, or a complete kit?

The trip only went downhill from there. A friend in PA called and wanted to quickly sell his 82 SC, so I had to squeeze it on the back of the already loaded trailer, it was so overloaded I had to go 50mph the whole way home, it was hard on the nerves.

I thought Big John just pushed them on. Isn't he the one who does all the heavy lifting?


I would never attempt to lift a 911 motor, or carry a gearbox on my shoulder...

The engine looks like it's empty, no crank, chains, etc., so although it's still heavy it wouldn't be near as heavy as it looks.
It looks like a dummy engine for fitting body, engine panels, and fabrication.

The front of the trailer must have been heavy! to load the SC on there not backwards.

Nice looking SC BTW...would be a nice 1/2 power companion to my brother's 930.

Mark,
Good eye, it was a mock-up motor for fitting a six into a Beck 550.

We packed the front of the trailer very tight with parts, and since we had to drive the car on, it could only go on one way safely.

Rick-
That's a great way to phrase what was happening, it made for some slow going, but we got home ok, just tired.

I bought a SMITHY years ago and they could only fork it into my trailer a few feet due to the ramp. Most of the weight was aft of the axle and I couldn't drive over 45mph on the freeway (50 miles home) due it wanting to fish-tail (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

next time backing the 911 in might help a little bit.

M-
Had I been using my car hauler trailer I would have done that, but I was using my cargo trailer and it is much narrower, so driving backward up the ramp would have been asking for trouble, I already had to shimmy out the window, since I couldn't open the door. Like I said, last minute, not planned, and a nightmare, but it's all home, though the yard is a little full.

Are the Karmann notchback coupes worth anything now? There was a good while when they were looked down upon, and valued less than their standard coupe siblings.

The notchbacks still kind of are (looked down upon), but the rising tide has meant ALL 356's are worthy of saving.
