After Amilia it was off to Chattanooga to pick up Kents -6
pictures of the engine showed what we thought was 5400 on the engine but once I got in close read 5409 with my phone ringing... it was Porsche calling to confirm/deny if 5400 was a match so it was perfect timing and got the confirmation it's a match For 5409 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Loaded it up and hit the road Attached image(s)

QUOTE(r_towle @ Mar 17 2015, 10:46 PM) Why can't I find a six like this.... I want a project 6 if anyone knows of one... I have a project six. Not a 914 but a '71 911E. Plenty of TN rust too! Matching numbers per COA Have most/all the missing parts. Not really for sale, but I would entertain unreasonable offers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)  |

Finally home and got the car unloaded and inside. The -6 was parked after a carb fire since they were not rebuild-able so it was a running driving car at that point. Engine does turn over but we lost the suspension console on the Pass. side along the way but Kent has replaced one before on my project.
More pictures later today... |

This is Drew, the seller of the car (this is my brother's account). Glad to see you guys made it across the country alright. I'm ready to see this thing torn down and built back up. |

Hey Drew, thanks for making everything go so smooth in this long distance transaction and all your help and extras. Quite an adventure. I can't wait to get started on this one but first I will be focused on Jim's 6. I finally own a 6 and I plan on restoring it dead stock. It's rusty yes but cool to see all the rare and original 6 parts that are there. I just picked up some rear calipers for it and there in good hands with Eric at PMB. I plan on rounding up parts for now and hopefully start on it by the end of the year. |

Andy! Thanks for everything! I don't know if I'm as cool as you. I don't know if I would be as easy going and lend myself and vehical to help tow a car back for someone else. You could have easily just headed home and skipped the extra work. Thanks!
Andy called me and said that he could grab the 6 I bought on the way back from his trip to Amelia Island so the next day I called him and said I would fly out and meet him in Tennessee. Everything went perfectly. I flew out Sunday night and was in Chattanooga TN. about 30 minutes before Andy. He picked me up at the airport and we headed to a Uhaul about 20 minutes away, where I had reserved a trailer. after we got the trailer, Drew's place was about a 20 minute drive from there. We loaded the car and parts and headed to a hotel for the night. We woke up at 6 the next morning and hit the road. We were home by Thursday night. Couldn't have gone any better. Thanks again Andy, your too fricken cool. |
