QUOTE(73Phoenix20 @ Jan 11 2007, 12:01 PM)  He, He! ;>)) I got the nearly new Yokohama 205/50's for free with the perfect set of original Fuchs Alloys; being of the notoriously cheap 914 personality, I couldn't bear to throw them away and remount some TALL rubber, so there you are! And, like the tires, the Euro Lenses came with the car when I bought it... I actually had tracked down a set of mint NOS USA lenses (f & r), but never got around to installing them... I gave the new owner the choice, and he wanted the Euro lenses, so go figure! Good to have you on the Site, George! you know of course what a weird concours stickler I am ! Just say go to hell dr 914!!!! Great car. |

Paul: You should connect with Kevin Dunn in Stratford; he now owns my 73 2.0 as pictured next to the old CT Turnpike. I'm sure he would enjoy talking 914's! I think he is on here under his name... maybe you can PM him. Of course, I miss Max, but I think Kevin is the one to take over custody for the foreseeable future... |

QUOTE(914-8 @ Jan 11 2007, 11:14 AM) All the 924/944/968 cars are dead men walking. Ironically, the reason is because they are NARPs. Real Porsches get rebuilt when they wear out. 924/944/928 get sent to the boneyard at the word "Boo!" Well, your wrong about the 968. It is an ARP built in the factory at Stuttgart. The assembly line was shut down after the 1995 run to start building the 986 (Boxster). Here is a picture of my "real Porsche" Attached thumbnail(s)

But a lot of folks seem to find reasons to force themselves to like the 911's and Boxsters more... i.e. the recent article in Excellence on 911 vs. 986 vs. 968 BUT... mine says "Porsche" right on the engine cover, so that's gotta count for somethin'!!!

He, He!!!
Funny how now, ALL Porsches are water pumpers! Let's discuss the relative thermal efficiency of liquid cooling vs. air cooling systems No, let's not even go there! Just enjoy our variety of toys! Oh, well, half the fun of the hobby is trying to define the differences! |

We sold a 50,000 mile cabriolet last year for 9500.00 |

Oh, well, half the fun of the hobby is trying to define the differences! air cooled, engine behind the seats made Porsche unique, and that uniqueness has been lost along with the simple quality of the build. Tragic. |

But I do like the RSA's. |

But I do like the RSA's. I totally agree. The last of the good Porsches was the 89 911 hands down and the best 911 ever built. 87 88 89 those are the ticket. As far as utilitarian the 944 s2 cannot be beat for the price if you are comitted to driving a Porsche, lets face the facts a very low mile 87 88 or 89 911 costs as much as a 99 911 these days and a great s-2 can be had for ten grand and that is over paying! So have one of each a water cooled and an air cooled and have the best of both types of Porsche! |

Going range for a low mile Cab is something like 20K The 968s are a great open road car, like the 928, but give me me 2.0L teener on an autocross or DE track.

And of course Deals gap in Tennessee. PERFECT 914 roads (along with Road Atlanta.) Anyone who comes to the area please ask and I will give them a great route to drive. |

George,
I am interested in a 911 as a daily driver (3 season, I will use my Jeep in the NY winters) and I am starting the process of looking for one...(you know me, I will be looking for an original, low mile,documented car) is it possible to get the AC to work on an 87-89 911? I like the body style of the 911 up until the 964. your thoughts please thanks Joe |
