Ok, so I have been trying to connect with this friend of mine for a while, but or schedules keep getting mixed up. Why should you care? This guy has some pretty amazing stuff tucked away in his garage and he wants me to help him sell it. What kind of stuff? To be honest, more than I could keep up with when he was reading me off a list of things, but some stuff worth honorable mention:
-914/6 GT M471 (from the factory) that was Garry Wigglesworth's back up car when he raced at Daytona! It last sold for $232,000! All the pieces are there including the extra twin plugged engine. I will have more info on this later... - $70K worth of parts! Lots of hard to find stuff, wheels of all types, 11 bodies (some running, some not, all solid) - Lots of 356 parts...too many to list, more info later - A 67 911 soft window targa, one owner, was recently acquired from a museum, is getting fresh paint, 60K original miles and everything is in excellent condition. - A 70 911E, with all S options for that year, 2 owner, 42K original miles, paint is getting touched up, in great shape. And this is just the tip of the iceberg! Honestly, it was hard for me to keep up with the things he has. I am going to his house to take pics and start a list of stuff he wants to sell. What do I want from you all? Send me your parts requests! I am always interested in keeping our community fed with parts so our cars can stay on the road. I am sure he has what you need, and if not he seem to know someone. Also, I need your help in finding the best places to list 356 stuff for sale. I am not wise in the ways of the 356. 911 stuff I will likely list on Pelican. He also has a 1.7 914 with delortos that hauls (yes, a 1.7) and is fully race prepped if anyone is interested. And, he has an old (70 I thing) FIAT auto that he wants to sell that he is not looking for a fortune for. He said that its weird, but the autos go faster than the sticks and that there is a guy that has been winning some SCC race (forgot which one) every year with a car like this. More info to come........makes you feel like this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) huh? |

QUOTE(Dr Evil @ Aug 6 2007, 02:04 PM)  Damn pics are taking too long so I will do the posting about the info that I gathered. About the 914/6 GT from Gary Wigglesworth: As stated, I may have gotten some facts askew. I have gotten them straight now and here is what I was told. The car was Gary's, he did customize it to be the back up for the famous Daytona run, it has an installed factory M471 package of which I found out today is not a complete package unless it includes the 906 engine (he has the twin plugged 906 that was one of the Daytona engines and is for the car). I spaced and did not get the VIN but will get it tonight or tomorrow (sorry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ). I have lots of pics coming up of the car. It is solid and has a lot of special touches that Gary did to it. Request shots as I am loosing my mind around all this stuff and it is hard to keep up. This car was not finished and is needing assembly. Also, this car did not sell for the large sum, that was the actual #5. This car is worth some coin, though as the engine alone is worth $50k. He would likely sell it for $100K, but the more he talked to me about it the more he was interested in finishing what Gary started (long time friend of his). I told him he should keep it and have it as one of the ones he keeps. Another /6 that I need to go see as it is in a museum somewhere, is an original 70, Zambeze green with factory chrome wheels (a $17 option he was telling me) that has only 230 original miles on it (yes, not a typo). He said that the original window stickers were placed on the window behind the driver and were held in place with masking tape. He has the sticker and tape that coiled up after time placed in the door pocket and left the tape residue on the window. I cant wait to see this one. He has some very special racing parts that he got from Bill Miller when he stopped racing. I have some coil over front struts infront of me right now that he wants me to sell. He has sooooo many parts and they are not crap either. Like redone MFI set ups, carbs, cylinders, he said he has at least 10 2.0 motors sitting in a ware house near here. Let me see if I can get the pics up. I need to resize them . The two 914/4s that I saw today were rough, but they are the worst he has he said. Here is some updated info on the Yellow 914/6 backup car of Gary Wiggleworth's. My info source is someone who worked with Gary and is very knowledgable of the car, it is a 914/6 yellow roller with steel flares in the rear and has fiberglass flares on the front. There was a pair of steel flares for the front when the car was recently sold a couple of years ago prior to all of Gary Wiggleworth's inventory being auctioned off for pennies on the dollar. The car is not a factory M471 package which even if it is being sold with the 906 motor make the car worth a whole lot less than $100k. IMHO maybe $40K if it is a complete 906 motor. |

Why don't you just boot medical school and go into the car and parts business. Between this and the umpty window bus and the VW pickup, you should be able to live comfortably.
the VW pickup would be cool. |

Herb, wheels, yes, but you are like #3 in line for a 911 front end.
To all of you, I am running out of time to study so I am gonna suspend the parts stash documentary until Sept. If you sent me a parts request then I will be contacting you if I should have the parts. Other than that, I will be peddling the remainder in the proper place (classifieds) when I get time. The good news is that my friend just gave me full governorship over his stashes and said to sell them at my leisure and for what prices are fair market. He is gonna get me a key to his main garage to help facilitate this. I hope to disperse these parts starting in Sept. Thanks for all of your interest and I look forward to making our cars better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |
