I gave away one better than that.

Posted by: smontanaro Jan 4 2011, 05:50 PM

L@@K, you know those marking make it RARE.

"Although it has a few blades broken, they will not interfere with cooling"

what about the broken ones that are hidden on the non pictured area?

Posted by: bobhasissues Jan 4 2011, 05:56 PM

I see a lot of stuff from that seller, the buy it now price or opening bid is usually way to high for the condition of the item. It appears to be stuff listed by Auto Atlanta. Can anyone confirm or deny who the seller is?

Posted by: rhcb914 Jan 4 2011, 05:57 PM

You have got to be kidding a few missing blades?? I wouldn't put that on an engine I was trying to blow up!


Reminds me. I have a pre-rusted battery tray I need to get rid of. Was going to throw away the dust, but maybe I should list it on ebay.

Posted by: dr914@autoatlanta.com Jan 4 2011, 06:01 PM

Yes I saw it. Some Knuckle is selling it for the markings hoping some racer will buy it who actually would break out blades to save horsepower!!!

You know how it goes. At least the thing comes in pieces so you can unbolt the blade array and replace it with a good one!!!

Posted by: orange914 Jan 4 2011, 06:16 PM

isn't ebay great...
is that the rare O.E. dust? how many oz.'s worth? l@@ks like you could steal potential buyers from that very unusual, timing marked and highly desired fan

Posted by: GeorgeRud Jan 4 2011, 06:55 PM

I always thought that this seller was Auto Atlanta, but maybe not from the Dr.'s comments. I'm sure his sign-in name is not helping Auto Atlanta's business if that is the case as most of his stuff looks questionable like this cooling fan.

Posted by: Sleepin Jan 4 2011, 06:57 PM

What a rip off! I would be ashamed to give that away. Looks like a seller on ebay that I will be steering clear of.

Posted by: SLITS Jan 4 2011, 06:58 PM

Nevermind

Posted by: timofly Jan 4 2011, 07:06 PM

Jeez, I been looking for one like that! I am short of cash, but maybe he'll take a trade. I have a tire that's only flat on one side, so 80% of the tire is fine.

Lional works for George, ( i think) I needed a part for a heater defrost lever

he had a POS one that had the part I wanted. I bought it, ( cheep) they sent me one without

that part. I emailed him he sent a good one free of charge.

I seems that what he sells are the bottom of Georges stock,last place

I would use. Dave

I'm guessing your tongue is in your cheek, as it's unmistakably AA as stated in the ad.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised the Dr would make a comment to mislead people. "Knuckle." Really Dr? You said "the Knuckle." Was that your idea of funny?

Dang it, every time I tell myself I'm going to stay out of it, he pulls this crap again and my tongue-biting discipline caves.

I just don't understand why he isn't embarrassed about an ad like this. Who calls a fan like this "nice" and feels good about themselves? I sure as hell wouldn't put my name on that ad. Yet this is typical of AA ads. I've come to expect this from AA now and cannot trust them. Sad.

The TDC thats marked opposite the factory marks isn't exactly 180* from true TDC.. The index marks can't be right, even if they were you could not see them when doing any timing or valve adjustment procedures..

The position where the blades are missing from aren't symmetrical enough for this fan even to be used for a 12 blade race fan...

It needs to be put in the garbage and the person who indexed it, or even thinks it can be used needs to be slapped... So... He states that all those impeller blades missing doesn't impact cooling, but how about dynamic balance?? One impeller blade is generally worth 2 grams of imbalance... What about having 3 missing in a row?

classic... freakin classic...

Maybe I misunderstood, Dave, but if you bought an item, then that item showed up missing a part meaning you had to contact the seller to get you the missing part, why do you feel like he sent you one "free of charge"?

If " Bob " pays hooker " candy " for sex but hooker " Candy " only provides "Bob" a B.J. then " Bob " did not get what he paid for. Now then, if " Bob " complains, and " Candy " gives " Bob " sex then " Bob "gets a B.J. for free. Simple

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jan 4 2011, 10:46 PM

Perfectly clear now, however... this fan looks like a is headed the unsuspecting buyer's way. And I bet our Lil' passionate buddy could give a damn.

Posted by: championgt1 Jan 4 2011, 10:57 PM

For only $50 more you could throw in these.

Here's the eBay auction of a total POS -6 tub he cut the VIN's from and mentioned "in the ad" that you could title it from VIN's cut from another car! Busted:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=83314

Check out the POS he's trying to pedal. I liked James comments regarding "Perfect for the early 914 restorer who desires to update to the later superior shift linkage and window mechanisms." Window machanism? It doesn't have any doors!

Buyer Beware !!!!!

Sucker Be Warned !!!!

Posted by: Rod Jan 6 2011, 05:16 PM

Sorry, so is the owner of Autoatlanta selling these rubbish parts on ebay and then posting in the thread? Or have i got the wrong end of the stick??

If that is the case as I suspect, sorry but what is he doing here on 914w? Surely this place has a great moderating team, but why on earth is he still here?

EDIT - ok just clicked and saw that it is the same guy and I'm amazed - I have his books and have read them and thought what a knowledge the guy has, I was somewhat in awe that someone had studied the cars so much. I know thats what us professionals do, I have a retail business in which I have to uphold the standards of the products I supply, but I don't get what's going on in his head?? He is posting on his own thread!! - Has he lost his mind or inhaled to much carbon monoxide??

Yet another quality aa race car project
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsche-944-turbo-951-car-parts-race-/230516845917?pt=Salvage_Parts_Cars&hash=item35abdfed5d

Porsche 944 turbo 951 car for parts.

What you see is what you get in this fabulous buy. This is a 944 original turbo car for parts. It obviously had a slight burn but has a wealth of parts left including an engine bottom end. What you see is what you get. Transmission has been sold.

Wow. That is all.

Posted by: 914rat Mar 1 2011, 03:44 PM

There are many places to buy 914 parts, my suggestion is to find the most reputable source you can live with.I prefer the ones that use vasoline, kiss me first, and have a no hassell return policy.Parts are expensive and these suppliers need to make a profit to stay in business.They don't need to play everyone as a sucker to make a living.

Posted by: RJMII Mar 1 2011, 04:00 PM

They must have been using a cooling fan like the one the OP posted.

Posted by: dr914@autoatlanta.com Mar 1 2011, 05:54 PM

And can you believe it? Look at all of the other items this guy is selling!
