50/50 chance for me coming from Detroit.

I've got a complete 6 conversion kit to sell. Motor has one dead cylinder.


Plus boxes of other stuff.

Anyone else from the Detroit Metro area going? Setting up a vendor area?

Tempting, that is only 3.5 hrs from Detroit If My new engine is not hear next weekend I will most likely go.

In Nebraska. Bob, let me know if you need more corn pics.

Just an hours drive for me. I'll be there!

Packing the truck, just might need to put the trailer on to bring everything I want to bring.

Some shots from today:



Had to get the dumpster in there for Rob. Wouldn't be complete without a garbage can:


914 caliper front and center:


Rows of amazing Porsche's:


And some VW's...


Best of all, a VW won first place!

I see you made it. No wonder my son loved your 914!

Thanks again for the personal delivery...

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jun 8 2013, 09:04 PM

Made it indeed.

Big shout out "Thanks" to Brad and Garold for helping me load the unicorn back in the trailer. This solo trip is tiring.

Kudos, well done, and out-friggen-standing Eric.

Not only is your effort and car most worthy, but it is truly a STANDOUT in a row of getting-to-be-look-alike-boring-ass draggers. (sorry, 911 folks, but 911s are becoming a little to ordinary and commonplace nowadays).

Probably is tiring E, but I'd skedaddle home if I were you... V just posted a pic of N WITH HER BOYFRIEND!!!

Thanks Rob... At the airport now. CLE to ATL to SLC.

Thanks Paul... Didn't see you there (or did I?).

Great job Eric!

Posted by: Garold Shaffer Jun 9 2013, 11:48 AM

Glad to help. Your car is awesome. Safe travel my friend.

Posted by: sixnotfour Jun 9 2013, 07:20 PM

Can you tell us where you left your 914 ??

Good Job Eric..

Posted by: euro911 Jun 9 2013, 07:38 PM

Nice take home, Eric

I would hope that early SWB 911s still garner the respect they deserve

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jun 10 2013, 08:04 AM

Yes, left it with Fred Baker's (3x SCCA National) ex-crew chief. That's all I'm say'in. It should be firing on all 12 plugs come Parade.



I think it was "different" which is my guess as to why it won. There were a ton of really nice 911's there, a lot of late model stuff and... simply "try" to imagine all of the cool 356's that would haunt a "Stoddard" swap meet; then times it by ten! Line them up together and each one becomes a "white one" or a "blue one" or a "red one". There were about 1/2 dozen 914's there but none prepped in GT trim and almost all of the other were drivers. The nicest 914 there was Mark Taylor's "preservation" 1974 in the same color. We put them across from one another in the concours. Afterward we parked them side by side and took some pictures for the Stoddard catalog, web site and newsletter.

Eric's car stood out in the crowd and got lots of attention. Check out the camera mount on the BRG car. They had great weather for this event and a good turnout. The best part for me was being able to talk with all the 914 guys that were there! Ray
