My track car sleeps with a 911 occasionally peeing oil on the rear trunk...

That's the 914-8 built for Ferry Porsche's 60th birthday! It was down at Amelia Island last March and is great to see how it was made.

No, that was the silver 914/8 car! The orange car was the test car that Piech drove for a while.

I was hoping my Six would be sleeping with the C4S....but my wife is now talking about wanting an SUV, so the C4S may be gone before the Six gets to know her - (this is my old garage- sold that house and my new garage looks like crap. I have no photos of the C4S in the new garage.)

Its interesting that no one has ever built a tribute replica to this car...... 
Which is interesting because these were tribute cars when they were built.

Well.......flat eight Porsche engines ARE hard to come by.... the other eight cyl. engines, 1. have been done. 2. are water cooled. 3. have a kink in the middle.
Not too sure about the 'tribute' aspect of the original two cars.

I had plans to do a copy of the silver 914-8, steel hardtop with a suby engine instead of the 8. Just to get the look of the car. But the shell I just purchased came with steel flares already installed so I have to go another direction. Maybe a "Huey" tribute car.

No, your eyes are fine. The two 908-motored cars were made out of pre-production prototypes. (Similar to the infamous Number Four.) None of the panels are exactly the same as the production cars, all are slightly different. And that was before they modified the car to take the flat-eight engine.
The rumor mill says that there was one other 908-motored car built a couple or a few decades ago. I haven't heard of it in a long while though.
And since none of the body panels are stock, it would be tough to do a complete replica.

Mama Bear, Papa Bear, Baby Bear.
I dragged home this '68 Honda "Scrambler" CL90 a couple of days ago. Its complete, with 7400 miles. But that doesn't mean much. You might see I opened the valve covers, pulled the sparking plug, drained the oil/water mix, tried to get the generator and clutch covers off, etc. The engine is toast, gearbox is locked up, chain is rusted, cables will have to be replaced...But hey!, this will be easy compared to most 914 projects.
I better get the orange conversion DONE first.
Posted by: rgalla9146 May 23 2015, 11:43 AM
My brother flew Navy C130s during the Viet Nam era and brought back many Honda 90s including one or two 90 Scramblers........ I must have put a thousand miles on them and never left our street.

Wow, that hurts. I had a 72 in similar condition. Actually the engine ran, but I had it out to work on a transmission problem and it was stolen out of my storage unit, along with my AC/DC welder a couple of years ago. Not sure which item I was most upset about. BUT, they did not find the seat which I think is in better condition than yours and if you send or pm me your address I will box it up and ship it to you. Hope all else goes well with it.

Au contraire, you took the picture upside down but your phone is smart enough to turn it around for you.
I looked into auto-rotating images for the board software, but it isn't actually all that simple to correctly detect rotated images.
The easiest way to avoid this is to remember which side is UP on your phone.

I thought of that; however, multiple software packages on my computers all portray the image as right side up, so inverting it there would make it upside-down on my 'puter...

But here is Betty ( the Cayenne TT ), Ted ( the Corolla ) ,Squeak ( the Liberty GT ), and Violet ( the 914 ).
Squeak is the wife's shopping trolley, and Ted is my old club car from year ago ( waiting for my sons legs to grow a bit longer )

Sold that cab long ago right after we got the GT3. It had 200k+ miles on it and still paid for the GTI and F250.
For us, the GTI is a utility vehicle, hauls tons of stuff in it (cab could not do that) and F250 pulls the trailer...
