Howard, your 906 picture sure looks like a 907.

Posted by: SLITS Mar 7 2005, 11:57 AM

No, it's a 906, but front ends pretty identical. And Slits, is that the famous invisible Porsche?

Sorry I was looking at the wrong title.

Paul, here's my source info. I'm never wrong, and you're always right, so let's call it a 906.5 Pretty damn close!

Those are all great looking cars but what about the 356 Speedster?

You were right. I was looking at the wrong title for the picture.
It is the 907 and 908 that look close, until you see them side by side.

Yeh Howard, it's the "Stealth Porsche". On radar it looks like this:

Ron, I never saw a Lucas cloaking device that worked before. Thanks for the pic.

And how about this one. All 718's were neat, but the last one... RS61

Maybe if Moby dick was driven by a hot chic instead of a old gray haired guy you would get more votes.
yea that's Porsche Lynn.

Posted by: Rand Mar 7 2005, 02:32 PM

If Moby lost his tail, I would vote for him. Seriously Howard, that's a beautiful 914!!
(Ok, who else wants to sneak into Howard's garage at night and remove that whale tail?)

Hate the damn thing but too lazy to get another and paint it. Show up here with a good lid and a spray gun, and it's yours!

Posted by: Rand Mar 7 2005, 03:44 PM

Howard, do you have a progress thread / gallery / web site etc.??? I would love to see some more shots of your car... Upgrades? Inside? Engine?

Posted by: Toast Mar 7 2005, 03:54 PM

That Moby Dick is one ugly car!
Actually, the driver looks even uglier!

Posted by: Toast Mar 7 2005, 03:55 PM

Oh, wait, i've ridden in Moby before.
Hella fast and a bitchen smooth ride.

Posted by: Scott Carlberg Mar 7 2005, 03:57 PM

I voted for the Lowenbrau 962, oops, it wasn't on the list was it?

Carrera GT for me.

Thanks. Bought it pretty much that way on ebay. Have had some mechanical sorting problems, so haven't done much appearance wise. Think I posted some pix, will check and shoot you the link. Small block Chev, 901 tranny. Spend more time driving the 4 than working on the 8.

Back to the poll, interesting how the older cars did so much better than the newer ones. I always felt the early 60's produced the best looking sports cars, and most members agree.

I like this one.

It's a toss up between the 550 and 904 for me. I voted for the 550, but I wouldn't be picky. I hope to have replicas of both in my garage some day.
