I wonder what they mean by "Bill of sale only", no title?

yeah no title....

thats the way I got my 914....

had to go through some hoops N hurdles to get a title for the car, and supposedly there is a title somewhere for my 914 now.

There is a guy on the Pelican board selling some of the 12 cyl engines for the 917...only $300k each. He has 5 of them. Get 'em while they last for your next conversion

Since it's not a street car there is no title. You'll have to find something else to use as a daily driver

Should bolt right up to a 901 or a 915 trans, right?

Is it wrong to get a tickle in my special place looking at that intake?

I don't remember Steve driving on the right side in "La Mans"

the right side of what?

all the LM 917's had the driver's seat on the right side, if that's what you mean. it helps *a little* because as a clockwise circuit, there are more right hand turns. this is true of most of the European tracks.

but mostly, it's done because the pits at Le Mans are on the right, and it's a little faster and safer to enter the car from the right.

The seat should be in the middle. 917's only seated 1, correct? Center of the chassis (i THINK).

looks like a god donor car to me...

Sell the rest after you strip it.

have you never seen a 917 in person?
get thee to a vintage race...

i think the Indy and F2 cars were the only center-seaters Porsche built...

Read the description and check out the full photo of the car. "blow your socks off paint scheme" more like blow chunks!

Aaron, now that your car looks güd, runs güd and handles güd, are you going to sell it and start another project?
