...and maybe that V8 ??!?

actually, i think that's a misprint, and i think $32,5k is probably a good price for the car. outta my price range tho ...

also IMHO, a removable-top (i.e. not welded-steel hardtop) car is NOT a 916 clone. it's a 916-wannabe at best. mind you, i think it's still probably a very nice car, but it shouldn't be misrepresented. does it have the proper sideshift 915 transmission and 2,7 RS-spec engine ?

I talked to this guy..

it is built on a 4 chassis. full docs saying brumos originally built the car. seems to be in very nice condition, as he said it was better condition than the 3.8 silver 914-6 on ebay recently (his friend). bowlsby among others said the 3.8 was NICE. guy really wants to sell it and would take any offer I think.

oh and not sure where the v8 came from, it is a 2.2S motor.

Posted by: redshift Jan 20 2004, 07:00 PM

I got lost when it said Peter Gregg, am I still not seeing the pot of gold that comes with it?

It's a V8, built for PG?

I hate the wheels. (I hope my post doesn't get deleted)

I'm pretty sure it is fiberglass flares also.

yeah, just throw on a bunch of cheap-o-plastic flares and bumpers and paint the top in body color and call in a 916-clone.

some people <_<

hah, didn't mean it like that! I don't believe you'd ask $32k for yours either. I just think steel flares and a real six chassis need to be there to get anywhere near that amount.

Posted by: redshift Jan 20 2004, 08:31 PM

I don't see any reason to have a /6 tub make that more worthy.

Brumos uses glass flares anyhow, and the ends of the 916 are glass.. so..

It's a V8..

One thing that is really dumb is that they actually moved the amber warts(side marker lites) to fit with the flares.

now you got me thinking!

i just added a decal to the back that says:
"916 targa"

i made it out of a "914-6-VW-Porsche" decal and a 9eleben "targa" piece.

is the car worth $32k now?

It's the only one anybody's heard of, if the world!

. .....I wonder if they got change for a freshly printed $1billion bill?
I wrote the nine zeros in after the 1, but that should make it worth a billion right?

Posted by: redshift Jan 20 2004, 08:54 PM

Yeah, I am serious. A /6 tub matters on a /6, once it's cut up, people call you a fool.

A nice /6 tub can be worth $10k, then you cut it for a V8.. you don't see that a cut /6 tub is about the dumbest thing since eating sticks of butter?

I like the buttery taste.

Damn! My glass is empty again...

Posted by: vortrex Jan 20 2004, 09:02 PM

I look at it this way...

this car is TWO conversions deep. conversion to 914-6 and then conversion to 916. could cut that in half with a real six chassis. to me, it's like making a relatively costly 914GT clone starting from a four chassis. doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Posted by: ! Jan 20 2004, 09:08 PM

My head hurts....

Posted by: redshift Jan 20 2004, 09:09 PM

Making it out of a /6, would be tantamount to cutting a 911S tub, to make a V8 RS clone, when you could use a T-tub..

Blowing money, and having purists try to kill you. Nice.

The 'upholstered just like Peter Gregg's' car that AA had would have been less money to do that whole conversion, you'd have a 2.2 /6 with around 50k on it, and metal flares, and it was a real /6... fucking bastards.

'scuse me..

Posted by: vortrex Jan 20 2004, 09:10 PM

this car is from AA.

Posted by: redshift Jan 20 2004, 09:13 PM

Maybe so, but it's not the one I tried to buy for more than they sold it for.

I have to agree totally with miles on this one. It doesn't make sense to build a bastard out of a gem.

Posted by: vortrex Jan 21 2004, 09:28 AM

you're right, does not make sense, and I wouldn't do it.

but... if the guy wants $30k+ it can't be a four in my opinion.

I'd would rather see someone do something like this to a real six though over making a hacked up track car.

You don't have to do anything.
