Came across this on eBay. Seems to be worth further inquiry. Replace the BUBs with early bumpers and you may have a nice car. I have no knowledge of this car other than what is listed on eBay.

According to the auction, it appears to be in Loveland CO.

The VIN is in the database and is associated with a user here that hasn't been active since 2010.

That looks like a damn nice red car. Most folks would be hard pressed to recreate it for the Reserve price. A lot of nice parts and it appears to have been completed with good consideration for most all components from what I can tell. BTW...I think the the 75-76 bumpers look great and separate the car stylistically from most all other conversions that pop up for sale...I guess I am biased...My yellow 6 conversion is below! Gonna be very interesting to see how this sale goes! Good luck to the seller.

For those who wonder, these cars are amazing with a 2.7 power. Pretty much a bargain at BIN price.

16x7s are all the same. the 8's are 951 & 911 specific

Looks nice, but I would be very cautious... 0 feedback is always a red flag.

Posted by: bcheney Mar 24 2015, 07:12 AM

16x6...just like on the front of a 84-89 911.

I was wondering if that was Lyle's... Always wondered if he finished that car, now I know.

Anyhow, I'm close too, if any serious buyers need eyes on it.

Did You Buy It?????

Posted by: matthepcat Mar 27 2015, 06:22 PM

$22,000 wow. I guess I have an idea of what the market is paying for 6 conversions.

Maybe mine will be for sale soon.
