Posted by: Marcusw Aug 16 2013, 03:15 PM
Watching a quick documentary about Wilt on ESPN. At 7:05 they show him sitting in the driver seat of a green 914. Apparently he was a car nut. Check it out...http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9567471/bryan-curtis-tragic-inspirational-story-maurice-stokes
My questions is...who has Wilts's 914?

Back in the early '80s Wilt was driving a white Lambo Countach to the Mid-Valley Athletic Club in LA. Nice man. His car always looked like it needed a wash, though!

Ok, so apparently this was footage from a 1970 celebrity 914 "race".
Still funny to see his head over the top of the windshield.

Anyone get the vin's?

Yup... sadly, all destroyed. 
No VIN's lurking that I'm aware of.

Shea, you own some other stuff of Wilt's don't you?

David. You are getting confused with the RRC thread in the Garage where everyone was talking about Eric and the word 'wilted' kept coming up . . . a lot.
This Wilt is different.

No, the word people use the most around Eric is "flaccid". There is some relationship with Wilt. Perhaps he was mentioned in Wilt's book?
