I looked at the super-size photos again and it looks like the same handle.
I can't see the bottom well enough to see the ratchet part.
In the front trunk photo there seems to be an extra line comming off the master cylinder area.
That would be consistant with adding a proportioning valve.
In that same photo you can see that he has the master electric cut off switch located in the trunk.
It should be on the outside of the car so you can get at it in an emergency situation.

To ALL of you out there. I am sincerely sorry. I am the culprit behind the ad on Ebay for the 916 clone, 914/6 GT, and whatever other mistakes I made. I am the Internet manager and when I placed that ad up there, I had based my information on a magazine article I had read on the Internet, a stack of receipts, and information that people had told me. It is impossible to know everything about every car. We carry such a wide variety that it is hard trying to properly display the correct information about every car. Sometimes I make a mistake. But ya know if it wasn’t for 2 of you that were kind enough to tell me the correct information I wouldn’t have known. So to Douglas & Lawrence I want to say THANK YOU! You are both Gentleman. I have made the corrections on Ebay. I wasn’t trying to misrepresent, mislead, or cheat anyone. If you think about it ….. who really is going to be interested in this car? It would be someone just like yourselves, who know what these cars really are. I am Sorry.

Frederick - If you are going post messages like this, you are liable to give used car salesmen a good name. Your honesty and integrity is to be applauded. If you read some of the other threads on this BBS you will find that there is a wealth of knowledge here. Sometimes dispensed in a ruthless manner. You are welcome here anytime.

I don't like the white-faced gauges, but then again I'm going to be customizing my gauges too, so I can't gripe too much.


What are you doing to your gauges? I need to pull out my gauges and send them to PA Speedo for complete refurbishment and custom screening. When they're done (800 dollars later, is the estimate), I think they'll be the gauges that SHOULD have been put in the 914!

I don't get the b-ing and moaning about "false advertising"
If you know what a 916 or GT is, then you know this is not what you're bidding on.
If you don't know... it doesn't matter anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The smog-issue on the other hand could cause problems

A big thumbs up for the seller to rectify his ad and even speaking up here on the BBS

The car looks absolutely great (has got me thinking about black again, I know I shouldn't but it looks so good...)
The modified front bumper and specially the splitter are very cool IMO

cheers,

Jeroen

Frederick is abviously a stand-up kinda of guy. You can't ask for more than the above.

Hey Frederick,

Do they let you take any of the inventory home for the night. I'll bet that car would scare the $$it out of you, I know it would me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Jeroen...

I bitch and moan about almost anything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

But if someone didn't know, they sure would after owning it for a while and running into a few other 914 owners. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I think there's no better color for a Porsche than black... when it's clean. When it's not (the other 95% of the time), it's just another dirty black car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Yep. I think it's cool that he corrected the ad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH KIM !!!

Frederick,

a) your caps key is stuck (we are even willing to advise on keyboard techniques)
B ) I'm not buying the car (insert cheezy salesman joke here) (unless you have a wild 914club discount (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )
c) welcome to the board! lol.

Oh --- toss in some gratuitous emoticons (those smiley things on the left) -- and you'll look like a pro here. (Well, not quite -- I've failed once today already) Oh well, the real message....

Have a great 4th!

kim.

Fredrickr:

Welcome to the group. I live in Orlando. Wish you were a tad bit closer.. I'd love to see the car.

It looks nicely done (but not for my taste). I could almost buy two of your cars for what mine will end up costing, so it's definitely true about how much money goes into these cars.

I hope you find the right buyer.

Your honesty will go a long way... and participation in groups like this will surely get you some good exposure.

Regards,

Karl Ellzey

Thanks Karl,
You guys have no idea how I felt when I received an email that said that I might want to see what is being said on this sight about my ebay ad.

I know there is no great trust of used car guys, and let me tell ya from the inside I see why. I try to do my best to be as honest as I can. I do believe that it is possible to do business in an honest manner. The problem I had was figuring out how to sign in to this sight. I'm glad I finally got it.

I think the red handle is for a 100 shot NOS. I still like the car as it seems well done.

Nope, one had air, and it was added. That the Gregg car AA has.
