I am heading over to look at the slant nose 75 in Fountain Valley, its not really Fountain Valley, its Gargen Grove. I am going to look it over and see what all is there and take lots of pictures for you guys. I know you all love slant nose cars after all I have heard in the complaints about my car. But that is what makes us all individuals. I actually like the slant nose look but to each his own. Anyway, pics when I return. I will post them here since it seems to suck my bandwidth down so much if I post them on my server. It sucks browsing the interent when 20 people are downloading pictures and video.

Ok, I went and looked at the car. It does have some bubbles in the paint and some extensive body mods like I have not seen before. It looks like someone did a sorta 6 conversion on it but never finished. Crappy job to top it all off. Lots of rust in both sides of the engine compartment and a big hole through the long under the battery. Here are the pictures I took, you be the judge.

As you can see it was blue. Olympic blue to be exact. Here is some rust pictures you all should be familiar with.

Rear trunk filled with ? Is that a 6 tank? Or is that a 911 tank? Either way, its in the wrong place. Goes right through the floor of the trunk and hangs down below the car.

The front, Through the spiderwebs you can see a 911 underbody sway bar. I also noticed a factory front sway bar with no drop links.

I took some other pictures but they are so much like the others I didnt feel it needed. He wasnt interested in ending the auction early. He is a Porsche mechanic and pretty much knows what he has. He said if it doesnt go as high as he wants he will end it and relist it again. Nice guy, hates working on Porsches now, prefers BMW and Mercedes.
