Ok, so I have been trying to connect with this friend of mine for a while, but or schedules keep getting mixed up. Why should you care? This guy has some pretty amazing stuff tucked away in his garage and he wants me to help him sell it. What kind of stuff? To be honest, more than I could keep up with when he was reading me off a list of things, but some stuff worth honorable mention:

-914/6 GT M471 (from the factory) that was Garry Wigglesworth's back up car when he raced at Daytona! It last sold for $232,000! All the pieces are there including the extra twin plugged engine. I will have more info on this later...

- $70K worth of parts! Lots of hard to find stuff, wheels of all types, 11 bodies (some running, some not, all solid)

- Lots of 356 parts...too many to list, more info later

- A 67 911 soft window targa, one owner, was recently acquired from a museum, is getting fresh paint, 60K original miles and everything is in excellent condition.

- A 70 911E, with all S options for that year, 2 owner, 42K original miles, paint is getting touched up, in great shape.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg! Honestly, it was hard for me to keep up with the things he has. I am going to his house to take pics and start a list of stuff he wants to sell.

What do I want from you all? Send me your parts requests! I am always interested in keeping our community fed with parts so our cars can stay on the road. I am sure he has what you need, and if not he seem to know someone.

Also, I need your help in finding the best places to list 356 stuff for sale. I am not wise in the ways of the 356. 911 stuff I will likely list on Pelican.

He also has a 1.7 914 with delortos that hauls (yes, a 1.7) and is fully race prepped if anyone is interested.

And, he has an old (70 I thing) FIAT auto that he wants to sell that he is not looking for a fortune for. He said that its weird, but the autos go faster than the sticks and that there is a guy that has been winning some SCC race (forgot which one) every year with a car like this.


More info to come........makes you feel like this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) huh?

Of course! I plan on documenting all of it. All the VINs will be put in our data bank. I am not sure what he wants for the GT, I get the impression that it is some assembly required, but not in need of repair. I may be seeing him Sun.

He also has an original 914/6 with like 5K on it or something like that. I forgot the details, but I know he is gonna sell it eventually, too.

A little more info, this guy is internet illiterate and all of his older friends are as well so he has identified me as the new goto man for decreasing the buildup of parts that they have amassed.
I was like, "well, do you have any sporto trannies? I am looking for one with the longer pinion for a V8 conversion." He was like, "No, but I know a local guy who does." How freaking lucky am I?

I've been searching for the right early 911 (69-75) and might be interested in a 356 shell. Kick me pricing and picture if possible. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Cool, pics will be posted here and pricing will be negotiate after (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I figure this has more benefits than just selling parts and is why it is here instead of in the classifieds. When I get all the historical, neat stuff cataloged and posted for us to oggle, I'll put a post up in the classified to just pimp parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Gotta PM me big guy. I figure with the PM I get a time stamp in my email in box when I get the notice so I know who asked for what when, and I have a folder with all your requests in it so I can just compile from one area in stead of having to comb through threads, too.

Mike Mueller of the 356 registry would be your best bet for the 356 stuff. Avoid PP or Rennlist, not enough 356ers there.

Not to be confused with our Mike Muller, although they do know eachother.

I know the 914-6 GT that Gary owned was 9140431017. Prior to him restoring it back to it's 1971 Daytona livery he autocrossed it in solo II and PCA events. I understand it was sold sometime either before or after he died. I'm not aware of him ever owning a '71 or '72 M471 914-6. I look forward to hearing about it.

You are now one of the people that I am interested in hearing more from. I am, admittedly, ignorant when it comes to the racing heritage of our cars. Info like you just posted is great for this thread as it will only serve to verify/clarify things that I may miss post.

He bought the car from Garry's family after he died. He mentioned something about the title still being in Garry's company's name, and that his company was in York? Tranz something or other.

My currently missing details will hopefully be rectified soon.
