...and maybe that V8 ??!?

actually, i think that's a misprint, and i think $32,5k is probably a good price for the car. outta my price range tho ...

also IMHO, a removable-top (i.e. not welded-steel hardtop) car is NOT a 916 clone. it's a 916-wannabe at best. mind you, i think it's still probably a very nice car, but it shouldn't be misrepresented. does it have the proper sideshift 915 transmission and 2,7 RS-spec engine ?

I talked to this guy..

it is built on a 4 chassis. full docs saying brumos originally built the car. seems to be in very nice condition, as he said it was better condition than the 3.8 silver 914-6 on ebay recently (his friend). bowlsby among others said the 3.8 was NICE. guy really wants to sell it and would take any offer I think.

I got lost when it said Peter Gregg, am I still not seeing the pot of gold that comes with it?

It's a V8, built for PG? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I hate the wheels. (I hope my post doesn't get deleted)

yeah, just throw on a bunch of cheap-o-plastic flares and bumpers and paint the top in body color and call in a 916-clone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

hah, didn't mean it like that! I don't believe you'd ask $32k for yours either. I just think steel flares and a real six chassis need to be there to get anywhere near that amount.

I don't see any reason to have a /6 tub make that more worthy.

Brumos uses glass flares anyhow, and the ends of the 916 are glass.. so..

It's a V8..

One thing that is really dumb is that they actually moved the amber warts(side marker lites) to fit with the flares.

now you got me thinking! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

i just added a decal to the back that says:
"916 targa"

i made it out of a "914-6-VW-Porsche" decal and a 9eleben "targa" piece.

is the car worth $32k now?

. .....I wonder if they got change for a freshly printed $1billion bill? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
I wrote the nine zeros in after the 1, but that should make it worth a billion right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Yeah, I am serious. A /6 tub matters on a /6, once it's cut up, people call you a fool.

A nice /6 tub can be worth $10k, then you cut it for a V8.. you don't see that a cut /6 tub is about the dumbest thing since eating sticks of butter?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I like the buttery taste.
