My brother-in law has a targa top that has a moon roof (Fixed plexiglass), was that an option or an aftermarket thing? On a 914.

A picture would be good ... maybe it's a Saratoga (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)


Anybody remember the story about a '63 Corvair that some lady listed in a classified ad for a really cheap price?... turned out to be a '63 Corvertte that belonged to her deceased son who was killed in Nam?


"you wanna talk about old ladies that dont know what they got? listen to this. my friend jeff told me about a buddy he worked with who likes to buy older cars (50s-70s era) and fix them up and sell them. his buddy saw an ad in the paper listing a 63 corvair for four thousand dollars, good condition. naturally, this piqued his interest, as corvairs are worth much more (I think. they aint fast but still sought after). anyway, its this old lady out in the country who's selling it. she tells him its out in the barn and he can take a look at it. he goes out to the barn, comes back and tells her he cant buy it for that much. he needs to give her more. the lady kept insisting that he buy it. he told her she didnt know what she had and she said she wanted to get rid of it. well, turns out the corvair was no corvair but actually a 63 corvette stingray split window. needless to say, the guy bought it, then sold it for close to 70 grand and made a down payment on a house!"
