Deborah Stroud contacted me recently to ask for my help in moving Jeff's car onto a new owner. While the car obviously holds significant personal value for her, she's in Texas now, with no trusted contacts to work on the car and more importantly, it's not getting used the way it should. So she's decided, after much soul searching, that it's time to let the car move on. I'm going through my notes and Jeff's Build Thread. But I feel like there's a LOT of info missing about that car.
So for those of your who also helped build the car, or sold parts to Jeff, can you help me by posting anything you remember about the car? Here's what I have now: Jeff Stroud’s 914 1974 Light Ivory 914 3.2 conversion by Original Customs MSDS Headers Rennshifter Fully rust repaired 16x7 Fuchs Good condition interior. Elephant Racing PolyBronze all around. Engine access panel in firewall. Freshly rebuilt 901 transmission. Bilstein Sport shocks all around. Adjustable coil overs with 150lb springs in the rear. New windshield. Front mounted fuel pump. Rebuilt calipers. Oh and for those of you who are watching cars like this for sale, what's the market like now? I have an idea of what it's worth, but I don't really shop much for complete cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

I am pleased that Andrew Dalen and I got to get this car on the road so Jeff could drive it before he passed. Jeff sat with us all day. Too weak to work but he stayed by our side as we wrapped up some issues. When we were done, Jeff took me for a ride. Fast and fun. The smile on his face I will never forget.
God speed my friend... |

That had to be hard and I’m very proud of both of you... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
