My Newest Addition - Flared '74, and a few photos Options

[Kansas 914]

I saw this car on eBay a few weeks ago. It was sold with a buy it now when I saw it - but since the car was only 200 miles away I contacted the seller and told him if the deal fell through I would come see it and pay cash. Well the buyer was a pissed off ex-girlfriend getting back at her recent ex-boyfriend - or so the story goes. Anyway - no deal - so I grabbed it. The guy I bought it from collects cars and ran out of room (has a very nice 911 but that is the only other P-car he had).

The car is very nice - I bought and drove it the 200 miles back home. It ran strong - I got it to 84MPH (it was still climbing) when I thought 200 miles from home is not the place to test this thing.

The motor is a pretty fresh 1.8L with Webers and a #91 Grind Web-Cam.

It has an interesting color treatment - a Blacked Out on Red theme. All the chrome was painted black and has a black rubber windshield trim and black wheels.

The flares are fiberglass and well done. I need to put new rockers and valances to match up to the flares - but that is about it. It has 245/60 on the rear and 215/60 up front.

Also - those Amber turn signals have to go - I will order clear Italian lenses for it. Wasn't there some "smoked" lenses around some time ago?

Oh yeah - no rust - zero - nada - none. The car was stripped in '98 when the flairs were put on and hell-hole was fixed then.

Here are a few pictures:
