The one in this is actually belongs to another Cincinnatian. Same location though. Was that the orange car that was at the Cincinnati VW/Porsche Reunion and parked next to me? Yessir! Thomas |

QUOTE(1970 Neun vierzehn @ Apr 30 2013, 10:51 PM) QUOTE(casey944 @ Apr 30 2013, 04:31 AM) What is the story on the 904? If that isnt real it certainly is very convincing. I have been told (hearsay?) that the 904 was not a regular production line factory assembled car, but rather a 904 made with a correct 4 cam engine and correct repro parts and factory NOS items....... Correct, I was spending some quality time with a group of porschefiles just last night and the question did come up from me to someone who knows Porsches very well! The story is as follows, Marvin Simes (no longer with us) who owned Die Werkstatt in Dayton Ohio built this car. It is known and recognized more than any other 904 replica out there. If you ask Ken the owner he will tell you that this was one of the burned up chassis that he found in a barn and he had it restored but this is not true. John Dixon owned this fabbed chassis and it was purchased as well as the four cam engine and built. |

To be fair, impartial, and as unbiased as possible, I should also include some photos of distant cousins of the rear-engined VW Beetle.......
