So this is where you crazy fuchers are hanging out? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
To be honest (last time) I've been lurking for a couple of weeks since finding this site and just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.... I've owned a six for 30 years or so but it's been buried in a storage unit for a majority of that time. I have a garage now and am planning on rustoring it as soon as my hand heals from an accident I had earlier this year. The car is an original six VIN914043281 that was originally signal orange. I bought it in '87 for something like 7k LOL. It had 74,000 miles on it but I don't know how accurate that is. It was candy apple red upon purchase and I painted it that color again after it was vandalized in SF. I don't have the original engine in it as it currently has a 911T. I find this site amazing with all the info that is stored here and the wealth of knowledge I have witnessed in these last few weeks of reading. I will have some questions for you guys in the near future and will be needing some advise as I tear into this car. Anyway I just wanted to say hello and to thank you for the laughs thus far. I'll include some photo's... Redwoods in the early nineties and one of the car as it sits today after a car wash to get the rust regenerated. Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

Yeah, well answer the damn question about the engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) no offense or criticism meant; I did start my reply w/ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Oh, and add your VIN to the database; upper right corner in "914 Info" and members VIN's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) All good my friend... I know that in time my sarcastic attitude will shine thru... or get my ass kicked. I am not exactly sure about the engine size or anything except I know it was fast. I once received a ticket for 140mph and had more to give. Where can I find the imprinted case # on the block and is it readable without removing any parts as I'm layed up at the moment. Is that color like a candy-red...I like those House of Color hues. But if you are going back to bare metal, then go original color for the value of your investment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Marty Yes it's a true candy paint. I'll probably keep the color as I have no plans to sell. I've held on to the car thru the hardest times in my life. I'm taking it with me when I go! Thank you all for the warm welcome. I really appreciate it and glad I found you bastards....This place is amazing. Its really helping me pass this down time and I've learned more about these cars in the last two weeks than I have in the past 30 years. Thank you to all that post here. |
