No. Owners cars. Sentimental value. We are shutting down the old shop. Just getting around to renting the boom lift to get the cars down.
Bringing lots of 911 seats, and short hood parts to Hershey to sell really cheap!

You know I get tired of poking around my garage and finding cars hiding... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Seriously, what a sweet find.

Mark, just out of sheer curiosity, what kind of rotors are on #333? Being 4-lug, I've always wondered how most 4-lug racecars did their brakes, since the stockers weren't ventilated.

I'll check on Monday. The red car had a hot 4 cylinder and is pretty light with lots of glass panels and flares. The orange car is even lighter and had a 6 that eventually went into TC's silver back date.

There used to be aluminum billet hubs that allowed one to bolt on 911 vented rotors and 911 calipers to the stock /4 struts.

I did the drawings for them about 10 years ago or so?

Are you sure about that? The Motor in the BackDate was correct for the 1984 Chassis as I remember

I think the motor that came out of that 914 might have gone into the 911 he drove across country on his Honeymoon.

That car got hit and it's without an engine currently. We need to put it on a bench. Pull it straight and fix it back up. It was his first Porsche. I want to do it as a surprise for him.

... I've always wondered how most 4-lug racecars did their brakes, since the stockers weren't ventilated.


I remember seeing the brakes on Chuck Forge's car. Stock, as they had to be for the class at one time. The rotor was completely covered by an air duct, to get as much air onto it as possible. I think the caliper also had air ducted to it?

Chuck told me that the rules had changed to allow vented rotors, but he didn't bother because he had (finally!) gotten the non-vented ones working well and didn't want to mess with that.
