That is a pretty car! I didn't have the patience to let all the pics load....does it ever show a pic of the engine? I'd like to see what that looks like! Also it says it's a 2276 - I wonder if it's a type 4? Should I go back and wait forever for all the pics to load and see the answers???

Hi,
The data plate showed the car is built in Orange Ca. That's where Fat Performance is located and it's a good bet they did the type IV engine. They make a 911 type shroud like the one in the pictures. I just installed on of their engines in my 73 914. (2.2 liter with 44 webers.) Haven't had it on the street yet. I'll be in the Peoples Republic of China for a few days but should have it running when I get back. That is one of the best replicas I have seen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Cheers, Elliot |

OK, It runs now, and pretty good too! Group: Members Posts: 1,445 Joined: 3-January 03 From: Santa Clarita, Ca Member No.: 85 Region Association: None |
Great Car! I got to drive one a couple of years ago. It belonged to a friend of a friend. He paid $18K for it, I thought that was too much. It had a big T1 and finding first gear was bit squirrelly. It was fast and looks you get real fun.
I think the car on e-bay is also a big T1. look and the exaust and how close together the intake ports are. -Mike D. Attached image(s) |

very good mold work. nice looking car, but ralph nader would frown on the swing axle.
how in the hell do they keep the motor from overheating? the cooling air for the motor can come straight off the ground. the clutch set up looks pretty sano and the shifter linkage looks a tad weak. |

Ehh... I bid on it. Just $100 more... hee hee!
Reserver is at least $30K... I wouldn't go that high though... Go to the website for Vintage Spyders and the options alone total to over $30k |
