I wuz looking at Jim Chambers' 914/6 at the swap meat. With a casual glance it *looks* like hammered shit....but a closer inspection reveals a sound car.
No "thru & thru sucking chest wounds". All the basic gud stuff is there for a hotrod/race car. Restoring it to
CW specs would be a trial, tho. The guy next door (at the meat) had a complete 2.7L core motor(500 bucks) and I got to day dreamin' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ............

Don't recall any pics here but maybe. I found it on Rennlist classifieds but did not save pics. Car is back in the storage barn I share with Craig. Can't get any pictures until I return from Ventura, unless someone convinces me they are serious. Then I will go and get some. Trust me (and JP) it looks like shit. Original interior (tan) is there but seats, door panels and dash pad are shot. Carpet is sound but dirty. Back pad is not bad. Windshield is cracked, rest of glass good. Front hood is warped (I have a good one, included). Paint is fried/cracked. Only one repaint. Trunks, jambs are original Irish green. Still has the stickers under the engine lid. Bumpers are usable, top rubber is not (rear bumper is late style) No valances. Rear lid pivot bolts both sheared, brackets solid. Battery tray holds battery but is very rusty. Engine shelf/console below are solid. Engine # is correct and all there including air cleaner. Muffler/heat exchangers are stock. Orignal 14" fuchs. Worst apparent rust is a 2"x2" spot on r. rear quarter just above door handle (damn foam). Anyone serious, send personal mail to jimchambers41@hotmail.com.
