It's likely the same guy.
he has a 50 car collection
he is a national PCA concours competitor (right up your alley mike!)

he owns about one of every thing interesting..
I know he has a first year twin turbo for DE
A speedster for DE
a first year(?) factory cup car (around an 88 or so)
a 1976 912 with 46 original miles on it..

plus 40 or so more.

An ugly pickup always looks better with a ugly chick riding in the back. Truck must have hit a bump in the road.

Well I like it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
I'm a handyman, and being able to enjoy driving a 914 to a job is a dream come through!
With a nice hard cover, (to keep the tools IN!)
It'll be a blast! "Why yes I can be there in a sec.!"
I'm REALLY considering on doing one! I need more info. and importenly "Pictures!"

He did... just got an e-mail from him. Record time at that (back that is).

I think if we told him it makes the chassis stiffer he just might go for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I haven't seen this before. Seems it was made by the same coach builder as the other one. I'm not a big fan of this sort of thing, but this one is kind of cool, the gt pickup.

I think I was wrong, they say 2 were made, but I think that one was made by Gunnar Racing as a nurburgring-like safety car/truck.

Yep, the Ring safety car. I always liked that car. For more than one reason.

Huh, it is that car? - I've seen pics of that car, but I guess they were from sort of above and cropped and black and white. I didn't realize that was a pickup conversion. Although now I'm torn about if they should change it back - thought it was like a 4 converted as a tribute/replica. Cool to see big color modern pics of it, though regardless.

I use to buy all my parts from Bill Troutman back in the day. His dad had his shop next door to him and was an awesome metal fabricator. He would take me over there a couple of times and I drooled over his projects he was working on.
Afa the trucks go, I know he made one for him and one for Aase bros.

I don't think that was the safety car. I believe this was the safety car.

The Gunnar racing truck was a troutman pickup, there were two, one six and one four.

Gunnar restored the six to what you see on this page, as a "what if" safety truck. It did not originally have the flairs ect.

The 4 was in Colorado in a private collection for many years. I tried for 8 years to buy it from the owner without success.

It's now in the Rhode Scholars collection in NC. It was changed from brown to red many years ago, this is how the 4 looks now.

What is that thing? -a smog pump? -Sorry if this is a silly question. I don't think I've seen a 914 with that there.

I was looking for those pics and couldn't find them to check. Google couldn't find them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
