well, today i went an picked up another car. It is the beck 914 talked about in this thread. It was a nice looking car originally like in this pic. I like it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
EDIT: This is not the same car. I originally thought it was, but I recently found out different. This car was built by Randy Beck In California, and was then turned into the racecar lower on the page. It was sold to a woman on the east coast, and hasn't been seen since. My car was build by Dave Beck, a Brother of Randy. around 1995 it was in its prime. It had a 2.7, a getty design dash, a autopower roll bar, and other small mods.

well, since there arn't many parts.... I am thinking about using it mostly as a highschool driver/AX car.... might put a 3.2 back in it....I want it to look like the car in the first pic... but not a very expensive interior...racing seats.... not much on the dash... nothing in the trunks...except mabey a front mounted oil cooler..... It will still be determined.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

When I took the pictures, Randy Beck was working at Dave White Autosports in Tampa. TC Davis (carr914 here) bought the car and a bunch of loose parts boxes and sold off what he could. TC must have sold it to the person you bought it from.

Thats the first time I've seen that racing picture. I didn't know it was a race car once.

Did we see this car in the background of a photo that was recently posted here? It looks very familiar (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I really like that kit! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/shocked[1].gif)
