QUOTE(URY914 @ Aug 3 2006, 10:09 AM)  That's right give a guy a load of shit because he is trying to sell his car. We have a problem here with beating up on cars that are on the market. I've done it too. Why do people do this? Doesn't really help anything. Doesn't take much to win a local PCA concours. I agree. In this case it is beating up an eBay car. Perhaps that isn't too terrible as we all know some of the stunts tried out on ebay. What really gets me is when people chime in on classified ads placed here by members. For whatever reason, people just can't resist the urge to voice their opinion as to the value of cars for sale here. I say, if you think it's over-priced, who cares. Shut up, don't buy it and move on. The sellers aren't placing the ads to get your opinion of value. I remember a while back that a guy wouldn't put the price of the car in the ad for this very reason and he got a load of shit for it. Frankly, I don't blame him. Serious buyers could contact him and negotiate and he didn't have to worry about all the "experts" chiming in on whether his price was right or not. :offsoapboxsmilie: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

QUOTE(Dave_Darling @ Aug 3 2006, 02:52 PM) QUOTE(Cap'n Krusty @ Aug 3 2006, 11:30 AM) ... Not to mention the way the TTS is mounted (might even be the wrong one!), ... the plugged ports on the air cleaner and the plenum... and the likely to be missing OE emissions equipment. Some of those, I think, are correct. The plugged port on the air cleaner, at least, is stock for late cars without the EGR--and many late cars came without smog pumps, cats, or EGRs. (IIRC, CA and MA were the only two states to have some or all of that on 914s.) And I couldn't even see enough of the TTS to figure how it's mounted... But "concours-winning condition"? That's not how I would describe this car. --DD OK. I'll trade the plugged air cleaner port for the outside mirror. The Cap'n |

I built the lightest 914 in the history of mankind. Group: Members Posts: 120,758 Joined: 3-February 03 From: Jacksonville, FL Member No.: 222 Region Association: None |
QUOTE(tdgray @ Aug 3 2006, 12:05 PM) And Paul... as usual you are on the extreme. I do not think we bash EVERY 914 put up here. Todd... I have read my previous posts to this thread several times now. I never said "we bash EVERY 914". I made my point and several others have now agreed with me. Seems like you’re getting a little personal. You don't have to agree with me but if your going to flame me get your facts right. But that's just me being on the extreme again... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

fellas!
I won 2nd place in a PCA Concours with CARBS & 911 code PAINT! GASP! Criminy. PCA has multiple classes. I DID NOT win a "prevervation" class. I don't have the inclination to look up all the PCA rules & classes, to find out what it was called, but I HAVE A TROPHY that says 2nd Place, Winterfest Concours D'Elegance. I love it. I was amazed. I told the a Judge before signing up about the inaccuracies, and his response was that for this event, for my car, it would be judged on the quality of it's condition, however stock or non-stock that may be. His 914 with 3.2 liter 6 did not place. So don't throw this guy off a bridge. It's not a Buick he is selling as a 914. |

Last concours I went to was years ago at Carlsen Porsche in Mountain View. Beautiful orange /6. I got down and peered under the wheelhouses at the transaxle... shiny new cad plating on all the fasteners, looked perfect... I involuntarily verbalized "wow......" the owner thanked me and shook my hand... it was the first COMPLIMENT he'd recieved in this totally NEGATIVE competition called "concours".....
