My long term project Chalon has been sold and delivery has taken place. He dropped off his project for my evaluation, I may wind up keeping it as my new project car. It does have potential, it also is/was a V8 project but has been sitting for 3 years outside in storage. I just ran the engine casting numbers to determine what it actually is. It comes back as a 350 Target Master/Goodwrench motor but the dipstick is on the passenger side which makes me think it is a new style block. The description says this "10066036...350...........2 or 4...Target Master/Goodwrench crate motor, 2-piece rear seal, "Hecho en Mexico".

It came with a complete new in box Renegade cooling system, H gear and Billet intermediate plate for the transmission, and a lot more work than I anticipated. The body looks like it was hit in the front end at one time but there is little to no rust on this car. He also dropped off a front sway bar for it as well. It has cookie cutter wheels on it all the way around with M calipers on the front. There is no glass but I have a rear window and both door glass in existing parts. He also has a complete 72 he wants to give me as well. I can probably get most of the parts I need from that car. What do you all think? Pictures for your viewing pleasure?

Got them already plus the 72 has them also. He will drop it off in a week or so. I will know more then. I will probably drop the engine and trans tomorrow to find out what clutch and stuff the original owner/converter used. The parts so far all say RH on them including the radiator that is already in the car. It looks like the original old style one they used before going to the Ron Davis one.

Here is a picture of the installed Radiator, maybe someone who remembers the old ones from RH could speak up and let me know.

Yep! It's a Chalon MK1 original. The MKII had a different front bumper but other than that, they are the same car body. My other half liked your paint job also. Looks pretty good.

A "MK1", would you have any idea of the year that body style was done? It's a '74 2.0. I have yet to find any rust with the exception of some light surface on the belly pan. The stripes are coming off, just tape someone added on. Also I intend to paint over the rockers, black... seemed a little blingish! Thanks...

Can you tell me the difference from this to the MKII front end?

(I really have been reluctant to post pics here, I know most don't care for the body mods! ...but it was this way when I picked it up around Xmas time)

Thanks,
I liked the look except for the tape stripes and the rockers, the car was just too clean to pass up. It kind of rounds out my others!

Here is a picture of a MKII front end. The MKI is the early 911 front bumper and the MKII was the same except an air dam instead of a spoiler.

I was just out checking out the new car, I just found another plus on it. The car has the later 911 front suspension with the 3 1/2 inch spacing on the front calipers. Isnt that the one that allows me to go with the bigger 944 brakes?

944's are 3.75" spacing......

you CAN slot the ears an 1/8" each, and put em on a 3.5" strut... they require 16" wheels....
