His name is Mike Floyd. I used to have his phone and email but can't find it...
You can usually catch him at Wes's shop in Plano.

It's a great car with an equally great story behind it; surprised you don't recognize yer fellow Texan. Maybe Clay will chime in; they drove out together from Texas to Alberqurque.

Clay?

Thanks Bryan,

Is he on this board or the NARP board ?

Did he buy that car from Rich Johnson? If so, then that is one of the finest custom Teeners I've ever seen. Looks like he sanded & painted the roof since this photo. Tan interior w/ 911 dash?

Don't know who he bought it from; but it is tan interior with 911 dash and is really a great looking and great running 914

You got my PM?
Not sure if he is on this board or NARP.
I met him at Wes's a few times and we both live in Frisco so we have bumped into each other at restaurants once or twice. We have talked about hanging out and working on our cars but I have a 4 year old and it is hard to do much...
I don't know the history of his car but is very nice

Rich Johnson helped Mike aquire the car through the ebay sale -
The car then spent a bit of time at wes's shop getting all the kinks out...

If I have my story straight, Rich did not "build" this car, but advised Mike and Wes after the car was aquired - I believe the car was originally in North Dakota?

I thought it was in Rosemont, IL?

I remember Mike saying that the owner who put it together spent way too much money,
primarily because no one in his area knew the cars very well,
and he was also not happy with the way it ran, and his mechanic could not get it fixed...
Doesn't sound like IL to me.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Sorry -

To me it does... I remember the same story- too much money putting it together & was not happy w/ the un-tweaked results. Perhaps it was there before it went off to ND? Or perhaps I'm an old fart now & got some brain cells crossed up in my head & remember wrong? Either way she's cherry & worth every penny.

Rich Johnson helped Mike Floyd acquire the car. Rich didn't buy it.. it was not up to Rich Johnson's Standards (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

It spent a significant amount of time in Wes Hildreth's shop getting all the problems with the conversion corrected. But it is a beautiful car.


Mike (And also Rich) appear here sometimes. If you want me to relay info to them, I can, but I won't give out an email address without their permission.

I've got to put in 2 cents.....

Mike is the nicest guy
and that car rocks!

he rebuilts the motor to get it where it's at.
and it IS fast!

boy is it fast....

also people should know how nice Mike is.
I had trouble with my tow vehicle last year.
Mike didn't even know me......
but he ran us back and forth to town....
bought all kinds of parts and helped.

definitely a good soul!
