For Christmas my little sister bought me a nice Porsche book (don't ask for the name of it, I cannot remember it)
It has in it what is claimed to be a 1982 916....a breif story: In the late 70's a Porsche worker who owns an original /6 brings his car to the factory where for 6 years the car undergoes the transformation into the 12th 916 ever made.....it sounds like he did the work himself... No hardtop, instead a full cage is installed......... Now as far as I can tell, everything else has been "upgraded" or changed to "convert" it into a 916, but what is the general consences??? Real or replica??? I would call it a 916 replica and not the real deal unless Porsche had there hands on it more than just a worker moonlighting in his spare time to do the conversion. |
