Hey Steve,
Great to see you got your car out of impound after leading the Highway Patrol on a high speed chase. You did get it out legally didn't you????
Click to view attachmentSorry to see your race car go to a new owner, we had some good fun
But the new owner will be getting a fast, fully sorted, track car. So good for them!

Thanks, Greg.
I'll throw in a trailer, too. It's not worth a bunch but it works beautifully for a 914.

I'm cleaning the car for pictures, it's still all dirty from it's last track day. The ignition is a blue coil, .009 distributor, Pertronix, & MagNeCor wires. There is more expensive stuff out there but this works very well.

Great looking car!! This is the second track car I would love to have seen app. 6 months ago. I bought a nice bone stock 2.0 for 4k and have since began building a track car. Driving this thing must be an adventure, so the new adventure better be one hell of a good time!! Best of luck with sale.
