So....a lot of world mebers own tail draggers aas drivers and not "donor vehicles"....I have one, the oft maligned bastard cabriolet that has an 83 SC frame, 72 body panels and a 3.6 stuffed into the rear.

Today I talked to Rich in Eugene. He's picking up a 911 for CHEAP. Rich also goes by "Shade Tree" and is a good friend. He'll post pics.

Let's get a list of the wankers who secretly own the "other pinky lifting Porsche".....wasser pumpers doan count.....

BTW, I DO have a 914/6....I hope it will be at WCR.

And here it is....proof.

It's the one on the bottom.

That's a donor car, smart errr, short guy....

WHERE"s my A/C stuff?

No 911 thread is complete without this.

In the same place as my engine stand.......

Good to know...any chance of getting before summer?

Pretty....did I do the graphics?

Eh, Z-mobiles don't count....they are their own monsters

However that 914/6 looks factory fresh, nice!

Just needed a few pieces...inner fender and such.

Rich

Actually no, years ago my ex-wife and I had a sign business and we did all the vinyl graphics for Hank/GT-Racing when he was in Bloomington,MN.

I still have all the files for the graphics somewhere (Flexi-cut program)

Paul

No secret here either... I don't even own a 914!

Still have the files? Would love to look and see if you have anything interesting my customers would like...

That color is beautiful, I like that car and I am not really a 911 fan.

Not sure if this counts.. But this red 1970 Targa came in to a shop while I was working on my 6 .. must have been around 1976 My Wife wanted it bad enough to sell her Sunbeam Tiger for it

That was her DD for some time.. A few years ago I convinced her she would like this instead of a Cabriolet

That didn't last long.. Then my mechanic found this for her for 9000.00 I keep telling her to make sure it gets hit in the nose when the time comes. I want the 3.2 for something else..

I still have the 6 though..

+1 I've seen it recently too... nice car but get a real trailer will ya...

You got to keep the cars?? How did her lawyer miss that?

Pretty much all I got to keep....she got the house and the kids and I continue to pay for support. NOT THAT good a deal.....

It is indeed fortunate that the "escorts" are cheap in your area.

Uh, Ron.... dude... how would you KNOW that?

I confess I have owned tail draggers for a loooong time ........ but my first two 'porsches' were 914s !! I had a 1971 1.7 then a 1974 creamsicle .................. then on to a convertible 911SC with steel slant kit, then a 1984 Carrera, then a 1985 930 euro model ............... then my last tail dragger that I sold about 5 years ago was this 1997 993TT with upgraded GT2 turbos, 996TT wheels and a little more than stock boost ............ as of 5 years ago I am done with tail draggers! ................ my current 'porsche' is a 1973 1.7 that I will be turning into a GT replica as time allows ......... as well as another mid-engined convertible of 'italian' origins, that takes most of my time ........

here is a pic my last tail dragger

Back in the Pliestocene era when he was younger and thinner....he sold his Booty on State Street....

Does it have to run? If not, then guilty as charged . . . but I'm putting in a mid-mounted M96 3.4L, so it won't count for too long . . ..

Mid engined 993 body 911 sounds interesting ........... will the engine be modded?

It's actually a 1968 shell with 993 quarters- keeping most of the longhood look. It'll be built for the possible addition of a turbo, but not much else. I'm only looking for ~350 horses.

Not like the back seats in a tail dragger were worth a damn anyways....you gonna make a rear trunk to really screw with people?

Well I posted it in my blog last year.
We did buy a 80scTarga.
Just could not resist
But we also have several 914's that are running and
several rollers and parts car 914's.
914's are more fun, but the 911 is simpley different.
Everyone needs at least one.

Well, the deal fell through but has opened up another possibility. I didn't take pics of it yet but it needs work. Mostly cosmetic. I think it's a 68 or 69. Stockish 2.0 full cage, slicks. It comes with all parts needed to return it to stock as well. Right now it's pretty well stripped. But no rust and it's mechanically sound.......I think. I'm not finished bartering yet.

Guilty also. I just cant help myself.

been there, done that 3 different times

and the '84

Had a 1977 911S Targa, a 1978 SC Targa, and now as a daily driver a 996, by far the best car I had so far But I miss the 1977, the car was in great shape, no rust, always here in WA, everything stock. But most time I spend with the Bumblebee in the garage

Like I said on the phone, can't go wrong with a long that's 10k or less....

I probably have most of these on his web site
http://www.gt-racing.com/pdfs/GTR911decals.pdf

I'll have to dig deep in my pile of old 3.5" disks (been years since I even touched a 3.5" disk)

Here is my tail dragger, but it is on the auction block to fund my 914 habit!

BIG difference there, know what you're getting into.

'68 == SWB
'69 == LWB

And for completeness, I have a '71 (formerly E) Targa that's on its (slow) progression to 2,8 RSR-esque-land.

Your license plate should read: "DER2PT5"

Andy

guilty here:
Got 2.
Our DD 993 cab with 177k miles
also have a '69 that is getting some work done and soon to be for sale.

Ok, time for some crappy cell phone photos. I can't seem to remember the camera.

This is the one I didn't get....but that's ok.



And it's ok because I like this one a lot more anyway. It's not mine yet but I'm putting a deposit on it while I figure out some important stuff that came up............

Is that cage welded or bolted in?

They sure put the down-tubes in dumb places...

The points that I noticed were bolted.

Since you plan on taking it out....I may know someone who might want it....

guilty,soon to be a Subaru transplant....maybe ,any one care for a 2.7

forgive me father for i have sinned. I have been bangin this fat whale tail for 6 years. most of my PCA friends dont even know I have it

Like a fat chick or a moped...fun to ride, but you don't want your 914 friends to see ya....

Mullet required to sit in here...
