The oil cooler in the green car wont last long in that location (or it doesnt work well). It will get HAMMERED with rocks/crap and it wont work well if they installed a shield 1 inch from it.

Dino... our club member "Bowlsby" has a something like 300 LE vins. He knows when they started and when they stopped production. Do a search on his name.

Is that the 3.0 six with white interior that was Al's dad's?

Yes, this is John Swanson's car with the light gray interior. It's got a 3.2 build up on a euro carrera 3.0. Webers, GE60 cams, B&B stainless headers w/heat, front mounted oil cooler, Mayeur kit, GT stiffening kit+, total bare metal restoration

The Boxster 17's require spacers.

This was a custom job from NM if I recall correctly. Engine was Turbo'd 4-cyl. Of course we know you can't do that!

And my favorite: Beach Boys Racing:

PS: I have several other nice ones, but they're not posted on the web. I hate that we can't just upload them & post - or am I missing something?

Enjoy!

With that Beach Boys Monterey you'd have plenty of places up front for an oil cooler, a a/c condensor, and a cooler for your beer!

914 Ferrari

That looks like a Fiero based kit (unless they severely raked the windshield, removed the wing windows, and didn't use the stock hood).

Another Ferrari body kit. I know the owner of this car and the body shop. Side story is that he converted MR2 engines into a wide bodied Renault LeCars.

interesting dash

Notice why many of these rebodied kits don't work? The windshield isn't raked or curved to match the rest of the body lines!

Yup, I totally agree. Ive seen so many Lambourghini wanna-bes on Fiero chassis' and its rediculous. Some needs to tell those guys it doesnt look that good!

I think the best, and in my opinion only, rebody thats worth a damn is the Ferrari 250 GT on a Datsun 240Z chassis. It looks really good, I think. The only problem, is you can't immitate the ferrari sound with a Nissan inline six or even the chevy sbc conversion some guys do. Other then that its pretty close (probably because Nissan was 'inspired' by Ferrari on the design of the original Z).

Here's another AIR? kit with a big wing that I saw at a Pomona Swap Meet in the early 80's. Not all show as it had a turbo V8. I have the article as well...

That car is the one that Rod Simpson used in his literature. The car was featured in Hot Rod Magazine a few years ago. Looks really good in my opinion.
