Aw man, this is how I find out plans have changed? Not even a PM
Cold. Anyway, Rick is infinitely more talented than I at working on a project like this and we could not have a better choice or chance of it getting done to the highest level of quality. I am glad you can take this on Rick
For those asking how I fit in, I had offered, and initially been accepted as the caretaker and at least partial finisher of this project due to my large shop at my new place. The new place will not be in my possession until Sept 26 if all the mortgage stuff and sellers dont fall through. Plans change, as stated in first post, and actually this works out better for the car/world
You mean this PM?
Dude, that aint in my que. For real. 
Oh, that's right your NOT the guy with a period. It's so hard to tell and you know you can't just ask. 
Well, then SURPRISE!
Can't say I didn't try.

It may be coming north but it's the worlds car. There have been a lot of guys that either donated cars, attended work parties offered up parts or just plain offered support and encouragement for the guys that were close enough to do the work.
Sorry for the delay in replying to those that pm'd me today. I was out of the office and can't connect to the fun stuff with company assets on company time. I'll check again in the morning incase and at lunch tomorrow. I'm caught up now with the pm's so if you didn't get a reply or you want in ping me again!

Another drop in the bucket added.

Thanks everyone!!!! We made the goal! Rob will post a total later but I got a pm from him saying we are just shy of 1500.00 with a couple of checks coming yet.
Mark and I will work on the shipping details and let everyone know when and how it will ship.

Thanks to all for making this happen. We are at goal with a couple of checks still coming. The limo is quite a piece of 914 folk lore which I fully expect to see rolling around the country someday.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

I was talking to Rich Towle about the perfect engine if we can pull it off. All I can say is it will be air cooled and all Porsche!
Actually Rickster, you brought the 918-S to the World with a Porsche water-cooled powerplant... and the 928 engines are not that expensive to source...especially the earlier L-Jet versions.
Considered tailbadging this one as a 918-SL? (for Sport Limousine)

They could be twins...
Same color and trim
Both have 2x the engine of a stock 914
One would also be 2x as long as a stock 914
918-SL? (for 918-S Lengthened)

More like 1.33 times the length of a stock 914 ...
With proper cooling, it fits.

That was the first thing I thought of when Rick had his hand up to take it over. You wouldn't have the "tall guy" issue with the 928 motor at all. Plenty of leg room back there!

I'll donate to the cause as long as we don't hear any more sordid details about your camping shenanigans with Zach.
Send me a PM with the Paypal info Rick.
Don't have to put in any specific numbers, but maybe a post with the names of the contributors at some point. Keeps the camaraderie going. I love this place!

Bummed the SF Bay crew couldn't finish it, but it was fun getting it started. I'm looking forward to daily updates on the limo from it's new home
In case someone stops in and does not know what the heck this thread is about.....
Any updates on getting the limo moved to Rick?
I'm kind of hoping to snap a picture of it when it comes through the Twin Cities!

Still in process.... 
Sent some mobley to keep the Limo alive and moving!
Thanks for doing this Rob!
Heard from the shipper today. They are picking up the car on 9/19 and plan to drop it on 9/26.
I gave them a deposit today. It's on like donkey kong!

I want to thank all of the 914 world members again who donated to the Limo cause. All of you put together helped Rick take on the project for now, and helped all of us become a part of a car that is bigger than each of our own pursuits... literally.
Thanks again, this is a truly great group...... because of the people.

It going to be hard to fit all of us in there for the inaugural ride but I'm sure it'll work out.
Looks like they're coming a day early. I'll have pics as it gets loaded.
