You can either buy a very nice condition Ferrari Mondial or a tired '73 911.

Some people are gluttons for punishment

It's a PORSC!

nice back in. not much room there. your car?

An oxymoron (plural oxymora or oxymorons) is a figure of speech that juxtaposes elements that appear to be contradictory. Oxymora appear in a variety of contexts, including inadvertent errors (such as "ground pilot") and literary oxymorons crafted to reveal a paradox.

you mean like "rust free porsche" ??

Admit it...you love the Mondial

They really are better looking in person!

Soon...very soon....

Going straight to Scott's (if he has room!)

Looking for a -73 myself!

did you notice the fenders and tail light

Not my house and not my trailer

But, I really am a world class trailer handler. I was backing in boats on landings at the age of 14. When I did it on a daily basis I could back a boat up hundreds of yards laser straight at damn near full speed...seriously.

MFI goodness.....

A Mondial is an everyday driver 308 / 328. I would think a 308 / 328 would be a very fun car to sit and look at.

that really looks like a nice '73. any rust?
that will make a nice donor for the "75 914 zabezie green car

Per the "broker" of this deal the car is super solid. It will be restored.

I already have a '73 T engine (carb'ed) for my '74 Zambezi!

Nice score. Love me some sepia!

Can u adjust the valves in the driveway on the Ferrari as easily as a 911?

No...adjusting all 32 would be a chore. Fortunately, once set they seldom require any changes!

It's a '72 Bill....didn't know you were the "Bill" Scotty was referring to.

Gotta love my skinny/steep driveway !

Thought it was a '73...no problem either way!

It's my driveway, 10' from brick wall to chainlink fence. And the rise is about 15' in a 60' length. A VERY experienced driver backed it up there, I actually don't know how he got it up that far with such little damage.

Ask the 914 guys (ScottyB and type47) have been to my house how crazy it is.

Damn...I would love to find a '72. I had one that was so rusty there was more air than metal and sold it for 3x what I paid for it!!

Bill...you have a sickness. Not only because you own a Mondial but because....well...just because....you know....

OHV with shims. Once set good for a long time.
Belt change easy from passenger side rear wheel.

I remember a long time ago, a mechanic at Stuttgart Southwest in Stockton, Ca. said that the Mondial's didn't corner for crap, versus the 911. There was one at his shop at the time and I was in my early twenties drooling over it. Back in the early 80's.

Well...I am thinning the herd over the next few months. I have way too many. I would like to get down to 5 or 6 quality cars and maintain there.

The Mondial is more of a GT than a sports car. It makes all the right noises and can be set up for handling...but, why?

Well, if any of you guys are looking for a serious project, I have a 72....
It needs to go to a welder to start with.
It's a carcass with no removable panels, needs a front piece welded in...which I actually have....but...it a titled real 72, one year only oil filler door and all.

I just know that I will never do it, but I won't be giving it away...not stupid here.

I'd Rock the Patina just to piss the Wine & Cheese Guys off!

Bill doesn't know it yet, but I've decided he will be going with a satin orange vinyl wrap. Narrow bodied, GT3 tail. Maybe a black dragon where the Carrera script would be. This cars gonna be a real game changer.

We always thought to just polish the 'T'urd and drive as-is, but it has one paint less spot on the roof. I'm sure Scotty could fix it enough to do that

Satin Orange?.....hmmmm

Will my 26" wheels fit?
