Just thought I would post a couple pics of the other car in the family stable. This was my dad's first race car before he moved into 914s. It has been sitting idle for a couple years, but my plan for this year is to get it back up to speed and run it in a race or two. I have had one opportunity to race the car (when the engine in my 914-6 finally gave in), but that was cut short because it was smoking like crazy. I'm thinking it might need seals and hope nothing else.
Slight 914 content in the first picture...if you can find it

my photo software that came with the computer expired and won't let me rotate the pick. Just turn your monitor on its side

The side shot just shows the car will look good on a high banked oval.

The camera went dead right after I started snapping pictures. I will post a few more in the near future.

Nice. I like the matching headlight covers. We always make ours to contrast.
How long are the velocity stacks that you guys run down there?

If that picture on the wall is supposed to be a 914, how come there's no jackstands? The Cap'n

WoW, beautiful car, it must be an interesting contrast to a 914, drivingwise.
thanks for posting the photos,

VERY cool. I'd love too have the opportunity to drive a 356 like that in anger some day.

The rear badge says Carrera...is it???
Does it has a Furhman engine in it?
That´s a very nice car.

unfortunately it is not a real carrera. The guy who dug it out of a barn and restored it for my family put it on there...I've recently thougt it seems like a poser thing to do, but I do not want to remove the emblem and have two holes in the sheet metal
