If I were in the financial situation to restore this car, I would do it in a heartbeat.

I think that color's awesome... kinda purpleish. Got 70's written all over it!

What is it?

Ever since the 1st pink thread a while back I've been considering painting the bluecar pink.

rich says it's "raspberry". def not a saver. just a bit better than #4 after the good stuff is removed. pass side door was jammed. wrapped a piece of wire around the inside door release and gave it 3 size 12s at the latch point. 5 years ago it was prob a ok car. typical sitting outside car rust for wa. maybe it's the color against the black. too much!!!

k

Whats the VIN?

JASON = 4732905939
RICK = 4732905940

How bad are the bad spots? Post some pics of those please?

We all know that the cars on the West coast are all rust free

So what are you pulling off? Strip it to the shell and take photos before you cut in half. If this car can be fixed....

It's salmon damnit Jethro! (Do those other CO homos know you're here?)

Back OT... that's gotta be a rare one. Maybe I should paint the GT, Peter Revson 'Rasberry' (was that his IROC color? I guess they switched off...)

This thread is useless without VIN, Chassis # and paint code.

Can someone make up an icon for me, please!

Did you try :TTIWWVC#PC:??

Are you saying you want a pink speedo, or a speedo from the pink car...

does the speedo look pink in the pictures?

didnt think so....

Kev, post all the numbers. We want to see if there's any association to the other cars located.

BTW: did you know I owned a collision/ resto shop for half my working life...

it's 23*. make me go and get the numbers. do you want that one or the other one college guy? if you were nicer to me i would sell you the one out of the "garage" car.

BRRRR the things i do for you guys

I had it open in another window to find your and my VINs... No smoking gun here...

4732908605

it's such a strange color for a 914. i wonder if it some some sort of promo deal where they had a raspberry 914 and a raspberry 911 in the showroom at the dealership at the same time? "see? it's a porsche! they're painted the same color". if you special ordered one, it must have been a pretty good wait if it had to come from the factory.

I have a local car that may be a donor for the front. With all the snow here, I've been unable to go out and check.
I'd like to see someone buy the rusty shell from kev and fix it. Not like it's ever going to be worth repairing, (are any of them?) It doesn't appear that any of the Raspberry cars survived. At least none we've found yet. As large as this community is, you'd think someone would have one or know where one in usable condition.

I'm up to my arse with my Alien rebuild, but if things were different I would have started on Britts car by now. I want to restore one of the raspberry cars. That's my next project.

Kev, humor us with some pics of the car after all the stuff is out of the trunks, and off the floor pans.

I shouldn't tell you this, but mine is real solid. A little hell hole rust, a little firewall rust, rear trunk rust. Nothing thats never been fixed before. It was a CA and AZ car so it hasn't suffered too hard. My plan isn't an original resto. But a flared car more in the spirit of a GT. I guess I will have to consider the original color when I get to that stage.



I really would rather have a John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen kind of color.

I'm pretty much an individualist (I think most 914 owners are, why else would you want something so different?)

But thats not as far as I planned to go. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. For now, I am acquiring parts that will address chassis issues.

Kev, you are missing the last digit of the chassis # (165950x)

it's a balmy 16 right now. let me go check. now, that may really be balmy for you eastcoast, midwest cannucks and yanks., but we suffer out here.

ok. there is a 1 for a last # that i originally failed to note. painted bumpers and rockers are coming off today. this will develope into a running thread re the raspberry. i may accidentally show some good parts pictures

We'll be waiting with baited breath

Arent we all coming over after breakfast sat morn?

What does the color plate say? Is it really marked as a custom color?

QUOTE (alpha434 @ Feb 16 2006, 06:46 PM)

Yep looks like the 4th Raspberry (911 color) one that surfaced in the last year. None know to be unmolested. (re-paints, rust, damage, etc.)

Send one of them to the concourse.
