If the motor in the spyder is decent, I'd go for it.

I've always wondered what they would look like with a top. I don't buy cars that don't have a top. Of course in this case I don't have $26,000+ or a 911 to trade so it makes little difference.

Hell yes, go for it and Mike I got your message tonight. Sorry it's been awhile, but I will get it. No need to bring the trailer down. Been real busy and now they assigned me to the damn Pacific Life Open tennis tourney in Indian Wells. When that's finished I will yank it. If you cant get me at home, get me on the cell 275-1250 same area code.

Here's what a 550 looks like with a top. Not too bad, I don't think.

Oh ya, and if the 550 checks out okay, get it! I'd love one.

I wonder how many dopes in registration he had to go through to find one willing to register a brand new kit car as a real Porsche built in the 50's. Probably using the word "vintage" in a manner that bordered on fraud.
Nice but NARP. Does it have a RAT motor?

Some have a RAT, but not this one.....

Yeah...and it's a typeI....hard to believe that much HP....oh well, T4 or a six would be an easy install.....
Jake Raby
Mar 10 2004, 11:35 AM
200HP from a Type I is easy as pie! You can buy all the parts off the shelf.
But they don't last.
A TIV is an easy install. I sold 15 last year for 550 applications. Only challenge is the header, but Tangerine is taking care of that as we speak.
These cars are amazing...0-60 in 4 seconds.

Oh Yeah! Do It!
Safe as any motorcycle out there. Drive it like you're invisible.
Jake Raby
Mar 10 2004, 02:47 PM
Its fast, of course its not safe..
I'm trading for one soon that I will be installing a 2300cc Type I with EFI and a T04 Hybrid Turbo into...
Thats good for around 325BHP.

I'm 2 hours from Louisville, but I'm not available until Saturday. I'd be glad to do it then if you like.

are slow cars more safe than fast ones??
Aaron Cox
Mar 10 2004, 03:15 PM
no but airbags and ABS are safer than old car systems
Jake Raby
Mar 10 2004, 03:20 PM
Hell, anything thats fun is not safe...
If you want airbags buy something new..... I refuse to own a car post 1976!

If I had one, I'd park it under the 914.
Of course the 914 and th 550 would fit under the neighbors SUV so they both would stay dry....
Seriously, a guy at work has a REAL one. Doesn't have the correct engine though. Drove it to work once or twice
Couldn't imagine taking it out to play chicken with the SUV's.

Damn, a real one without a 4 cammer is pretty useless.... I know where a few spare engines are if he wants to make the car worth a mint.. They start at 45K and need rebuilding.
I have been playing with a few here and there and have one to rebuild over next winter...
