spittoon?

i bought an 81 or 82 black w/ tan cloth vinyl in 88 that had been used for hauling giant show dogs from texas to alaska and back thru vegas several times. he bought it new for $14k when he owned a bunch of wendy’s in the 3 states. it had that awd quadratrac(?) that would send power to 4-3-2 or even 1 corner, whichever…

~~smh~~

millions of us do. cya in november. 

That’s why i’m stuffing an ls1 into my ‘83 944. I always had vettes until i bought this thing. Love the car, hate the damned overweight, underpowered p.o.s. porschelump motor. I’ll be happy soon.

Yeah, that’s why i waited for the quad cab 4.7 / 45rfe package. 220k on mine, and no engine or tranny issues except the occasional sensor. Heavy oilfield usage in HOT West Texas. Max towing of around 5,000# in moderate usage over time, though mine’s rated for 6,300, iirc. Truck’s a beast and a real pleasure to drive.…

I’m not that interested in slot cars either - with or without the slots. Had those when i was a kid. I grew up.

Impressive build. I love hybrids! Going the opposite direction and putting an ls-1 into my ‘83 944 right now, but that’s waayyy easy compared to these dudes’ build. Have done the full cage into a c3 thing a couple of times, and it’a sucky-hella-hard thing to do (correctly).

The porsche rear seat thing was/is done for insurance purposes. I switched from vettes to porsches 30 years ago after 10 years in cheap insurance c3 vettes. I bought my first one in high school (lo-po 4 spd, no radio stripper). After my 3rd one, insurance had quadrupled, so i moved into the (then) new 944, gollowed by…

Yes, but will it come with all of ‘those’ wheel covers?

Mixed on this one. We have 3 water pumpers: a platen (champagne) 83 944 and an 84 & an 85 euro ‘s.’ one all white, the other all black. They’re all original and all keepers, but their value is pretty much static at this point. The early 928s are bark-with-no-bite dogs, performance-wise, but fairly novel in their…

#1 POTD!

I feel your pain, believe me. So i’ll see yours and raise you one. I still have 2 928s, both euro ‘s’ models, along with my (fairly) trusty 944. All deserve an LS1 transplant. I think the 944 will finally be getting one soon.

Part it out over the winter, for a lot more (back) than you have in it. Fudge on the shipping a few bux per part for your labor and supplies. Then, before it warms up, buy a datsun roadster project. Same disease applies here, but you will absolutely have a better, and certainly better value roadster when finished. Or…

I’ve owned and raced porsches since getting out of corvettes when i was 28, exactly 30 years ago. I’m part of the porsche community, and i love a well sorted 911 about as much as is possible to love an inanimate object, albeit one with a soul. However, it’s well documented (and well known by porsche purists) that the…

There’s a 2017 corvette in iowa(?) that was up for auction here yesterday. Burgandy color, $7500 price. Had a 1" scratch on the undercarriage = totaled by insurance co. = Salvage title. SCCA and regular auto-x shouldn’t require clean titles.

I did as well - no, really. Hardboiled egg. Yecchhh!!!

I remember riding in a new one once, back in the day. The Fiero 4-banger was red, as was the driver. It’s a tossup as to which was worse. Really.

Me likey. Go fast. : •)=

It looks like the good folks who brouht us the Fyre festival are at it again.
