once a factory assembled car is dismantled and color changed down to its "bones" it is forever changed and loses all of its originality. Would have been different if this particular car had been taken apart before and color changed by some butcher of the marque
bolt on bolt off keep the original parts not bad at all, all of my 356s have 912 engines with counter balanced cranks, but are of the original color combinations and all numbers matching, (if you go and look at the engine in the storage shelf!!!!)
I want to have fun with my cars but not...
the Monkey car with 4000 some miles and original paint, was a fairly easy rebuild to bring it back to stock configuration, and save another one of the marque. The point we "purists" are making here is with the very limited production of the GT and the fact that is a piece of Ford history never...
Mine is in the garage, Sunday is my only day to sleep in, so must be motivated! Maybe if six of us all said we would go this sunday!!!
Planning on the Lemans trip though!
Hi Eric, I did not register, but they are usually prompt in a reply and sending a parking pass. If not, they will love to see you anyway. I think a lot of guys are getting "tired" of getting up so early and seeing the same old thing, so attendance has wained. My first jaunt there was...
Are we thinking about getting a contingent for Lemans in 2016?
"Ford announced today it is returning to one of the most prestigious automobile races in the world with its new Ford GT race car, based on the all-new ultra-high-performance supercar that goes on sale next year.
The Ford GT race car...
"the car has definitely peaked my interest. I think the nearest Tesla service station is 2.5 hrs from me though.
I would like to use one maybe as a daily driver, but will be problematic if they can't drop off a loaner same/next day if it needs repair... Makes me wonder, how do they handle...
I know that this is not probably the appropriate place to post this, but seems like the owners section is not getting near as many views, but I just got this in my e mail. Know that several of us had attended this in the past, but maybe this time we can do it in mass. Anyone interested?
We...
an RS carrera clone is the best thing one can do to a 964. Fairly easy with a fabulous retro look of the most sought after 69-73 911s, something that can be driven every day with all of the power handling and modern conveniences, and no 100 thousand dollar plus investment in a museum piece (100...
I would say that the repair would not be too difficult, but the parts prices would KILL the repair estimate, even if someone could find all of the parts this one needed. Probably 25,000 in labor and 100 grand in parts
I was there, try to mix it up each time so brought my 66 corvette, had my GT there for the inaugural show. We should plan to all get together for the first show next year. (like the Lambos do!) and really give everyone a show!
I was there with My GT for the inaugural event, and just yesterday with my red 356 roadster (like to mix it up) John (my old high school chum) is doing a great great job with the event, and by assigning nice wide parking spaces, he keeps the riff raff out (rice burners etc) and it will be event...
I have always loved 356s. Have a 60 cab, 60 roadster, 61 roadster, 62 super 90 cab, and a red 65 sc coupe. (yes I know I am hogging them!!!), but loved the FGT best when I first saw it win lemans. I was 14
