Now that's funny.... I walk into Pep boys sometimes and ask them about specific early 911 parts and watch the big question mark take shape over the employees heads..

The radiator, hoses, and coolant all passed. It must be a keeper!

"Although there are no service records available, it is believed that this Porsche has been well taken care of."
What do you expect them to say?

Im glad to see itt passed the radiator inspection
. I guess a Pep-Boys inspection is better than no inspection at all. At least the seller is probably open minded to having the car checked out. It looks like a nice car. Everything looks great in the pics and the seller rates the car as a 8.5 on a 1:10 scale. At least he/she's not coming out and saying its perfect 10. Last edited by Shuie; 08-16-2004 at 07:28 AM.. |

I guess I'd better check out that radiator flush and re-fill with the orange stuff that Pep Boys did for me last winter on my '83. I bet they chintzed and used the green stuff!!

"radiator, hoses, and coolant"
I hope you all realize that the 911 does in fact _have_ all these items. The only difference is the working fluid. Technically, the PepBoyz assessment is correct. And, BTW, radiation is not important for "radiators." |

that section doesn't have a "does not have" column. So the only other option was for the inspector to fail the car. I have marked "pass" if I was the inspector.
Not that a pep boys inspection gives me great confidence in a 911 seller...

**While at PEP BOYS on August 4, 2004, vehicle was given a complete synthetic oil change with Mobil 10W30.**
i guess that's better than a partial oil change
