ooo la la...those narrow bodies

[darkbeer]

How many other Pelicanutions out there also think that the LWB, narrow bodied 911 (& 912), 1969 thru 1977, is one of the best looking Porsches ever built.

I don't mean to 'dis' the Carrera/Super Carrera/RS(& clones by the score)....I just like my Porsches (& women) to have narrow bodies. Turbos never look quite comfortable in their 900 series bodies....they sort of remind me of our Calif. Governor on the steroids he never used.......

Narrow bodies rule, let's rock!

Very true - as was said decades ago, the wide bodies make the cars look like "Bavarian washer-women."


And ... the correct term isn't "narrow" -- it's "svelte."

[azasadny]

I love the lines on these cars!!

There is nothing sweeter than a narrow bodied 911 with 7Rs wrapped in 225s. Sexy sleeper defined.

Thats friggin hilarious.

I like my car skinny, but preferably with sway bars

[c911s]

first P car was a 75 911S targa - 25 yrs ago
now after having 2 - 356's, I have a 73 911 targa (rust bucket)
prefer the lines of the long noses - MFI power - 69E 2.0 engine, plenty fast enough for me, although a 2.4 would be nice....
current car is lowered, absolutely zero roll in the corners, good fun

LOL! Have you ever thought of compiling a book of these quotes? You seem to have some good ones.

Back on topic: narrow bodies are very sweet. I used to have one, and truly like the look of my car now. But there is something nice about an understated non-flared 911 - especially when it whips a turbo-bodied 911's hiney.

heres a gaggle of skinny girls!

A narrow body car next to a widebody is like this



next to this

[Silveresrty911S]

That's more like a "stripped, lightened narrow" compared to 959

[Zeke]

It's a narrow body.

350 - The bottom woman is svelte - the wide-body is not shown in that photo. ... and I assure you there is no need to post one...

"LOL! Have you ever thought of compiling a book of these quotes?"
- Thanks, dd. No book but I have a collection and periodically rotate my sig. to give them each an airing. The current one is:

I wish my body was as attractive as my car's body...

[FrayAdjacent911]

Now, I don't mind a woman that has curves, nice hips and a nice bottom...

But I do like my 911 on the skinny side.

Here is the 71 before some needed suspension modifications
