Someone Available to Look at Car in Denver?

I have been looking over a few G50 Cabs or Targas and have narrowed to two. The one on top my list is in a burb of Denver. I'm in Tucson. I've just asked the owner if he would mind if someone has a look, and if the result is good, I'll go up there myself. Anyone in the area avail to have a quick look?

Thanks

Thanks guys

Just talked to the owner. He's in Lakewood. Is that convenient for either of you?
Looking at Mapquest, it doesn't look like Lyons is at all close.

thx

I'll be in Lakewood Saturday morning getting a dyno test, depending on the owners schedule I could do it.

I'm at the dyno @ 9, and I don't imagine that I'll be there more than an hour. So that should work, I'll charge the camera up.

Wow

Of course, multiple opinions are even better, especially when they are seen as 'authoritative' like you guys. . .

Maybe both of you have a look together if possible. I feel that's asking a lot though.

If you are available too Grady, my confidence level is certainly enhanced.

Shop for PPI is of course VERY welcome and next in the course of this.

Scott. Just PM'd the guy's coordinates. Grady, you must be the Shell Answer Man because your 'PM usage exceeds allotment' or some such refusal to send to you.

If you end up needing a PPI take the car to Storz's garage, talk to Bob- he's very thorough and honest.

Scott,

Where is the 911?

Perhaps both Scott and I can look.

Best,
Grady

I would be good to meet you again, we met briefly at Dart one afternoon a few years ago.

Yeah, Lakewood's a little out of the way, though Applejack is the sole local supplier of Iron City, which is always worth the trip. Where do you do dynos down there?

First time I have used them, but my trusted p-car mechanic likes them, and they were very nice on the phone. 3 pulls for $86 then $65 for three after that, and every time you come back. They specialize in Evolutions, but appear to love Porsche as well.

Thanks

I'll let the owner know. Is something like 11am ok for you two [Scott, Grady]? The car looks on paper like a gem. I'm hoping . . .

Scott, looks like you've done some interesting work there - dyno run ought to be interesting!

I just watched my 86 be driven away out my driveway by its new owner

Made me a bit sad. The guy didn't care about the emerging split on the driver's seat, didn't even want me to remove the sheep skins. Said those stock seats wouldn't be there very long [not applicable to his plans]. Made me feel I found a good buyer.

Scott,

Karin and I are going to the farmer’s market (Cherry Creek) early and I should be back home about 8:30. I live somewhat near I-25 and Yale. You can pick me up or we can meet. Please email me (via my profile).

Do we know where the car is?

Best,
Grady
