"Whad do ya figur this here thing is fer?" ,asked Cletus.

"Hell, I dunno.... it looks like it came frem one of them Porshe cars..." ...said Bubba with a dry grin...

"SHOOOOOO Dawgie! I bet my britches you could sell that thar thing on the Intrenet fer a bundle!"

Uh, I don't think they talk like that in Wilkes-Barr, PA, Leland

I'll agree that the item is most definitely a weird-looking device. Is it a Carrera tail without the rubber trim?

The tail looks like one I had years ago on my 914. I just might bid on it for old time sakes.

Obviously, Cletus is confused. That is the skid plate from his Jeep.

gaaaaadddddd.... thes is exactly Y I love this bulliton board so much. I lern so much abot tastefull mods for my P-car.

That has to rank right up there with the early targa pimp mobile of posts from the past. The more I see this kind of stuff on Ebay, the more I think it belongs on the comedy channel. -Doug

Check out the tire this tail is resting on. I'm guessing it's a trick part for lawnmower racing.

I think that's a tail from the rare 491 option on the Porsche tractor.

Whats funny about the rubber tail? I was under the impression that those were actually offered on some models.

Let me clear up the misunderstanding. The one I am selling belongs on a 911, the other one is for a 914. There is nothing funny about the rubber tail, just a misunderstanding.
