Latest project complete - can you guess WHAT KIND OF PORSCHE IS THIS?

[RarlyL8]

Just finished bead blasting, painting, and polishing a very "used" set of 15x8 Fuchs. Put them on my latest ride. Can you guess what it is?



Here's the front:

An AMC Pacer with a GM Performance Parts 502 Crate Moter?

I'd like to see the whole car. Those tires look a little small in that wheel well.

[RarlyL8]

AMC Pacer! Man that is funny!

The entire car would give it away. You guys are pretty sharp - figured I'd best not give too much away.

Here's the rear:

[32Flat6]

Looks to me like the rear wheel well of an S-10 pick up. Please tell me I'm wrong...

[Halm]

Tahoe or Suburban?

[rickeolis]

Blazer !

[pwd72s]

Audi...TT?????????

[CamB]

I dunno what it is, but those looks like drum brakes at the back to me.

But I'm usually wrong

[RarlyL8]

You guys are sharp as usual. No one guessed any kind of Porsche.

Here's another hint -
The front looks a little funny due to the camera angle. The wheel is a bit cocked making the well look larger than it is.
Tire size is 255/60-15

Cam, you're not wrong this time! Thanks for the tip. But suddenly, I don't care what the car is...I mean, the last drum brakes on a "guess what kind of Porsche?" 1964....If I were allowed another guess? Some kind of cheap Asian sports ute...

S-10 or GMC Jimmy

[RarlyL8]

Front bumper - How you like the plate?

[makaio]

You guys are all wrong! It's An AMC Gremlin. Has to be.

[RarlyL8]

The dogman gets to share the boobie prize with 32Flat6.

GMC Gimmy or S10 is close enough. It's a '02 Sonoma.
The ol' V8/S10 retired and a new parts hauler had to be found. Anyone who knows anything about Porsches will recognize a Fuch wheel. What better way to meet fellow Porsche nuts?


Sorry for the off-center pictures, the disc cut 1/3 off each print.

[k9handler]

Rick was on it as well...the blazer is pretty much the same, and I bet you will get some good conversation with them.

I knew a guy in High school that had a purple Gremlin with a built 350 Olds in it.

Very fast little car, and ugly as dirt.

So, is the bolt pattern and inset just right, would a wheel off this truck fit in an early 911?

RarlyL8:

I like the handiwork on the center caps - am I right that they're mine?

enjoy!

[911pcars]

Rickeolis,
You may be on to something. If the bolt pattern matches, the heretofore unique Porsche bolt-patterned wheels can now be replaced with the latest from Crager's or American Racing's wheel catalogs.

So RarlyL8, how did you get the Fuchs to fit the Chevy?
