911S 915 shift knob...

[gint]

Just picked this up last weekend. That Hurst T-handle looks ridiculous in this car. Although in function it's kinda cool. It needs to go. I'd be happy with a stock unit and was wondering if anyone makes repros.

What's a post without a pic

Have you tried any of the Porsche junk yards... Call Jeff at Parts Haven - (800) 767-7250.

Not yet. Heading over to Carquip next week.

Are you going to have a White Christmas?

It's actually pretty rare for us to have a white Christmas. It is supposed to snow here tonight/tomorrow though. It was almost 70 on Wednesday when I shot that pic.

Aw crap, another 914 refugee......BTW, it needs stickers on the sides....

[gint]

Is that you nut-job? Still have the cab eh?

I'm not a sticker fan. I did leave the NorCal surf shop sticker in the back window.

Hey, Gint! What corrupted you to get a tail-dragger? Maybe Ferg's bad influence - haha! Car looks nice - Peru Red? Still have the 914s? -John

[gint]

Hey John. I've wanted a 911 ever since I knew what a 911 was. It's on my bucket list. And this one was a bargain. Now I can check that one off.

Still have the zambezi 4 and the six. What have you got in the shop these days? That silver 914 still around?

[LuftWaffle]

Congrats on the 911 - I'm betting you will like it.

I still have the silver '71 /6 but sold the '70 /4 this spring. Have a couple 911/930s around to balance things out... We'll have to get together one of these days and catch up. Did you ever get your /6 finished?

[rothaus]

You could make your own from walnut and maple

I have a walnut and maple know that Zach made. I'm saving it for the 914/6 I think.

Not yet. When I had the money and time, I didn't have the room. When I got the room, I didn't have the time. Now I have the room and the time, but spent all my car fund cash on a 911. The suspension will be done and on soon though.

Called Pelican yesterday. The price is real. $21.50, 9 IIRC in stock. Minus one. I placed an order. I'll post when it arrives.

Last car I had a hurst T handle was my old 72 capri, man I loved that car!

[gint]

I'm starting to really like it. But it still looks ridiculous in this car.
