Another Early Car at Cal Classix!
 

Are these guys reading the Pelican BBS, or what? In any event, they've simply outdone themselves with this latest eBay ad!

<b><font size=1>Mark Donohue's Delight!

The late Mark Donohue, legendary race driver, author of "The Unfair Advantage," and Can-Am champion on Porsche 917-30, tested all three Porsche 911 models--the T, E, and S--for the March 1969 issue of Car& Driver magazine.
His favorite: the 911T. He found it to be the most fun to drive flat-out, its gearing best suited to the engine characteristics. </b></font>

Well, they got it half right. Donohue's favorite was actually a <font size=5><i>T Targa!</i></font> :D

I like the vintage, that color just doesnt do anything for me.:cool:

Did you notice this statement:

<b>".... the car looks simply stunning now, in its original, characteristic '70s livery! Even Austin Powers and the local <i>pelicans</i> begrudgingly nod their approval. "</b>

Pelicans????? -- Curt

Cute car - but the color; yuk. It looks like it just slipped out the rear end of a dog.

Yep...seez right here 911T Targa

Must..buy..car..from..Cal..Classix..Must..buy..car ..from.... Wow, that was close, I must have been hypnotized for a minute! Luckily my dial-up connection cut out before my bid went through. They certainly know how to wax poetic.

Gee. Do you think maybe "they" are monitoring "we" Pelicans? :) BTW...all the krap on the oil flap and cap? Sure never was existant on my '72. But these guys? They know how to sell used cars. WHERE IS THETATTOOED LADY????? I miss her...

Curt,

Looks like Cal Classix is onto us! :D

Does this work for you Paul:

Wow, that car should have a bra ..... -- Curt

Low RPM "dragging the chain noise"?? :confused:

And hey, it still has the "unreliable MFI". :D

Does look like a nice car, however, and it does seem that he has been lurking a bit here. Hehe. :cool:

How do I get a "dragging the chain noise"?
 

How do I get my 73.5 T to make the awesome "dragging the chain noise" I've heard about for so long. I mean, this was the whole reason I bought my car and I feel it's not meeting that expectation!;)

Nostatic? Nope. Doesn't do it. Can't see a tatoo. But the thought of a real Daytona? OH, GAWD!

Nostatic, As my old man used to say, "she could stop a train, but she won't stop traffic!" :D

As for the whole gas-in-the-oil-hole thing, what I never understood is that the owner would have to pull up to pump on wrong side and open oil-flap from inside of car! Even in the full-service days! Just doesn't seem possible, unless it was first day of ownership and new owner was too exited to listen to salesman on delivery walk-around. Or loaned the car out, or something. :confused:

Paul, I think that car would only be the *thought* of a real Daytona! (Domestic-looking rims and Corvette windshield). :D

Denis? I knew it was a "miami vice" era kit car. That's why I said that the idea of a real one turned me on...GIMME TATTOO! :D

Guys? Thanks for the eye candy...
