Cup Car Inquiry
I am tempted by this cup car listed on E-bay:
What does the collective think about something like this. Pros? Cons? Any additional facts/history to shed more light on what is being offered here? Regards Last edited by seventythree; 05-20-2003 at 07:06 AM.. |

Well, the 3.6 swap is non-trivial, and that G-50 transmission is not at all fun to convert for mid-engine use. Plus the suspension is the coil-spring version that won't bolt up to the 914.
So I'd say that, as a parts donor, it ain't that great. ![]() I suppose you might consider racing it as-is, but then you'd be driving a tail-dragger.... ![]() --DD (You might try the 911 board; they may have more to say on the subject.)

I think it's pretty sweet, I wouldn't pull the engie to use for a '14... leave it as a sweet 911.

I must have missed something edited out. Who would dismantle that car for parts? Not me.
Jeez, that was post #1800. I've got to get a better life. |

That was just me being a smart-ass, Milt. He asks about buying a 911 on the 914 board, so I chimed in from the "914 only" view...
