I like the look/color combo. What brand wheels are those? Are they 14's?

Dan, They're all nice. The square lights (74-76 impact bumper cars) have their pros and cons as do the roundies (66-73). The (common) one to have is a 72/73 Tii. The holy grail is, of course, the Turbo. The Alpina cars are very desirable. Then there's also the Ti's, but they're harder to find. I've had a bunch of both squares and rounds as well as Tiis. I like them all for what they offer. The tan car (nevada) is a Tii clone and makes about 135 hp. The others make about 115 hp. Get them out on a twisty road and they will give a like year 911 a run for their money - up to a point. The navada 2002 is two toned. The po started a repaint and I never got around to completing it. The wheels are Revolution wheels made in the U.K.. Nice stuff. Very classic and some 911 drivers use them. Here's a shot from a couple of summers ago.
