This summer - PCA Raffle - Factory Restored 1973

I got a PCA email update that gives more information and progress on this project.

Here's the Link to the update : Raffle Car Project announcement/update

Here's the Link to the Revive the Passion project

I was concerned when I got the Raffle info for the 2011 Carrera GTS - which is the current car - the 1973 is the Summer 2011 raffle car. Enjoy the update.

Join PCA and buy some $50 tickets. I want myself or a Pelicanite to win.

Here is the transmission picture from the article:


First actions in Germany - evaluate the tub:


They are taking some great pictures:


Gearbox story Link





The kink in the front end, only visible to experts and a sure sign of a crash, resulted in the following measurements on the straightening bench: ten millimetres too high at the front left, double wishbone deformed by nine millimetres at the rear and twelve millimetres at the front. To achieve the highest possible accuracy when returning the body to its original shape, the mechanic didn't rely on the straightening bench alone. A rigid original frame gauge, which allows for no movement of the body, was used for the windscreen. Then, a chain was used to hydraulically place the body under tension. The rest requires the delicate craftsmanship of an experienced mechanic. Some of the mechanics in the Classic Workshop worked on the 911 production line in the 1970's and know the vehicle type inside and out.

If the stuff above doesn't get you to check this out - do you really belong on PP??
