964 tail on early 911
Had a great time at Willow Springs today for a Porsche Owners Club Short-Track-Series event. I took some pictures of the new decklid. Click on an image for a larger version.

Lookin' GREAT, Jack! Did Black Beauty find a new friend dressed in white? Seems like you caught them kissing? Maybe a name change to The Black Knight is in order?

Wow. That's weird, but very cool, Jack!
Do you have it hooked up to the speedo, or are you manually deploying it? ------------------ Mark Szabo 1986 911 Targa 3.2 1987 Escort 5-speed 1.9 The Porsche Owners Gallery [This message has been edited by old_skul (edited 01-29-2001).] |

Hey Jack, I had the same tail on my SC. I loved it. I had it wired up to a power window switch inside the car. Got a lot of comments on it

Jack, well done in finding a compromise between retaining the original shape and the practicalities of a rear spoiler. From the photo’s the result is great. Are you happy with the rear deck panel fit?

Black Beauty did get to mingle with a lot of other early 911s. The white one belongs to Pelican regular MMARSH, who has an awesome track-prepared 73 with a 3.0 that I got to ride along in. Very nimble and very quick. Here's a better picture of it:
 The lid is hooked up to a switch near the hand brake. It does not function automatically, although I suppose it would be technically possible to tie that into the 3.6's brain -- just too much of a challenge for this guy. I'll just have to remember to deploy it when I'm exceeding 100 mph. The decklid fit perfectly. I'm only irritated by the paint match, which is not dead on. Black Beauty is actually a deep charcoal color, not an outright black. But my painter got the decklid a shade darker. We'll have to see what can be done to fix it, down the line. Here's a picture of the car at the end of the day. Running the same layout as my first trip to Streets of Willow, my best lap times were fully 11 seconds faster than my best times there with the 2.2 liter engine.  There were about nine pre-74 cars at this event. Here's a great looking green 72 that was parked near mine:  ------------------ Jack Olsen 1973 911 T (3.6) sunroof coupe jackolsen@mediaone.net |

How do you badge a hybrid of a 1973 car and a 1993 powerplant? Following a suggestion Warren made a long while ago, it's simply "RS."
