Contact John at 706 380-6807 or hilandscott@gmail.com . $24,000 OBO. (Track wheels w/ new Toyo RA1's sold separately).

**March 29th update** Goldcrest Motorsports completed vehicle inspection and dyno tuning of the A/F mixture this week. This 911 has been serviced and is ready for immediate track use. Take advantage of the spring DE and get into an amazing car. The C2 turbo engine and 915 transmission (as well as chassis/safety/suspension) have a clean bill of health from the guys at Goldcrest. If you are a fan of the early synchromesh gearbox-- shorter gears with faster acceleration-- this could be the car for you. It is not a car for the timid, so if the earlier body style and raw feel and performance are what you are looking for, it is worth a test drive.

P.S. This is a 'rattlsnak' 911, his former DE car as an instructor at Road Atlanta. Although Marc has built a few cars since, this car holds a special place as the fastest he has built (which includes a few 3.6L swaps into earlier SWB cars.

Compiling the recent history of this 911, with these threads to start (this photo from Road Atlanta):



Between 2002 and 2003 Marc decided to part with his 911 racer to start another 911 project, and I was looking for a turn key 911 to track so the timing was right. Since 2003 I have averaged one DE each year until 2007, so less than six events at Road Atlanta and Barber combined. The 911 has been an occasional weekend car and has seen only sunny days since 2007.

Marc posted this thread from Road Atlanta in 2002:

At the time I met Marc I was building my own hot rod 911 and just completed the engine and transmission rebuild. I was 70% to my goal of power/weight and was about to lighten with fiberglass, when it was clear I needed to sell my car and buy this 911 as complete and track ready. Marc had already been through various engine modifications when he settled on a 1992 C2 turbo as the powerplant.

In addition to dash controlled air flow and blower, there is a center mounted control from "climate control" factory option that operates additional air circulation in cabin.

A BIG thanks to Steve Cosgrove and team at Goldcrest. Customer service was fantastic. I highly receommend them even if you don't own a Cayman S or GT3

This 911 has a clean bill of health: engine, transmission, body/suspension and safety equipment. The car has been fully serviced.

While we were at it they also put the car on the dyno to fine tune the A/F mixture and verify performance from the C2. 300 ft/lb produced at the wheels, amounting to 360-370 ft/lb (depending on factor of 16-18% driveline loss to wheels). 275rwhp documented in sheet to follow.

Steve seemed to appreciate the opportunity to drive this car, with its unique combination of lighter weight, short gearing and additional power. His comment sums it up well: "Must be a blast to drive at the track." Indeed it is.

Dyno sheets to be posted when available. Happy Spring everyone!
