Another forward dated "Sheeper"......
I'm simply fascinated by these 993 clones (?); especially done on a longhood (geez).

Why sell them as a package ?
Why would you want both ?

You guys are being harsh - it's not like it was converted this week - it was done when it made sense so. You know, that time when all the 72T owners were like "gosh, this really should get 993 body work to be spot on"

What would be really awesome is a 356 rebodied as a Cayenne.

First 993 I have seen with an oil filler on the passenger quarter panel........
I hope someone doesn't use the 912 as a donor car. That car deserves a restoration more so than the 911 at this point. Would cost less and what a great color!

Yup. The 912 could be sweet.

For many years, I wanted to put Flag mirrors and flares on my 73.5.....

When I bought my 1st 911, in 1985, it was a 74 coupe 1 owner ice green metallic. All original. Being a bonehead 22 year old back then, I quickly proceeded to put flag mirrors on and painted all the bright trim black, to make it look like a newer car. Blew up my airbox a few months later and sold the car. Boy how I wish I could have it back! Funniest thing was I took out a student loan (unbeknownst to my parents) to buy it for $8000! Ah the joys of being young and stupid... :-)

Simply.........bangin......
On a side note, I'm not sure that is a sheeper since it's a real turbo. What a shame. MattR Last edited by matt930s; 09-27-2015 at 02:32 PM.. |

Yeah - maybe not a sheeper in that it's not underpowered like some other forward dated cars, but the ad seems to indicate that's it's not a genuine 930 either: Quote:

"DIY Sheeper Kit" and, at the same time, it looks like a case of "Sheeper Remorse"

People update their cars for many reasons, perhaps they wish to drive them without looking out of place. How many longhoods have you seen actually being used and driven ? Other than to car shows and events. Perhaps they are replacing old rusted body panels with the new body kit. All valid and understandable reasons for the "upgrade".

Having said that, I'm with you on the poke worthy 912 or 912e. Those are just embarrassing. |

Personally, I would not own a car that "looks" more powerful than it is, so for me, the drive-train comes first. Butt that said, and along the lines of the $ reference you made above, when I was a late teen/early twenties back in the 80s, "more pow'a" was out of the question as I have never been in a position to pay others to work on my car (wouldn't pay for it if I could, as working on them is part of the "pride in ownership" for me), and did not yet have the knowledge and experience necessary to build power or maintain a powerful machine, so I settled for fast looking back then. So with that in mind, you do make a good point. I guess it also primarily boils down to personsl preference, as many members don't give a flip about engine power, and think originality is more important (something I don't give two ****s about - not even one ****, in fact). On the 912 subject; I sling a lot more shat about them than I actually believe (mainly just to yank Christian's chain). I respect the 912 for what it is and it certainly is not a machine which poses as something it is not. Now with all that nonsense barfed forth, it sure is nice that not everyone has the same tastes in machines - would be much more difficult to fling feces if that were the case!

I just do not get fakey do cars, I think it is a weird to want to pretend you have something else with body work and emblems.
What a mind trip to be on. Last edited by ficke; 10-02-2015 at 06:15 AM.. |
