Be ready to work on your 911 a bunch. Not to discourage you, but it is a commitment.

I'm a 944 owner....commitment is my middle name.

Your 944 was designed by Porsche for Audi but Audi backed out last minute and Porsche said **** it, so they dropped a Porsche Engine into it. I say that Audi would have not done what Porsche did with it. And big Deal, its not like people know what they're saying while holding on to the keys of a car with an aluminum bolt on wing.

Well to be accurate you are talking about the 924.. evan by the second year ( the 924S ) the Audi engine was gone replaced by a Porsche powerplant. By the time the 944 iteration came aong it was pretty well a Porsche ... i think some were built in Finland actually. Allt he same the 944 was a nice package, and by the time it bacame the 944turbo S, it had become quite the complete package..

I stand corrected.

Bretech, what did you get for 4k? The 911 in your avatar? Do tell!

Bretech

yes I got it for 4k even. It's a 1974 911S with SC Flares. It had a 3.0 in it but my friend took the motor out for his track car, and we slapped in an old 901 tranny w/ 2.2 that had been sitting for 5 years. The tranny got stuck in gear and wouldn't shift properly on the 1st day i got it, so I pulled the motor out w/ tranny so that I can have a rebuild guy take a good look at the internals. But I'm actually on my way to pomona right now to see if I can find a deal on a 901 tranny, just in case. So I got it cheap, since it was practically sitting in my friends property, doing nothing. I like to think that somehow I got a great deal. HA!
