it not like cars sell on RL anyways ----- do they

so back OT

I learned stick on a 64' GMC pickup 327 V8, 3 on the tree, no 1st gear syncros - Learned to double clutch and rpm match and its a skill I use quite often

OH one last thing.... if we didnt keep this thread alive by talking on it, it would be burried anyhow....

 

I guess I will need to own one of those in the future to get some of that "feel good" churning

 

Someone mentioned farm? That's where I learned to drive a stick on the grandparent's '52 Ford flathead.............

(And didn't want to "correct" Iceman.........just point out that if you get a chance to take an early high-compression "S" out w/ 901 box, you'll transport back to McQueen in the opening of LeMans. Only thing close I have access to now is taking the 910 out. When it's running.)

 

I learned in a '47 *****'s jeep on my grandfather's ranch.

The 910 must be sweet indeed.

 

I learned to drive and shift at the same time, because I learned on a '80 Super Beetle. I took my driver's permit road test in a 1970 914-6, and my first car was a '62 356B T-6 Cabriolet. I loved that car, and it shifted like a Sears tractor but it was totally flickable and slidable around corners. I must have terrified many people now that I think about my dirt tract style of driving in those days, on my way to school in suburbia.

I don't understand complaints about shifting and stuff. You just learn each machine. I grew up working on the family farm and you sometimes have to learn in a few hours how to work a forklift, D2 Caterpillar, backhoe, front end loader, etc etc etc.....

 

bump

 

$40k is overpriced even for an actual turbo. Drop your asking price to $25k and you may start to see some interest. At the price you're asking, you're going to own that car for a long, loooooong time.....

 

I'm still amazed at the price given the gaping holes in service history, and I still question the truthfulness about this being one of 5 built that year...

 

That document showing production numbers has errors. I know because I own a 84 Cab M491 and the doc says only 2 built but I've seen at least 5 different COAs for 84 cabs m491.

Are the cars rare, sure not many where built. But don't trust that doc it's been floating around the net for a while. I have the same doc since 2005 or so.

No matter what the car is sharp.

And I bought my 84 M491 cab in 2006 for $17K with 90K miles just for reference. The car is not perfect but is still in all original paint and looks good.

 

Exactly what "changes" were made to the 915 in mid 1985?

 

SOLD

 

Price?

 

Congrats on the sale. I love my M491, my only wish is that it was a coupe! Yours was a stunner.

There will always be a strong market for these cars as the really nice, low mileage ones don't come on the market very often. They do have a different, more "planted" driving dynamic than a narrow body Carrera.

 

Would like to know the sales price.

 

PCNA's M491 sales numbers are all wrong. I've been searching for the "5" '86 Coupes for over 13 years. So far I've found 21. I found the subject of this post in 2007, it's #19 on my list.
