The least the selelr could have done is take some photos outside in the driveway.

I prefer uncluttered like this one.

Nice photo

The Truspeed website does a great job with their photos.

Thanks, and that was with a crappy point and shoot 10 year old 2MP Olympia D520 at high noon - the worst time to try and take a pic.

Old Question Revisited: With a stock 1974 2.7 liter base 911, is it better to install a pop off valve, or is it better to replace the air box with a 1981-1983 air box? If the latter, what are the main issues?

I don't know if the later airbox will work with the earlier system but according to Bruce Anderson a pop-off valve is a good idea, especially with the earlier CIS systems.

Cheap insurance.

WOW Makmov... that is an outstanding 964!

I really like 964s in general, but that one is beautiful. Obviously well-kept.

Seriously, they don't charge to post a new thread here. If you have a question, start a new thread to ask. Burying it in a thread about pics isn't your best route to good answers.

Thanks, it's not perfect, but it is pretty nice.

I just got lucky. It was a long lost garage find.

John, you do have a knack for finding things on the web.

Here are more suggestions for photographing cars:

When Jenna Jamison's Viper was for sale a few years back, do you think her pics helped sell the car? These really were part of the ad. That car was purchased by a dealer here in Raleigh - since sold I believe. Nothing crooked on those headlights.

Great thread....and no question, I see so many 'This is a SHOW CAR' advertisements and then CRAP pics...its just sad.

No affiliation, but ran into this EBAY 930 for sale....just this one PIC captures the entire essence of the 930.......just a perfect pic.
