Just that I might have a spare 350k around... or that I might have 350k in my super secret toy slush fund. Hard to hide THAT much from my spousal other :-0

John got the joke..Long day Steve?



Heck, I know of a 962 in a private collection for 300K. Think if I was going to sell my house and drive a car it would have to be that. Car has a burned valve, but heck....I can afford the valve Of course if someone bought Pauls car it comes with their warranty, right

Steve,

Not questioning the values, if I had the coin we might be talking.

I was asking if one of the two was that car Paul Weir was trying to build (85% complete) a few years ago. Also I saw a white 935 with orange/yellow stripes at the Sam Hill race a couple of years ago. Is that one of them? Just curious.

Regards,

John

Nossir,...

One is a 935 converted from a 934 and the other is that '78 935 converted by Andial to K3 spec in 1979. It has one of our motors in it now (735 HP).

We took it to Monterey in '98 for the 50th and is featured in the group photo taken at that event.

Steve,

How did you manage to get 735 ponies from a "CIS" motor?

Pure trickery,...

Brother Randy is pulling your leg.

Its the ubiquitous MFI'ed flat-fan, twin-plug, horseshoe IC, twin-turbo 3.2 935 motor with our own cams, lots of internal mods and some head massage.

Its 735 HP at 1.0 bar.
