Thumbs up We just finished Reasoring a Ltd Edition

Hey Guys,
We have just finished restoring another Ltd Edition. We just finished it this week. I bought on eBay a couple of years ago for $2500 bucks from a guy in Nashville. It took us 9 months to do it due to not working on it all the time. It is #14884 and is in the reg. This is the 4th one I have restored in the last 10 years. I am restoring #14740 now also its panted and has started being assembled. I have it sold #14884 to a lawer here in Knoxville.
I like them BBs the best.

We have restored 1 CC and 3 BBs. I have another BB about halfway done. I currently have 5 Ltd's all BBs but after this week I'll be down to 4. The most I have had at 1 time was 6. I sold a CC to one of my 911 customers here in Knoxville about a year and a half ago. The only other one I have sold was a BB to a guy in Nashville but that was 10 years ago. So far the ones that I have sold stayed here in Tennessee and 2 out of the 3 are still here in the Knoxville area and I still service them.

I like them but I can't have them all!! But I'm doing OK!!
Here is some pics.

SeeYa!

No the Ltds didn't come with a Monza muffler.
The guy I am selling it to requested it.
He had a 914 back in the 70's with one on it.
I did my best to talk him out of putting it on, but he is reliveing his younger days.

Thumbs up

I think Jason one of our mech's that did the rebuilt it dose.
Its a 75 engine and was in the car car when I got it.
It also had dual webbers on it. I replaced thecarbs with the proper FI system.
We put in euro P&Cs and decked the head a little other than that its stock.
We also installed SST exchangers.
Heres a pic with the air cleaner off.
