6 wheel'n!!
 
On the way to get gas cans filled for Mark and Joe today at the LVMS, Rob and I spotted this! An immediate investigation was in order!!
It was parked in front of a speedway restaurant
Thankfully i had my Palm Pilot that had a digital camera built in. Not the best quality..but..you can see it!

Do both those tandams have power or just one set? Never seen anything like it? Would like to know more. What is that address on the side? I can't make it out.

Right on !

Well, if it isn't a Sharkamino. It looks like it is pretty nicely thought out. Good job catching it Tony !

www.shoptask.com. bit no pictures of the car there...

My former neighbors owned a dwarf car, and told me about a fellow racer from Las Vegas who owns a 6-wheeled 928. It must be him...

Super Sighting!!
Attention Danes - under Mad's thread last week re magnesium wheels, someone noted that 'pickup' 928's were popular due to a scorching 180% tax on cars.
This could become a hot item in Denmark.

Maybe a year ago I've read a thread somewhere on that vehicle.

Yeah Mark had sold him the parts for the conversion and was wondering what became of it. Now he know. As a far as the drive wheels, only one pair is driven. I had a pic of the underside but the PALM doesnt have the best shutter speed..too blurry. Hopefully it will be out there again today, ill have my good camera with me. Would a stitch if it had a tail gate!

Mark is curently building a parts getter very similar to this, but single axle instead. It actually showed up at his shop during sharktoberfest, perhaps some of you saw it?

>This could become a hot item in Denmark.

I doubt it - there's a limit you know, even for us ;)

Seriously, the advantage was there 10 years ago when you could get a brand new GTS $150K below sticker (half price). Today however, an unmolested 928 is so relatively cheap that, compared to the cost of owning it, the money you'll save up front on a truck conversion simply doesn't make any sense.

Ironically, the shop that originally did most (if not all) conversions is now (and have been for more than a year) stuck with a handfull of cars they simply cannot sell. Whenever they give up trying and decides to simply give them away, I'll pick one up (no pun intended :) )

The expression "haulin' Ass" comes to mind.

That has to be the sighting of all 928 sightings! That waaay beats the S I saw in the impound cage at the State police barricks on the Pa turnpike.

Tone, get some better pics for us will ya.

That's like seeing pam anderson with three boobs....dude WTF!???!!!

from the Godfather "look how they massacred my car"..........

I'll just look away.

Tony last I spoke with the owner it was going to have belt drive to couple the inner CVs from one axle to the other so both axles WERE driven !!! And yes I supplied him with a rear axle / body clip .

Here is a picture of the work in progress:
