Default new shark

ok I went and picked up another shark today... what a nightmare
however I think I hit paydirt with this one...
this mature lady comes equipped witht the following RARE aftermaket options

complete construction/demo crew (ant colonies)
bio medical lab (mold and mildew)
security system (mosquito nests)
private lake (standing water in floorboards)
PLUS I got an alternative EPA friendly transportation device noted with the arrow

this pic is after we spent 3 hrs pulling it out of a swamp

Transportation device? Is that a Tarzan joke? Looks like a vine...

So I take it that's the track car... Well, far better than the fate it was suffering.

I was going to make the other 78 a track car but this one may be better in the long run since most of it's already ruined... I just can't believe someone would leave this car sitting unprotected in that environment for so long.. his side yard is full of jags with the windows down and doors open for who knows how long... someone should revoke his rights to own automobiles of any decent vintage

Hey, uh,,,, those bottom feeding comments - well, that was just sarcasm. I never intended someone to go swamp diving for a car. At least you pulled out a good one. Is it catch & release?

What's the bolt pattern for a 928? I would be interested in the wheels if they fit a Ferrari Mondial or 328. Offset looks close, but would need to measure. Anyone know the possibles?

hey Doc,
I'm the guy you always see stooped over picking up pennies... there are plenty of pickings on the bottom.. this baby actually has an intact center console! not sure of the offset on the wheels, Alan Bayliss would be the guy to ask, but if they'll fit you're 1st in line

Dave, Heinrich... combo of swamp gas and humidity
I wonder if I fiberglass the outside and drop an Evinrude in the back... hmmm
