Did a deal with him in Jan, no problems. PPI's, Carfax, Autocheck are great, but when your talkin' $100k plus, Drive or Fly out & buy a $200.00 Paint meter while your at it.

 

I live nearby to Canepa's shop, and get over there about once a month for his "Cars and Caffeine" car gatherings. I know nothing about him personally, but his shop, sales floor, and museum are absolutely incredible. He does a LOT of very high-end restorations in his immaculate shop. Let me know if anyone wants a car inspected, and I'll be happy to stop by with my camera. I'm not any kind of an expert, just an enthusiast.

 

car can't be sold yet, bruce left me another message indicating they were servicing it, new rear tires etc...still too much $ IMO

 

I got a voicemail too. I was starting to think my money wasn't green.

One of the best cars I've seen. I'm pointing a good friend to contact him about the car. I'm keeping mine and going to enjoy it, try not to look back.

 

The car is gorgeous. I just looked at it Saturday. The shop is loaded getting ready for Monterey. I think Sean said 4 or 5 cars are going to Pebble, and numerous cars going to the track.

993TT hadn't been serviced according to Sean, tires and a few other things are being done. I am sure they will do all services and upgrades and add the 996 sump scavenge lines.

The 1st Duesenburg is almost completed and getting ready for Pebble Beach. Truly amazing.

The weekend before at Cars and Coffee, Bruce drove the L&M 917/10 down the street and onto the freeway to make sure the car was creating boost. Unbelievable!

Quite the collection of cars and history in that building. The Le Man winning 935 was there also getting ready for Pebble Beach or Quail I can not remember.

 

he replaced the power steering rack as well he told me...just seems like the price is too high...similar mileage 96 at willhoit for much less (arena red)

 

Someone else said it here, Arena Red is not an upcharge color.

My $.02

 

Well I see more black and silver cars than Area Red. AR looks great all detailed and when it has a good interior combo.

 

yes but a 25g up charge?

 

Off topic.


It's true. 917 cruising around Scotts Valley. Madness I tell you!

 

I went to Canepa a few days ago to perform a Rennfax for a potential buyer. This car is PERFECT. It needs only a good detail on the paint. Oh... and of course there was this:

 

and to think, I practically got a cavity search for doing a lot less on Scotts Valley Drive, when I was a kid.

 

Of course you were told the car hadn't been serviced yet? As I was told.

I noticed you were 1st respond to this 993 fix sight.

I heard the car is sold anyway, and will be serviced as was my car when I purchased from Bruce.

I imagine you just lost your invitation to cars and coffee Arena Red Ruf guy.

 

Guess that would explain the car hasn't been serviced yet as most everyone else on here has said.

I agree with Carrera73 your invitation to Cars and Coffee is probably going to be lost in the mail.

I understand why Bruce hasn't got on here to defend himself, no defense against ******** from your home town.

 

Yes, the car probably hasn't been serviced. How is that going to fix the massive puddle of oil in the passenger-side turbo? Unless they replace the wrong oil filter and clean the intercooler and drain the turbo. Of course, since Bruce DID all the previous service on this car, if it has the wrong oil filter, he will probably put another wrong one on. Or perhaps there are some other issues causing the smoke? I don't know, but it is unlikely that a "service" will correct this issue. Perhaps all this extremely low mileage car needs is a good, old fashioned Italian tune up?

So, I'm an ******* for pointing out there is a oil smoke issue with this car? I went to view the car for another Rennlister, and I would have been remiss to NOT point this out to him as a potential problem.

I repeat... this car is absolutely PERFECT in every respect. The paint needs a good polish, and this oil smoke issue needs to be addressed. Period.
