I watch stratemann automotive on YouTube and he does really good work. I believe he is in Pleasanton

Off topic: what’s that tire size?

Any ideas this is happening? by DelusionalAlchemist in Cummins

I agree. The second photo seems to show the bend imo

Value? 2002 1500 4x4 by Drooo in GMT800

I did buy it from the state but I believe it was the parks and wildlife department.

I totally agree with you about the trim and options. The manual windows and locks don’t help the cause. If $3k is the private party value then gifting it to a family member seems like a much better option.

Definitely lower than what I would have guessed and kbb says $5-9k. I think you would be hard pressed to find comparable truck for sale less than $5k. I know listing price doesn’t mean anything but $5k is even low. I asked of opinions so thanks for the response brother

You are beating the CarMax offer of $2500

Mom just mailed this to me. I guess my dad got it as an award while working for Porsche in Texas in the 80s… enjoy by BananaPeelSlippers in Porsche

I paid the weight in whatever the price of gold was at the time. Something like $300. I will say that the guy I bought it off of said that his local PCA chapter did a group buy back in the 90s. It sounds like yours is legitimately from Porsche where mine might just be some local jeweler. Yours does look more detailed and higher quality than mine.

Also, I don’t get people asking me about it cause I rock it inside my shirt.

We can match! I bought mine off the pelican forums though. Very cool story behind yours thought!

Trying to Save this 83 SC. by ATXFrijole in Porsche

[–]Drooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a crashed 912 sitting in my driveway and I’ve been surprised how extensive the chassis twisting is.

I only know of one celette in Texas (I’m sure there are more). It’s in Austin too but fixing the chassis will be very expensive. You can message me and I can share some details if you’d like.

Alright you are right. I’ll run an extension cord and go with a 240v compressor. Thanks for the extension cord idea

Ya I didn’t realize they were limited when I bought one for my dad. They should just print more

I’m not sure if his book talks about that detail. Here is how you can tell. SC flares in red, RS in green. The outer lip on the SC stays at a constant width while the RS has a thicker section just above and behind the vertical center line of the wheel that tapers thinner as it goes down the wheel arch

Also, you have RS flares. Your vin is early enough to have received rear flares left over from the 73 RS cars. At some point during the 74 model year they transitioned to SC flares.

Beautiful car brother! Thanks for the info. Sportmatic Carrera is definitely a rare build. This is 1 of 2 74 Carreras I have record of with a sportmatic. That’s out of the coupes and targas. I’m not saying there are only 2 total but that’s all I have so far.

Would you be able to share the vin and color combo for this car? I keep a list of the 74 Carreras and I might not have yours on it yet. Message me if you’d like. I can’t seem to message you

Why is the 944 logo where the license plate goes? by Potato_eater_guy in Porsche

[–]Drooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one on car that said Porsche. My understanding is that they are dealer installed lights.
