I quite like it  ....the steering wheel in particular would help offset the cost of purchase, especially if modelled in a Corsa or Saxo! What have they done, what possessed them? Did a quick search and saw it was previously advertised on Old Bugs with original seats, fan shroud, no carpet and proper bumpers, since then they did this to it  |

So who is the 'O.C. celebrity' that spend $11,000 on work to spoil a cool car. Those extra lights, horrible steering wheel and ugly indicator stalk all belong on a ricer not a Cal Looker.  |

It is my understanding that the new owner, who is larger in size than Darrell, could not drive the car with the Porsche 356 steering wheel, Berg T-handle, and stock seats. So, changes were made. He is also very old school, as the 911 fan shroud was not his taste, so he had F&A redo the engine to more period correct. Compression was dropped as well. Remember, there is no reserve on this auction so high bidder, drives it home...

Wow. Aside from the many, many sins commited to it you would think the least they could do is clean up the underside.

Interesting mix of conflicting "improvements." The car clearly has alot of attention to detail from the prior owner. The new changes include rubber fuel hose and breather hose with standard worm clamps. OEM style fuel pump. Inexpensive aluminum crank pulley. Custom Berg Linkage (did I miss it, what's custom about it?). And like mentioned above, I don't get the modifications made to the front bumper. Is that an "import tunner" modification somehow making its way into the cal-look world? Bottom line, though, is the owner is entitled to make whatever changes he/she wants to make. |

I can't believe the new owner didn't paint it too! If this were April, I would say it has to be a joke,..kind of like the side marker lights,...oh, and every single thing that was changed,....every single thing.

While this car never was amongst my favorite cal-lookers, what has become of it now is just sad.

I never liked the Porsche shroud that was on it to begin with, as for me it's just one more thing for V8 guys to say "Oh, see, it does have a Porschee engine in thar!" Lol  The changes that were made interior wise and exteriorwise, I can't stand. And I really don't like the seller capitilizing on the previous owner's efforts; I would be very interested to know who the "local celebrity" in Orange County is that is referenced in the ad? |

The seller's name probably isn't someone you heard of on this, or any other forum. |
