[Dave Galassi]

No, Fabian, the car, I'm pretty sure, was always maroon.  I think the color is just off in the article.

ok dave ,but the one on the report was red ???it's another notch jim build?? with another porsche 5 speed gearbox

[Dave Galassi]

That would be great if there were two, but, no, just one.  I think is just a matter of interpretation.  I would call it maroon, maybe others, red.

[speedwell]

you're right dave , but for me when i see the car he's red for me maroon is a kind of brown 

[Cornpanzer]

Great seats in that car.  Factory 911 S Recaro sport seats.  Would bring about $5000 just for the seats and brackets today.  I prefer Gabbards car since it is on 15" Fuchs.  The 14" Fuchs on Moore's car look dinky.....thought the same back then.

I was pretty good friends with Jim back then. The car was awesome, He was a fabricator for Dennis Aase's personal hobby shop. The Aase's owned a Porsche junkyard & Dennis Aase was a driver for To#¤ta in the IMSA series in the 80's. I remember in Dennis's shop in about 85 or so there was a 934, an Allard of some sort & a few other cool cars that I cannot remember. I sat in the 934 it was pretty cool. As for the Notch he drove it up to about 87 or 88 & sold it to my friend Glenn Gaskey. He drove it, it was stolen, recovered and sold to Japan along with many other cars of the time. When you look @ the photos, remember these were our only cars back then. Jim's car was fully detailed top & bottom & it was driven daily. Jim was also friends with Steve Saleen and he was the production manger for the assembly of the Saleen Mustangs for many years.  Danny Gabbard is another story... Later  Bill

Jimmy's car was always Maroon. We had another Red Notcher that was a RHD and belonged to the youngest of the Dean brothers... his name escapes me right now... getting old sux!

I also had my Sahara Beige beater notch at the time but it wasn't nice enough to run club stickers on it.

Your posts jogged some brain cells. The Dean brothers were John, Mark and Gary. Gary had the RHD notch.

Bill, the Allard was a Cad-Allard, the 934 was bitchen but do you remember the the Al Holbert, Lowenbrau 962? That shop was fun to visit and there was ALWAYS something cool to see. The notchback was badass. The pictures do not do the car justice. Jimmy did an absolutely bitchen job on that car. The seats were an Australian Ostritch skin with cloth inserts, same for the door panels and all the plastic items (dash pad, z-bars were all tan to match) The engine compartment, rear subframe 901 installation along with the rear valance treatment (louvered for more air) were all very tasteful. Just look a the pics, I could go on forever. I drove the car for a while and changed the drive train configuration around a couple of times. But returned it to it's glory before it went to Japan. In my opinion, the VERY BEST type III and one of the very best cal look cars ever produced. Glenn

[Dave Galassi]

Great to hear you chime in on this one Glenn.  As I mentioned before, I dog eared that month's Hot VW magazine, comparing and examining every detail of that car.  It sounds pretty funny now, but that car was the bar for me for years.  I would have liked to drive it.  Can I have a crystal ball to see it today?
