This has been posted somewhere on here before, but I just had to post it here. Nice price too ;D
Hoping for forgiveness from Speedwell for stealing it from his blog ;)
Well, this is too weird... The address in this ad is the address of the condo where Greg and I lived in '75 and I don't remember ever wanting to sell the car at that time, or even running an ad to sell it. Maybe it's old age on my part... ???and I'm wrong. The picture in the ad was taken at the time of the cover shot was taken. I moved from that address also in '75, got married in '76 and in '79 the car (sadly to say) became "Unpractical" to be driving daily, for my only means of transportation. Also, needing some money at the time, is when I decided to sell it. I did get that amount or very close to it!
I'm going to double check with Greg about me trying to sell the car while we lived at that address and if he proves me wrong, I'll be back to let you all know. ??? :o :)
If anyone knows where this ad was posted and the date, I'd like to know!
Thanks..... Jim
jim the add was in the hot vws may 75 :o
jim you owned the car still 79 ???
Hi Speedwell,
Yes, that's true.. I sold the car in '79. Maybe Deano can shine some light on that ad that ran in Hot VW's? Like I said above, I can't remember even wanting to sell the car at that time but according to this ad, it looks like I was considering it for some odd reason. Glad I changed my mind (if it's true) and right now, I wish I still had it. Having that along with my 911 would really be a blast... ;D
jim why don't you go into dkp II with the car ??? as you kept he car still 79 ::)
deano:
That original cover shot was taken in late November, early Decemeber, and 10-11 am. That's what is needed to get the lighting just right.... Coming up soon...

Ok, Here is the way I have it.. Kieth from la habra bought the car from jim, when I was in dkp 2. I bought it from kieth , $3500 and I owned it for around 3 yrs. I was living in balboa with roger grago and wanted to get a 911. I later sold it to christi for 4000. The ck was from her grandma to me , like 2 other cars i sold her. Great grandma, still kick'n too..I think clyde berg got the wheels, ?? A old vw guy named fred elliot seemed to be involved in the next sale. Heard it was a baja too. Yes, I have "brm finger".. (ask doug berg)..Christi has a mental block on what happened when i ask her..Damm, I wish I still had that car.. I changed the radio in the glove box to a blaupunkt. I remember driving to sacramento bugorama with kieth goss shotgun and doug and clyde berg in the backseat. Got first place in the car show. Still have the trophy, says bugorama III. Got an old photo of it in the car show. Doug did a great hand drawing too, but it faded away to nothing. Previous owner kieth gave a few nice black and white photos of car. Will try to scan a post. Remember back then, These cars where are only cars, daily drivers..Could never afford to have two, sell one ,financing the next one. I just had to have a 911.. I remember mark thurber building his red one, greg, doing a green one. ron just got his black 2.2 then i think. Roger really helped me alot on my 72 2.7 euro spec grand prix white 911. Built it,flogged it, went to jail, sold it. Bought a land cruiser....Oh yeah, roger,, according to the OTHER post I really had to twist your arm on partying...Remember, "first ones free" saying?..Like I said living in orange county "growing up" was the BEST for a car guy...bill
