Post by: Lee.C on April 28, 2009, 13:50:17 pm The keys. Agreed dude but apart from that I would have to say My Empi Tacho - It was one of the first "vintage parts" I collected years ago and its been mounted on the hood/bonnet of my Manx ever since and through the wind, rain and mud its WORKED, Never missed a beat and I would say it as accurate as any modern Tach ;D Title: Re: the most prized possession on your car. Post by: GASBNR on April 28, 2009, 14:03:25 pm mine would have to be my two front 4.5 , they were once owned by Gene Berg and have been engraved in the centre

Post by: Dave Rosique on April 28, 2009, 15:33:04 pm Sold all my prized, rare parts years ago... regretted it ever since... now I'm starting over.

Title: Re: the most prized possession on your car. Post by: Donny B. on April 28, 2009, 16:11:11 pm My most prized is the Berg 5 transmission. I waited so long to get one, but it was well worth the wait. I have had it for many years now and love it. I have over 50K miles on at this point.
Title: Re: the most prized possession on your car. Post by: jamiep_jamiep on April 28, 2009, 16:13:57 pm ::) ::) too much parts ;D ;D Even with all the choice parts yours has Speedwell, is there one part that stands out? maybe even just for sentimental reasons? The one I regret selling the most was a set of DDS pie pans, 13 x 5 fronts and 15x6 rears. :( As DR says if its not going to make or break you keep it! Title: Re: the most prized possession on your car. Post by: Jim Ratto on April 28, 2009, 16:42:06 pm my Weber 48's as I got them (1991) from a late friend who was really a mentor when I was younger. Plus he gave me an unheard of deal on a very sweet pair.

-jeffrey Title: Re: the most prized possession on your car. Post by: Sam K on April 29, 2009, 04:44:59 am I guess the most prized possession on my car is the car itself. My uncle bought it in 1969 or so and I've had it since 1990. It's been in the same basic configuration for several years now, but since I've owned it, the car has been painted twice, had 5 sets of wheels, 3 floorpans, 12 transmissions, 4 interiors, 5 front beams, more engine combinations than I can remember, as well as a ton of other parts installed and removed. The body is about all thats left of the original car, but it's the last part I would ever sell.

Post by: Jason Foster on April 29, 2009, 05:35:15 am Like minded with Mark, the pink slip is probably most prized. but also my N.O.S when I got it formuling wheel found by my then girlfriend now wife on e-bay for 60 bucks. Also my Italian IDA's.

I can honestly say that I've never witness acceleration like it, and I've been lucky enough to drive some serious modern machinery, from Mit Evo's, to Bentley Conti GT's to power upgrade 911 Turbos. The thing flies ;D Title: Re: the most prized possession on your car.

The body is about all thats left of the original car, but it's the last part I would ever sell. So true ... the car itself would be the prized possession for me as well. My brother bought my '69 back in '71, he was the second owner. H edrove me to school in it when I was 6! 1st GRADE! It was one of the first 'hot rod' bugs in San Antonio back in those days. Oh the stories I could tell! Of course it has gone through many transformations through the years, at one point being a racecar. I finally bought it from him about 17 years ago, swapped motors between it and my '67 to go racing, and I started driving it on the street again. It's currently running my 2276 with the original IDAs (circa 1986), Okrassa crank, Fumio welded heads, and Berg 5 speed. Also have my 'original' Flat 4 BRMs I bought back when they first came out in the '90s from BFY! The transformations continue ... new motor being built, chassis work in the future and redesigning the upholstery. Oh yeah, got a set of Fuchs (finally!) too ... The car is affectionately referred to as 'WARP' due to personalized plates from the 80's ... 'WARP 2' ... Cool post! Takes me back. :D Title: Re: the most prized possession on your car.
