Look at its silly exhaust system! Thanks, emissions regs. Someday that'll get replaced and gain a bunch of horseys, but the system is pricey. It stays stock for now.

What "pricey" exhaust system are you looking at? I might know a guy...

And what were you referring to about something hiding in the background? Something besides the AC compressor?

Eventually SSIs and a '74 muffler would make nice upgrades. If you know a guy.

If they are "just fallen off the truck" cheap I'd be interested in your guy as well.

What's ironic about this thread is Woody's thread on his 911 targa low-buck resto. You guys really need to feature him if this project goes into the mag, just my .02...

Yep and, no, we're not stealing its nose. It is a perfectly restored, totally disassembled '73 tub, though.

Future Classic Motorsports Project? I may have to talk to the powers that be about some advertising! (David, are you becoming a Porsche convert? When are you going to sell the Innocenti?)
