997 GT3 and a lift for the Hangar.
Christmas is a great time of year:) :) :D :D

Very, very nice. I thought you were going viper green?
That's one bad lookin' '66! Please describe the motor.
Nasty nasty lookin ride there. Must be a scream on the track huh? :D
The motor is a mag cased 2.5 built by 'Heinz Peters' about 11 years ago. It's twin plugged, case/crank boat tailed, shuffle pinnned etc., oil system update's, crank fired, Carrillo steel rods, heavy head work, weber 40's and the rest I can't remember! I had the 2.5 built at the same time Heinz built me a 2 liter for vintage racing. I raced it and ran misc. track events and drivers ed for a few years and then parked it. My son thought he would like to race it last year so we updated the car and he raced an SCCA race in EP. At a drivers ed he was practicing and I 'assume' he went from 5th to 1st, the tattletail on the tack was pegged and one of the 2 liters aluminum rod's let go and that was the end of that. So I installed the 2.5 and he raced one more race this year before he decided rear engine short WB was not for him. He prefers imports of the Japanese variety. I have never tracked the car myself with the 2.5 but did make a few runs on a dragstrip with it this summer jut for the heck of it. Best time was 13.9 @ 102 MPH, that was with a J.O.S geared box. When I did drive it with the 2 liter it handled very very well. When I built the car I used a 71 225MM transaxle with a Quaife and installed 67S rear suspension for the vented rotors. Front was also upgraded with 71 S front suspension. Sorry I couldn't be more detailed on the 2.5. It was just to long ago to remember and paper work I have no idea where that would be.
Met up w/ my good friend Tom McMahon over the New Years weekend in
Tucson. Took some nice pics on a classic Southwest winter day.
Here are some shots of his gorgeous low-mileage 71 T.
1000 mea culpa's for the impact bumper SC :o
Good luck in Maryland Tom, I'll miss our Tucson visits !
Thanks Chris,We are moving to Oxford,Md where sailing is more popular than Porsches,I suspect.No apologies are needed for that beautiful SC.Looking forward to meeting Porsche owners on the Eastern Shore.You are always welcome back here.It will be a big change from 8 years in the desert,but I grew up sailing ,so it is a welcome move.Enclosed is a pic of Oxford.The Inn across from our house was built in the 1600`s and our "new place" was built in 1870.Almost as old as I am. Cheers TFM
Yeah ... those Targas sure are ugly cars aren't they? :eek: :D
Tom - the car looks simply awesome (it looks like my twin ... before I pimped it out!). Those 185/70's look sooo good.
I love the car,but I admit that "Red Rules". I did take note of a few of your steps and added these air filters and the sport muffler,and briefly entertained redoing the interior in red,but the interior is completely original and came to my senses. Tom
