    El Chucho - the hot rod!

    After a five-year love affair, El Chucho and I have decided to part ways as I feel it's time for a change. For me, the journey is all, the destination is an end point.

    The car is going up for sale at Williams-Crawford for £54,995 (c. $73,500 US or 62,000 Euro), a fraction of what it would have taken to build, but then we all know how that works!

    Started life as a black 912 built 15 November 1965, delivered to Sunset Porsche, Portland, Oregon, 15 August 1966.

    Engine:
    911 six-cylinder motor built by Bob Watson, and based on 1970 2.2 911E
    Timecerted cylinder head studs

    Carrera pressure-fed cam-chain tensioners
    ARP fasteners used throughout
    911SC oil pump

    Patrick Motorsports lightweight flywheel and Sachs clutch
    Jenvey throttle-body fuel-injection
    Megasquirt ECU by Extra EFI
    Crankfire ignition with Cosworth V6 coil pack
    Lightweight rear engine mounting bar
    Powerflex engine and transmission mountings
    Vintage Speed stainless-steel headers and sport muffler
    Dyno figures: 205bhp at 6850rpm and 165lbft torque at 6700rpm

    Transmission:
    Built by Mike Bainbridge (MB Engineering)
    Five-speed magnesium cased 901/2 trans
    Custom Sway-A-Way heavy duty axles

    Suspension:
    Bilstein dampers all round
    19mm & 24mm torsion bars
    Weltmeister anti-roll bars front and rear
    Weltmeister and Powerflex urethane bushes

    Brakes:
    Billet six-pot calipers (front) by Carbon 12 Racing
    Billet four-pot calipers (rear) by Carbon 12 Racing
    AP Racing vented discs (front) with Porsche 944 vented discs (rear)
    Braided stainless-steel hoses

    Wheels & tyres:

    Wow, that didn't take long.
    So what's next? Have you seen (or bought) something else already?
    Good luck with the sale!

    Good luck with the sale, Keith. As a fellow 912-6 owner, I truly enjoyed watching the build through your magazine.

    Well, I have had the car for five years, on the road for over two - for me that's a lifetime in car ownership!
    No plans for another project right now - still don't have a garage or workshop facilities of my own, which makes like difficult in that respect.
    Thanks!
