    Porsche Tangled w/Blazer and Won - Need Good '68 Crossmember

    I need a good front crossmember for my '68 911 after tangling and taking down a Chevy Blazer. The force of impact drove the driver's side of the crossmember into the concrete and split it. May also need a driver's side A arm and the cover panel for the crossmember.

    Thx,
    Dan

    I upgraded the front suspension of my 68 to a Carrera front end recently. The parts are still at TRE Motorsports. Give Dave a call I'm sure he has all that you may need.

    Sorry about your car.....nice job taking out the Bronco

    68 front end is different. I think the A arms are the same, the cross member that connects the front end is the same as a 69.. if you're going with that i would get the whole front end not just one bit to make sure it all matches up...

    That is a classic David vs. Goliath photo... I'm saving that one!

    Glad you are ok and that the car will live-on to terrorize the SUV crowd.
