Too bad it's not a private party selling... I have a friend with a '68S SWT who would likely trade for this + a little cash.

From the first time I laid eyes on it, THIS one has been one of my all time favorites........

Look at page 56 of the April Pano. I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon.

I doubt folks will agree and this might be regarded as herasy by some .. while in no way doubting the skill quality, eminence of the well regarded innovative creators but the “I got lost in way to the race track look” isn’t something that appeals.

A real race car that has sports purpose or rennsport because it’s authentic to car and history is one thing and improvements can be made to 911 of course.

But outlaw hotrod and the like even when done by food considered among the best and pioneering in field can risk becoming a bit of a pastiche … racing numbers when not competing or when the car isn’t in any way a notable chassis that carried the numbers to achieve something significant. 722 on the Mille Miglia Merc is apt but what’s that and the other stuff all about here? Numbers being a very small easily removed example but it along other things kind of convey something by being there — something that either really appeals or it really doesn’t!

Perhaps this example if has actually raced hard is not the one to pick as the example to make such comment but generally I can’t warm to what’s become somewhat overdone and perhaps rather passé.

Each to their own and sure it’ll do well as it’s no doubt a quality thing from renowned creators … just my tuppence-worth

All you have to do is remove the big #58 numbers and you would be fine for the street.

now bidding on Bring a Trailer at $150,000 what does that say about appeal?

I love this car, and appreciate the direction the Emory’s took it in. Starting with a genuine ‘67 chassis without its original case, gives license to modifications since chances of a perfect restoration are slim. Going in the 911R direction is well justified; especially because of the desirability. If I were to embark on a similar project, would I have gone in exactly the same direction hoping to achieve an identical result? No. No two of us would agree perfectly on what the result should be.

There are some things right off that I’d want different. But a 1760 lb 911R Tribute with 300+/- hp and a lot of period correct 911R features would allow me to forgive a lot! This’s gonna be a smokin deal in terms of bang for the buck vs the price of a real ‘67 911R.

Always dreaming about “what if’s”. Most recently about what starting with an SWB S chassis, combined the new Swindon 4 valve heads on a Metzger engine along with lots of carbon fiber (Tuthill, KAMM), plexiglass, and everything else needed to create the “ultimate” 911R tribute? When I dream, I go BIG
