94 IM for sale..

Check out the 94 IM for sale here. Don't know about you guys but this looks like a 911 front grafted to a 346 flared rear. I'm not sure that I like the look...

I agree...I like it and I don't...can't decide. Might look better in the flesh. Maybe Robert should take a look, since it's in Ontario.

That looks like the one that sat at IM forever. If I'm not mistaken I believe that was Henry's personal vehicle. If it is the same one. It had all the work done to it (911 parts, harnesses, cup wheels and the turbo look package)

It just could be. The last time I saw his black, 911 powered roadster was about a year ago. His car didn't have Porsche 'cup' wheels on it. Actually, his wife drove the car and Henry told me she didn't want him to sell it.

Then the black one shown has to be the one on the cover page for www.intermeccanica.org , which I thought was Henry's car.

That looks like a 67 912 I saw where the guy cut the top off and put a Speedster windshield on it. (Note that's a D windscreen.) It was red, and he did a really nice job, except, he never finished it such that you could put a convertible top on it. It was strictly a fair weather car, but very nice in person. The D windscreen would have made the roll up sidewindows more usable.

What about the 911 on Ebay that was converted to a "Speedster"? But doesn't have a top...

Are you gentlemen refering to this '66 912 on ebay again?

I like that 66 912 Speedster! The lines look real nice on that car. I've got an old 66 912 that has been languishing around my garage...now I know what I'd like to do to it.

Ya, and the first BIG bump you went over (at speed, of course) you break that baby in two.

Man, this page is wiiiiide!!

Yea man, wiiiiide. Hey Theron, is this a glitch or are we doing something wrong?

That red one looks like it, so it was a 66! Pan stiffeners were used right on the pan-t- body bolt line. Basically, there were just 6"x 1" channel iron bolted in with longer body bolts. I suspect it added back a lot of rigidity. Althoug nothing like the original roof.

66 912 body does not bolt to a pan. Same as a 911...uni-body. No doubt stiffeners were used in some way though. Maybe the mods that the factory made for the targa?

Speaking of stiffeners...I think I noticed that Tweeks has stiffeners for the 911 Cab for sale that bolt in and go from the upper seat belt mount to the lower mount...one diagonal on each side. Do you think a modification like that would be of any help on our cars? I guess it would help with torsional flexing although I don't know how much.

What about something like this for stiffening a speedster?

Here's the details and asking price in Canadian dollars as sent to me by the vendor....

This car has only 13,000 miles on it and has had two owners from new. it is finished in black on Red leather and is in excellent condition other than a few very minor stone chips. This car was owned by the founder of Intermeccanica. We would part with the car for $43,500.00.
Thank you
