Needed: Copy Of Excellence Magazine IM Speedster

There was an IM speedster in a copy of Excellence earlier this year or late last year. It's a Stone Gray Carrera that I think was 911 motivated.

I would pay for it and shipping. Or, if you want to loan it, I would pay both ways. (The Magazine, not the Carrera), but then again, if the price is right.......

Dude, get a recent copy of excellence and order the old one from the back... I think I know why you want it and it will make a great point of referrence. If it isn't in print, I'll send you mine.
That's what I did...
Bubba says 'HI!'

I ordered a copy from Excellence last month and received it in three days.

As a side note:

This months 356 Registry magazine is almost an all Speedster issue because of the 50 year aniversary gatherings going on.
Lots of coverage of the older cars abd bice detail pics as well.

Thanks guys. I just went over to the shop and dug through stacks of magazines I refuse to throw away. I was sure I had that issue. Three boxes later I gave up.

Yes, Paul you got it right. I am working on getting my list and checking it twice. I think Henry just sent me pictures of that Excellence featured IM fresh out of the shop and over where he usually takes build shots. Wasn't it a 59 Carrera relplica, with the roll bar and all? The pics I just got on e-mail show all angles and I think it looked like 911 twins coming out the rear. He's off today and I will talk to him tommorow about it. Paul, call me anytime C 405-615-7384 except from 2pm until I wake up after a colonoscopy today. I'm wearing a black thong for the Doc's thrill factor. Ok, I'm not, but I may ask him for a reach around, or simply to blow in my ear. I may be a scope slut, but I DO expect him to have some bedside manners.

Brooks, we haven't met, but I noted your post on an IM build. Silver sounds right... I like the look you mentioned. There was a silver IM at Knott's belonging to a neat Porsche lover, Charlene. She had a shade of silver that I thought looked right, it was Zermatt Silver. I think it may be a deeper shade than Geos. Might be worth looking into. She doesn't have pictures up, but there are some under events, and back in April you will find cars at Knotts. Also, just for reference, if you are looking over Speedsters for inspiration, go to the 356 Registry site, and I think under "what's new" and you'll see their annual East meet. There are at least a thousand pictures of 356s and many, many great shots of Speedsters.. a few GTs, a four cammer, many colors, and etc. Really good visuals to get some ideas from.

TC... thanks! I'm calling in and ordering that issue today! I'm not doing a 911 powered car, but I did want to read that article over again.

Jim:

Did you ever see a copy of "Classic & Sports Car" for May 2001? It had a picture of Steve McQueen's silver Speedster on the cover, and an article inside about that car (now owned by his son, Chad) and Speedsters in general. If I can, I could try to copy it and send it out to you.

I loved the comments, like: "no vices in street driving" and "you can easily light a cigarette in the cockpit at highway speeds"

Jim, if you pick up the latest copy of Excellence there is an interesting feature on an early "A" Outlaw coupe with some neat ideas plus you get the order form for back issues at the same time.

Rick, I was down at Barnes and Noble about an hour ago and looked at the current issue. What did you think of the tail light treatment on the outlaw? far out!
