I have a chance to build a one-off 904 with racecarreplicas. I bought this car instead of building one knowing that Fran Hall would eventually build a 904. Fran is ready to go (about a year before I expected).
While I am not quite done enjoying this car, my wife won't let me have 4 toys (currently BMW 645, 2005 Boxster S with 3.8 X51 and the 550).
So with regret, I am putting the 550 up for sale. I bought this one in March of last year. I made the following changes:
removed the gumball numbers;
added a removable roll bar;
Had the car dyno-tuned to improve cold start;
added some frame stiffening in the engine compartment;
added a muffler.
It is a 2004 Vintage Spyder.
