Hi Thomas:
What a good excuse to show off your baby! Smile

I like the car.

I thought maybe you had installed a JFS instead of the normal engine,
hoping it would explain why the TV commercials in Australia show cars sounding more like jets fighters instead of cars.
( no rumbling of V8 engines anywhere).

These shots were originally posted in the "Handing ceremony IDF/AF F-16s" topic at

I moved the here since I really think they deserve a topic of their own.
Great job on the restauration Tom!

Thanks folks, long hours, big bucks too...glad it is done.

Hi Tom,

The 911 is definitely my dream car! The engine in yours, is that the 2687 cc, Bosch K-Jetronic injection with 150 hp?

Any modifications you have done besides the dashboard? Were the Fuchs weels standard on this one?

I'm looking forward to the new Carrera Cabriolet. Not that I can afford one (therefore I said 'dreamcar'), but I never really liked the teardrop headlights and this new cabrio has the old roundshaped style.

Yep.. 2.7 Liter Engine, during the Overhaul, I had them (MotorMeister of California) beef the engine up slightly, now produces slightly over 200bhp.
