The wheels are polished Porsche 911 Fuchs with Falken tires, Karmann Ghia front disc brakes, drum rear brakes. The interior features adjustable Spyder-style bucket seats, Flat 4 banjo steering wheel, cable shifter, removable Speedster-style dash configuration with reproduction VDO Porsche gauges, cosmetic roll bars, twin headrest pods, lowed Speedster windscreen, square-weave carpeting. Still a few things needed like seat belts and other finishing touches. She runs strong and fast and stops well. Asking, $18, 500.

Hey Al, 

 

By the "next level" I mean really finish it up and enjoy it. As I've said before, it still needs seat belts, speedo cable and a couple other things. Plus the "roll bars" are actually cosmetic "show bars" that ultimately should be secured. It can be driven now, though it's a pretty loud and obnoxious (a good thing really) as it is. If I were taking it to the next level, I'd swap out the turbo set-up for a twin-carb induction and add a removable steering wheel. That way it would be more user friendly (getting in and out of a tiny car) and still powerful enough to scare yourself. 

 

Hey Jack, 

 

You're probably right...interplanetary travel. It's certainly fast as is. And it really is underpriced considering the kit alone ran $14K
