|
|
Leaving Friday afternoon to go fetch this forlorn foreigner currently sitting in a small town near Hershey PA. Will be a tight schedule to get there and back on a single overnight...but, anybody along the route between Detroit and Hershey? We might be able to visit briefly on our return trip on Saturday... _________________ erstwhile owner of just about every 924 variant ever made

So...it was you who was outbidding me ! Sonuvab...
Oh well, it would have taken money out of my LeMons car fund, so it is probably for the best.
P.S. I know exactly where this place is, it is Annville,PA. I have been there many times. Sorry I am not along the route or I would have met you or gone along to see what you cheated me out of..LOL _________________ Matt

Matt, sorry, it was too good of a deal to pass up! We'll see if it's resurrectable soon. _________________ erstwhile owner of just about every 924 variant ever made |

Yeah, it was a good deal ! I am glad that someone here got it ! It looked to be a good project, but I have enough of those already.
Good luck with the resurrection Dan ! _________________ Matt

Yeah, me too, but I just couldn't pass up a chance to get a Euro-spec. I'm hoping I can keep it on the road. This is why I got rid of the 944 chassis, even though I wasn't quite done parting it out. It was the only way I could talk my wife into letting me get it. I may also end up getting rid of the black 924S if this car is half as good as I'm hoping. I know it's rough in spots, but I think I have enough pieces to put a pretty decent car together between it and the 924S chassis. _________________ erstwhile owner of just about every 924 variant ever made |

If you went out to philly area, I'm sure there would be a few of us in the area to say hi to. That's about two hours out of the way though. probably more with traffic. _________________ proud owner of a 1979 924 Sebring Edition with a 931 trans that looks horrible but somehow runs... |

Hey Dan, you'll be passing within a mile of the cabin after the Bedford exit on the PA turnpike. Don't forget to wave.

I lived in that area for decades and visit it often. To avoid tolls in PA and to enjoy some of the best main road scenery in PA, I would take the 532 mile I-80 route if the weather is good _________________ White 87 924S "Ghost"

Yeah, good point Paul...maybe we'll take that route back on Saturday...I'm not leaving Detroit until 4 tomorrow night, so it'll be dark on the way there, and we'll be motivated to get to the hotel ASAP. I spent a year and half in Shrewsbury PA, which is just south of there. Love PA. Beautiful state. _________________ erstwhile owner of just about every 924 variant ever made |

From 69 to 78 we lived in State College, from 78 to 87 we lived on Lewisberry Rd a few miles from New Cumberland, and from 87 to 92 we lived at Lake Meade (East Berlin). I grew up between Philipsburg and Tyrone. _________________ White 87 924S "Ghost"
