dub Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 man how do you know all these? yes Chris it is a Bugeye Sprite try this guys Is that one of those b+b creations? It looks like a 924 Turbo/931 converted to a wagon. (Done for luxo tax exemptions in some Euro countries in the 80s.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggon Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 [ Correct again, 924. Has the fender flares of the Carrera GT so may be based on that model As far as my car knowledge goes, I spent all my youth , and a lot of my adult life, building mndels, slot racing, and buruing my nose in car mags. So I guess all of that kinda sunk in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick F40 Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 I guess I can give you that but another source says an early 944?

CAL Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I guess I can give you that but another source says an early 944? yeah but imports? You could a flairless 944 or non-widebody 944. It looks like a 944. Porsche did build some "estate wagons" Basically a 944 with a Passat roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, its hard to tell if its a 924 or 944 without seeing the rest of it. I will reluctantly admit that next to my stack of Car Model, Street Rodder, and Car Craft magazines was a pile of ( wince ) Road and Track mags. Dont shoot me!

dub Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I think I can see enough of the dash to say 924. I don't think 944s had that awful dashboard from the 924s. (I mean, could you put the radio in a more convenient place besides right in front of the base of the shifter?) That, and that back bumper sure does look like 924.....

I am pretty sure the early 944 and 924 had those stupid round side refelctors. Plus it looks like 944 review mirrors that are square and color coded. vs the more round black 924 mirrors. I can't find anything on 924 wagons, but quiet a bit is found on 944 wagons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this link: http://www.924.org/models/ShootingBrake.htm If you google "924 Shooting Brake" This is what I found. What I found was a couple websites that said it was a DP motorsport conversion based on a 944 platform, 10 were built and there are kits availble for 10 more. http://993c4s.com/cars/porsche-944-cars/po...-dp-motorsport/ http://993c4s.com/cars/porsche-944-cars/po...-dp-motorsport/ http://993c4s.com/cars/porsche-944-cars/po...-dp-motorsport/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zebm1 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 As to me or any others guessing which car is what, Draggoon has already fingered it out, long before our brains have even gotten outa 1st gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAL Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 man how do you know all these? yes Chris it is a Bugeye Sprite try this guys been around cars for a long long time. Ya just start to memorize shapes, layouts, wheels, bodylines, little details that makes that car unique and specific to that car's make and model. I figured it was a bugeye but no way to know for sure if it was modified with a different bonnet. But, the wheels said British race car all over them, and the door outline was definitely Sprite. Some take a little more work, like, "oh yeah that looks like it came from this or that manufacture, or designer." Just need to pin down the specific model. Sometimes it is, "Oh yeah, I seen one of those... what the heck was it agian?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick F40 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 OK DUDES since yall seem to prefer Moderns.... MAKE MY DAY ! looks like an Audi or has Audi influence.......is it European? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAL Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) looks like an Audi or has Audi influence.......is it European? Kind of looks like a Crossfire which would explaine the Euro look. Might be a Bentley next generation coupe. Edited July 30, 2008 by CAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick F40 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Oh yeah...it does, well the germans basically did the Crossfire, isn't it based off a Mercedes? is it an early prototype? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
