My favorite part

"has some BBS wheels... with an offset but not sure what the offset is at"

I want some wheels with an offset, they are the ones that are super light and expensive right :roflmao:

I'd pay 5¢ for that "BBS" (BS?) Wheel.

My favorite is the close up of the hood emblem (with overspray on gasket from repaint) on this "original paint" car

Seats are the uber rare 50% sport seat option, only 1 car came that way from the factory in krylon white that year. Passenger gets a sport seat because they have nothing to hold on to, driver has a steering wheel so no sport seat. All I know is that I am now sitting on about $50K in 944's (I thought they might add up to $5K before this ad)!

In that picture, the top of the spring behind the tire, the nickel on the rim (probably used as a wheel weight) and krylon overspray on the bs rims. I think we need another car to play the next round of "what's wrong with this picture" :beerchug:

Jerry,
You have identified another of this car's RARE options. As normal 944's use torsion bars in back instead of springs as Mark suggests, This car must have the the rare bent coil spring option! (either that or he left an old piece of fuel hose on the tire!) :mrgreen:

Sorry,
I guess I don't know my front from my back (Don't say it!).

Regarding the offset, it is obviously the "nickle offset". BS, "er" I mean BBS uses it all the time!

I agree with Mark that this horse has been beat to death. Or at least that is my $.05 worth!

Who has another one we can "analyze"? :surr:

I'm guessing the oil spots on the driveway are from his other car. :wink:
