COPART SHOPPING WITH TAVARISH! 🇺🇸

Check out the auction action @ Copart 👉 www.copart.com/doRegistration...
During a recent trip to the States, I met up with my old friend Freddy ‪@tavarish‬ to experience my first ever ‪@CopartTV‬ parking lot walk-round - something I've wanted to do for a very long time. We both trawled the vast Florida site, where you can find all manner of impressive machinery if you look hard enough.
Now Freddy is no stranger to a restoration project, and with his eagle eyes he can spot a deal
from a mile away. He looks at bent metal and sees either an opportunity, or something to
avoid at all costs, and that’s the difference between making a profit or having an expensive
hobby. The only slight problem is... we both seem to have the same taste in cars!
We both fell in love with a manual Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640, as well as a damaged '89 Porsche 911 Cabriolet that looks like it has a LOT of potential. Would you like to see me take on a challenge like this next? Should I have a dedicated America-based project car? Decisions, decisions...🤔
You can check out Tavarish's version of events on his ‪@2varish‬ channel here: • I Found A FAKE Lamborg...

That isn't a 964 speedster - it's a G series 911 3.2 Series, which was the first speedster since 50's. It is a very rare car and well worthy of the attention your giving it.

@brianh3987 19 күн бұрын

Finally! Someone who knows their Porsche stuff. Not a 930, not a 964. It an '89 Speedster built with steel 930 front and rear flares. Likely the tire mismatch was because that was the only size available at the time for the 245 16's because for years nobody was making them. Fix the Speedster!
