POLO 4 cylinder 911 engine and 1967 912 almost done

Hi Chris,

Fellow Polo 912 owner here - just sent you a PM.

Talked to Swindon about the 4 valve heads. $37,000 each for a 6 kit run or $33,000 for a 12 kit run. Unless I win a lottery it’s unlikely to ever happen. I don’t suspect I’ll find 5 or 11 others to order a kit.
A 25% boost in power and an 8500 to 9000 redline sounds glorious. Probably could get these numbers with Extreme heads and some other upgrades. But the "it's never been done NA since the 50's and 60's Carreras" is my Achilles heel. Anyone have a spare 250K to cover the 6 kit order? Plus shipping, plus custom induction costs?

It looks like 300K page views will happen soon. It's beyond anything I could ever have imagined. I wonder who the interested folks are.

[Chris Pomares]

WOW! 300K views. Thanks for the interest.

There might be a black 912 POLO coming up for sale in the near future.

I checked out the pics of that blue rally build.
Amazing!

Info on this POLO car for sell will be available a little later. It's VERY nice.

I'm headed to a 3 day automotive car event today. I'm giving myself an extra day today to throw in an extra mountain pass or two before the event. Tomorrow Dave DiMaria (owner of Vintage Car Works) and I will do a mixed car lunch run to Steamboat Springs. My car is usually the oldest car on the drive. We hit 120 last time, Lots of newer Corvettes, an all makes of Euro. For them 120 is nothing. For me it feels like 150. The weather looks good. Mid to high 60's and mostly sunny. I hope all of you have a great weekend in your part of the world.

Here are a couple pictures under the 69 POLO aluminum hood and decklid in the rough. I'll post again when this stuff is mostly finished.
