Cars and Mods

[McCohens at aol.com]

You either get lucky or learn the hard way but a modified car is not a good  
investment.  Unless you buy it already modified for a song.  I have  had both 
happen.
 
Bought a 79 924S in 2000.  Very rare bird, came stock with limited  slip, no 
ac, sunroof, manual windows and 928 disc brakes all around.   Meant to be the 
basis for SCCA racers.  Bought it with a header and serious  upgrades on the 
suspension for 1500.  Tracked it for two years and sold it  for 3500.  I got 
very lucky.
 
Bought an 80 quattro with the MC1 turbo in it.  Bald tires, NA CIS,  terrible 
exhaust for 1800.  Put bilsteins, H&R, custom exhaust, 034 EFI  and have 
about 6 into it.  Not to mention the hours or time.  Probably  lucky if I could 
get 4 grand for it now.  But... for 6 grand it is one FAST  toy!
