Another day - another car.......This one the rare Porsche 909 Bergspyder; originally designed as a hillclimb car. You can clearly see the lead-in to the 908/3:











This car is eligible for this series, too. All you need are some modeling skills and a good chassis..........

Well, Clive, no one knows if Porsche will de-thrown Ford this year; I suspect it will be very close; even though we have a good number of Porsches in this year's field.

One way to be certain would be to enter a second car in this year's race................Hint, hint............!! You have 6 months left to the deadline, so it could be doable; time-wise, and you're headed into your Winter season anyway...............

Here's a deal for you.............I'll purchase the block of wood for you if you'll turn your considerable building skills towards a Porsche 909 Bergspyder. :banana-dance: :banana-dance: :banana-dance:

I ask you, where else are you going to find a deal like that...........?!

Here's someone who modeled it off a 908 Flunder: food for thought.................

Thanx Allan....you have a lot of confidence in me.... :text-thankyouyellow:

a second car....I don't know...I feel one is good.
I will on the other hand make a 909 Bergspyder after the Ghia is finished (+-95% done with the Ghia). :music-rockout: :music-rockout:
research must start ASAP....the regular site which I use to get the blue prints from does not have the 909...only before and after. I'll have to look some more. Once we compare the 908/3 and the 909 blue prints, we will know if the body was the same dimensions...like the info you gave above. I personally do not like sacrificing one car to build another...rather fix the one and build a new one..just my feeling.

thanx Clive

Interesting seeing a "bundle of snakes" exhaust manifold sitting on the floor under the shelves.
Wonder what it's worth.
