Garage junk... (Audi 100 gauge cluster, Supra badge & models...)

From a 1971 Audi 100 coupe...  (see images from the net below...)












Made in Germany by a company called CURSOR-MODEL...

Spent two years of my life working on the "Salsa" project in the early 1990's at GM's Advanced Concept Center...  It's a poor model (compromises to make it into a HotWheel).  The original concept has rear seats with a targa front roof and a canvas/hard removable rear top.  It had an innovative automatic motorized passenger seat belt system that I made work using modified parts from a Ford Thunderbird (bought the parts at a Long Beach junkyard...  In the process, found and bought the Porsche Mahle wheels for my 914 by accident...)

Manhattan Beach Pier -- Wednesday, June 22, 2016


Wasn't too hot (the cloud cover was good).   Went a little faster than usual.  The speed variation in the above graph is strictly due to the wind direction and speed...
