Need the Membership's Help with a Literature Project
All,
As you know, our friend Charlie White has been battling health issues the last couple of years. You also know that he is the author of many fine books dedicated to our 356's (content!). Charlie contacted me last year and asked that I help him finish his latest, and last book which is a literature book dedicated to early 911/912, sister to his 356 literature book. It is now 99.999% finished but we need juts ONE MORE item: The inside pages of the 1971 Model Year Price list as shown below: "MY 1971 September 1970 W 36-040-0970-0801"
All we have is the cover, but to keep the layout of the book consistent we need scans of the inside pages. The price list was printed in September of 1970 for model year 1971: "MY 1971 September 1970 W 36-040-0970-0801"
Does anyone have this? If so can you let me know? All we need are good scans of the pages showing the prices. Your reward will be a mention in his book and I'll also buy you a copy that Charlie will autograph.
The need is urgent as I am trying to get this to the printer in time for the LA Lit Meet in March, so time is short--any help/leads are greatly appreciated.
Mods: we are trying to help a longtime member of the Registry with his last project, if you could let this stay in the Main Discussion Forum for a while, that would be great.

Have you tried contacting Roy Lock, Sebastian? He has a treasure trove of useful historical material.

Re: Need the Membership's Help with a Literature Project
Hi Jeff, thanks for the suggestion. Roy has quite a bit of technical information, but not so much literature. I will ask him but in the meantime if anybody – anybody at all – has this the help will be greatly appreciated!

Roy has burned threw 2 scanners in the last couple of years scanning rare lit. I got all my 904 lit from him, and you can't beat the price, FREE!Sebastian Gaeta wrote:Hi Jeff, thanks for the suggestion. Roy has quite a bit of technical information, but not so much literature.

Yes, Roy and I collaborate on stuff as well and there is no one more generous than him (except maybe you ) and I will contact him tonight, but I need the call to stay out there that this is still needed and if anyone--anyone at all-has it and can help, it is greatly appreciated.
I am just trying to get Charlie's book done for him so it will be available at the lit meet and the clock is ticking......

Too bad Milo (on the S Reg) sold all his lit, I bet he had a copy.

I have the English version of this price list. I combined scans of the front and the back into one image. See below.

Brad, if you could send me a good scan of the inside pages showing prices, I will be forever in your debt (plus you get your name in the credits of another book!). But it needs to be the 1971 model year price book: "MY 1971 September 1970 W 36-040-0970-0801"

Re: Need the Membership's Help with a Literature Project
Wow, big mistake! The book I have is the main book with only photos. I do not have the price book that goes with it. I mistakenly pasted a scan of the back page of my book to the front page of the photo you posted above.
Below is a photo of the front of the book I have. First page shows M-102 914 heated rear window; last page show M-650 sliding roof.
Sorry, to get your hopes up.

Re: Need the Membership's Help with a Literature Project
Brad, there are people who would (and should) take some grief from that mistake, and you ain't one of them. Hope things are well with you and yours and hope to get a chance to see you at the Lit Meet.Brad Ripley wrote:Wow, big mistake! The book I have is the main book with only photos.

And added by edit: Charlie, get well soon. Like now.

Re: Need the Membership's Help with a Literature Project
Sebastian. I would post this request on the early 911S forum. It gets tons more participation than this one.

Re: Need the Membership's Help with a Literature Project
Hi guys, thanks for the kind words. I've had a few health issues, so I have not kept up with the forum.
I may have a lead on the manual. There is a local friend who has an early 914/6. So, I will contact him for you.

Re: Need the Membership's Help with a Literature Project
Thanks Frank, any help is greatly appreciated. Right now it looks like Charlie may not make it but I will be manning his booth for him, that is if I can get this info in time to get the book printed!
