Ahhhh, not a side marker to be found!
Looks like you can see the "grafting" on the far fender wall.

Oh to be in such a happy place
Those aren’t e9 strut towers, good call.
@Tom2240 spotted it. It would be interesting to see the car up close or on a lift to check out the build.

In the 914 community, we put on a yearly "WCR" (West Coast Ramble). The same sort of event happens in the various regions around the country. It's a weekend of driving, hanging out, tech sessions, car show, dinner/awards evening, sponsor give-aways, etc.
Someone(s) steps up to do the legwork of selecting/working with a hotel, putting together drive routes, coordinating with the sponsors, getting awards...
Here's a link to our upcoming 2022 event, so you can see what's what. FYI, I'm "tygaboy" aka Chris and am hosting a BBQ on at my place for the locals and folks stopping over in Petaluma on the way up from LA.

Anyway, if there were interest, I could be arm-twisted into pulling something together for next year. I've made the awards for the past few WRC events and would be happy to do the same, should this become a thing enough of us want to attend.
Our Rocky Mountain region's event in Sept is being coordinated by Eric Shea, of PMB brakes fame. That event incudes a photo-op on the Salt Flats and a lunch/ private tour of Kindig-It Design, of Bitchin' Rides TV show fame.
Could we swing something like Sonoma Raceway parade laps, @sfdon hosted tech sessions, reserved parking/lunch at one of the boutique wineries...? With a bit of effort, we could put on a great event...
Any interest/your thoughts?

I would be very interested in an event. Retiring at the end of the year and would have time to help out next year. We have so many E9 the bay area we could really have a amazing event.
That's not an e9. It's a e9 body on a later chassis. Read about this a few years back. The rear of it looks fugly...

Regarding the meet itself, its fantastic! Akin to having an early Pony car meet in the US ;-)
Looks like they did they best they could considering there's no room back there for exhaust. It's amazing how different it looks with a straight rear valance versus a curved one. Underside photos would be nice to see.
We can do 100 coupe pictures with Photoshop. Can even put a V8 in my coupe with Photoshop.
Bad Arde- bad!
Fear not Don, I cannot do an automatic to 5-speed conversion with Photoshop...
Arde isn't invited. Oh wait, he'll just photoshop himself into the event anyway.
The back end might not be the most elegant part of the car - but I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers...That's not an e9. It's a e9 body on a later chassis. Read about this a few years back. The rear of it looks fugly...

Wow, good eyes! I would expect that S62 (presuming that's what it is) to weigh pretty much the same thing as any variant of an M30 would considering their aluminum blocks.

Tygaboy, it seems you’ve somewhat nominated yourself to start planning a coupe meet. I mentioned something like this in a thread about a week ago. I hereby second your motion!
Bavbob, and no diving board bumpers to be seen!!! Be still my heart!
