The pictures on the lead page are of the Kinsler intake system. It has a twin turbo system on it now that used the modified Kinsler base.

what more specific info would you like? PHR did a complete front to back, beginning to end buildup on the car. Just about every aspect of the intial build was covered in detail. Most of the members here have those issues, and could referecnce anything you need. The PHR build was done with a different intake setup and no turbos. But was still awsome, and made about 600 hp. It now makes, or is capable of over 1100hp. the owner is also a poster and member of the site, and is a super nice guy and probably will answer your questions as soon as he sees them.

I have been emailing Ken. Does anybody have a link to pics of Elmer Millikens old convert to show Ken ?.....Tony...No more Provair ? Now a Pro Vw ?

[TonyL]

See? how cool is charley?

provair sits, ready to finish in the corner of my dads shop. It's "supposed" to be finished this year for my brothers son to drive to high school. Almost all of the parts are done, exept for the turbo/fuel injection system because he ( the son) wont be ready for that. The pro bug is for my son. Should be finished next summer.

as for the pic.....

[TonyL]

sure its ok. look at my car. We here at PT.com are car lovers. If its cool, older and goes faster than new performance cars, we like it. There are many non US cars on the site.

[Bill Howell]

To be honest Ken I think it qaualifies as pro-tour anyway.
lets see:
1)straight line performance-check : :drive:
2)cornering-double check :spank2:
3)creature conforts- may not have a cup holder but..-check :icon996:
4)look good-need I answer this one :drool:
5) four wide tires-ya think :headbang:
6) turboed?yes,2

Yes it is truely P-T maybe one of the best factory P-T you can buy :1st:


How much?

as for my car, thanks for considering it worthy for this forum.
it is after all only a 6 cylinder, but does have a nice 6 speed to go along w/it

[camcojb]

A 993 TT is beyond cool. Welcome to the site Ken.

Hey...

Does anyone know the name/shade of that silver on the '69 Mule...

I really like it and have been looking at various shades trying to determine which silver to use on my '68...

Thanks,
TIM

Tim,

I believe the name is Silbersee, and it was an Audi color.

Very nice Porsche! Here is my non-US car, only a 4cyl /5spd, but SOOOO much fun to drive.

does anyone know if the original Kinsler intake on the mule would fit under the stock cowl hood while also using some sort of air cleaner??

Yes, it had a custom air filter box built that fit under the GM cowl hood.

I could probably piece back together the system and sell it.

[ProdigyCustoms]

Charlie is selling everything to raise money for that bus, LOL!

[DeepBlue68]

What's the deal with that thing? No offense, I guess I just don't understand what is so cool about it that he'd sell some of the amazingly bad a** cars he has. Obviously it's a huge collector's item, but would you really want to drive something like that around?

[Charley Lillard]

Ha ! There is no big deal about the bus except it is a really cool part of GM history and has a retro look that would look awsome in my barn. I can't drive all the cars at once so I thought I would sell something. I'm no longer as hooked on the bus as i was. I listed my 32 Ford on Ebay and then drove the car again. Then I pulled it off Ebay because I realized just how much fun the car was.

the real truth be told charlie, as a kid you wanted to be a bus driver..now you're wanting to live your childhood dreams..you think it's more obtainable than your rocket scientist fantasy

[Charley Lillard]

I rode the little bus to school.......

[Bill Howell]

I rode the little bus to school.......

I thought it was the "short" bus. :lmao:

Is the 32 the one I saw? If so, it has quite a "history" too, you can not sell that one. :spank2:

[ProdigyCustoms]

The bus is cool!

I don't think it qualifies...it doesn't have TT II's!! It's not even a 69 Camaro for heaven's sake! :rtfm:

[ItsA68]

Charlie,

I'm planning to get the same or similar Kinsler setup as what you had/have on the Mule...If you have the parts to the air box, and we thing it'll fit, I'd be interested. Could save me a bunch of work! Lemme know.

Thanks,
