He loved you.. he quoted me a price of $12K. I didn't haggle with him at all..he was astonished. I told him I was merciles with used car salesmen but generous with engineers. I got many improvements before I picked the car up courtesy of my friend...WHAT a classy guy. I am totally new to this communication format.. what is a thread? SHOE He was working on another 510 for racing...ka24de with turbo, totally reworked suspension, flawless robins egg blue body. it was embryonic when he died..his executor offered it to me for $20K............I countered $8K. I thought Bryan Feldman got it. Wonder where it is.SHOE

I have a Turbo Tom car I bought directly from him many years ago. I made him sign the air cleaner as part of the deal. It is a 71 510 with a 2.2 naps z turbocharged fuel injected (injectors from Porsche 944 turbo). The setup is typical for his philosophy.. build the motor for torque, add the turbo for horsepower in the upper ranges. The motor is rough and brutal. I have made many refinements to the car and now it is my daily driver. My other 510s have been put to use by my sons. The Turbo is King! I would occasionally hear from Tom when he'd come to southwest GA, usually because of his addiction to flying. I was very sad to hear of his untimely death. I feel extremely lucky to have the opportunity to drive a piece of 510 history.
