Center of rear hub is 1.37m or 4’6”. A roll around seat and it’s fine. I was sick of axle stands. Just trying to get it up on them was a pain, and always nervous something would slip while jacking it up.

Nice! My brother had a 67 912 in similar condition, lower miles, but with a clapped out engine--he got a visible smoke citation and couldn't register it in Nevada. It was otherwise a lovely example, so he did a high end rebuild that cost about $10 grand, drove it as a hobby car for a while and then sold it to a collector for $20 grand. I wish I'd gotten to drive it after the new engine was installed!
