I love them also...biggest PLUS is the "exotic" style and almost bulletproof drivetrain ( I had more than what I pictured and literally had ZERO breakdowns of any kind ) The Lingenfleter routinely broke something in the drivetrain when racing and the other Corvettes (Midyears) were never tracked. The M3 (and an SL55 AMG car) were both cruisers that the Wife and I enjoyed around town, and I had no issues with them either.

The thing that got me with the Boxster was that it can serve the same purpose as the M3 and SL55 at literally half the cost...so if it sits around for months on end without use it's no concern.

I already have one regret: I should have not been so impulsive and paid a little more for a 2003+ S model...

Hi OKC, welcome to the forum. Nice cars & pic's! I drove several 2002 Vettes & Vipers & Porsches before realizing the Boxster S was the funnest of the bunch. Especially here in the big city where you have constant traffic to deal with. I was tired of restoring rusty old muscle cars. I don't see me going down that road again, but I always wanted a mid '60s Stingray, preferably a 67 roadster. What engine is the L79 ? I think it's a small block. Love to see pic's of this project. Last question, whats shooter in OKCshooter?

The L79 is a documented car with under 50K miles. I found it in a barn in Kansas where it had sat since 1981. It's undergoing a full restoration.

It is a factory White/Red car. L79 is highest horse 327 motor. It also has RARE factory A/C and it the only known White/Red convertible 4 speed AC car ever known to be made in 1967. It will be sold as soon as restoration is over...

The "shooter" in my screenname comes from my other hobby...Guns. I especially like Class III weapons and have a few. I would post pics but not sure if there are issues with gun pics on this forum?

So L79 is a 350 HP 327?

I asked about your screenname because my neighbor is a competition shooter & has a CNC machine in his garage he uses to make custom parts for competitions.

I have a H&K Benilli M1 Super 90, it's still stock thou.

Yes, the L79 is the 350hp 327ci motor...I've owned an LS5 (454 Corvette) and I like the high strung small blocks better than the Rat Motors (although the BB Midyears bring more money)

I've done IDPA and some USPCA shooting, but really just for fun. the suppressed stuff is just fun to shoot and in Oklahoma, it is legal to hunt suppressed.

My favorites are my SBR Silenced UZI and integrally silenced MKII although I also have a Noveske SBR AR15 that is silenced and others...once you shoot silenced you'll never go back.
