crogers106,

Wow - that thing is beautiful! Thanks for posting the pics!

Love the wheels. The stripe really sets them off. I also like the yellow console and roll bar.

Nice find! Did you buy it as is or did you add the wheels and console?

Enjoy,

ddb

Thanks! I've been looking for a while and when I found this one - I had to have it - classic color, loved the wheels, etc. The wheels were already on it. They gave me the original window sticker and the painted console and roll bar were on the sticker as a factory option the previous owner paid $1250 for.

Crogers106, Beautiful car !!! Nice find !!! I shared your fear about the IMS until I took the car to my INDY for it's 90 k service. He has been in business for 30+ years working on, building and racing Porsche. His customer waiting room is full of "trophies" from Porsche events. He told me that he has NEVER seen an IMS failure . This made me feel better and I drive my car every chance I get !!! Enjoy your new car !!! Max

Beautiful car! SY is definitely the best color on these cars.

I think the mantra for new owners should be "don't worry, just drive." Have fun.

Thank you all! I'm sure you're right. I still have to pinch myself each time I walk through my garage! Such a thrill to finally own one.

Ok, Ok I can't take it any longer. Will trade white for yellow. And that garage visit 19 times a day ? Will wear off a bit as time goes by. Max
