30 years with #1099
Tomorrow, Feb. 11th, I’ll have my ’73S for 30 years… and what a time it’s been
I’m posting this today because I’m meeting my family for a full day at Disney’s California Adventure tomorrow and I’m not sure if I’ll be too toasted to post when I get home………
I posted some of this stuff before but…
- The ad in the Valley Recycler I picked up at 6:30am and called on when I got to work (no cell phones back then)
I learned later that the engine did not have a rebuild, but the top end was done at 55K.
The ‘new alloys’ were repops…
However, the car had tinted windows, and sports seats. And later I learned it had LSD. And later I learned they all came original to car.
- The day I brought it home…

Congrats Chuck! It’s lasted longer (much) than most marriages :) Thanks for all your hard work here too!

11 months after I bought it I had a left front fender bender. That pushed me over the edge to do the body and paint.
In Nov. of ’89 an ‘engine in/suspension on complete’ body and full Glasso 2 stage w/seals and gaskets was a little over $4000 !!! …

Congratulations Chuck. Great car with a wonderful personal history.

After 7 years I bought a real duck tail, had it massaged and matched painted, and it was on the car for the next 21…
- The unlikely exemplar ‘73S at the Monterey ‘Year of the Porsche’ 1998… a long story... :D
- I’ve tried to track the car a least once a year every year I’ve owned… This year it might be 3 times…. ;)

I can talk and talk about the car … over 1/4 million miles on the chassis/ over 95000 miles on the '2003 2.7 rebuild..
However, it's really been all about the people I've met along the way … TOO many to list, or remember, but it's really the people for sure... :)
So here's one I LOVE, I've posted it before, this is a pic of my Grandniece Kelsey at about 4…. :D
Faster Uncle Chuck !!!!!
She’s one of the crew I’ll be meeting tomorrow at Disneyland…
She's now a lovely almost 17 year old... :eek: ;)
… and so it goes
Cheers and here's to many more adventures to come,
Chuck
