    Wow Sam! Central location, location, location.

    I can't wait to see your car in the press; the TV shows, the mags, the web sites...

    Sam- thats a great acknowledgment of the project you put together. Now if there is more people around your car than a new one ; maybe the factory will take note and someday come out with a retro early 911. Will see if the trend continues with a 69 911 next year and a 2.2 liter car the year after that. Chris R- gruppe #144

    Nice....

    nice reward to all the blood, sweat, tears, restoration issues, and ($$$) you have performed on your car to get it to where it is, Sam.

    Damn, Sithot's 67 got loaded on the bottom.

    Shawn.

    More poor judgment by Porsche. They are most likely going to lose sales when potential new car buyers see your 67 sex exuding screamer next to the almost idiot proof Jap-robotic sport sedans they build now. Sam, they could even take some color hints from your Polo red and realize that guards red never held a candle to the colors they offered back in the day. Kudos.

    By the way, why has it taken Jay Leno with all his money and his vintage sports car knowledge this long to wake up and decide to buy his first early 911? It seems just another sign that we slowly but surely moving into the gold rush of the early 911's boys. Hold on to what you have because you may not be able to afford it when you wake up and want to replace the one you had.

    Wow, It seems that someone within Porsche has a brain. ( or the LA Auto Show staff?) Porsche is showing where it came from. I will bet that the 67S will steal the show from the automated stuff.
    They also knew how to place the car correctly........
