Hello,

I just wanted to introduce myself. I've been a lurker for many years, and a Porsche fan since as long as I can remember. I've always had a soft spot for air-cooled machines, the brilliant engineering behind all of Porsche's creations, and just the sheer blast of the sound of a flat six boxer and the occasional flat four! I started out with Volkswagen, from early beetles, to type 4 powered super beetles, to my 1964 1500s Variant, and my single cylinder air-cooled, a 1960 Ducati 125 Sport, to my latest acquisition, a 1968 911L.

I began my search a few years ago, and although visions of 993 C2Ses and 964 widebodies ran through my mind, I've always been a fan of the vintage steel. I began looking for a 70-72 911 S, T, or E, and than began to read more and more of the SWB cars. I think the simplicity, the pure line, and the crazy handling all seemed much to appealing to ignore. Plus, I figured it be the perfect transition from small air-cooled to larger air-cooled. So, I picked up the following car about four months ago in Michigan. It's a 68L originally Tangarine in color, resprayed polar silver about 4 years ago. The previous owner maintained the car with weekend projects here and there (the floors, carpet, brakes, etc) and, now I have the joy of continuing the weekend projects (hoses, plugs, clutch, etc.). All I have to say, is I absolutely love this car. It's a blast to drive and runs like a champ. I look forward to contributing more to this forum, and would like to thank everyone for being an excellent resource during the hunt.

Thanks,

Mauricio
