First scanned pic is of my signal orange 1970 Karmann 911T on the morning I brought it home in Jan. '05, after purchasing it from the original owner, with 249,288 miles on the clock.
Second shot is the same car earlier this year, cleverly disguised as Ruprecht, after a complete bare-metal restoration & new-spec, modified 3.0 liter, 915, Carrera suspension and a lot more......currently showing about 3500 more miles on its new odometer.

Before it became Ruprecht, my Porsche was a '70 911 T

Well, Bryan . . . according to PO#3 (recently located/contacted) . . . we're 100k km closer, now. Odo's believed to've turned once --- at least. ('ll see what PO#2 has to say.)Originally Posted by fryardds
. . . I'll bet Rick K. will have his 2.2S up in that range someday.
