    Our plan is to make it structurally sound, mechanically restore it and drive it as it is. I do not have pics of the washed but she cleaned up nicely.

    GREAT story about the paper BAG !!!

    reminded me about the coke bottle Dad said the dealer located in the passenger door of his new ' 60 Ford Galaxie , when he brought it in complaining about a chronic rattle. They presented him the evidence and " no charge " was applied to the bottom of the service ticket when he picked it up at the Ford garage.

    By the way, when the paper bag signer you mention had loss of ' recall ' , do you think if mention of a small gift of money and a new mink for his wife would have changed his memory ?

    Our 58 Super. 40,000 original miles, last on the road in 1974. All numbers match, original paint, interior, top and tires. The cooolest thing is all the options listed on the C of A are still on the car including seatbelts, coco mats, Michelin X tires, etc. The downfall is the floors need to be replaced after living in the Midwest it's entire life. Our plan is to make it structurally sound, mechanically restore it and drive it as it is. I do not have pics of the washed but she cleaned up nicely.

    Ahhhh the sixties... I envision myself one early Saturday morning wearing plaid shorts, black shoes with white socks smoking a cigarette heading to the hardware store to buy a bag of nails.
    SWB cars are an acquired taste however once acquired theirs no turning back.

    Wow, nice cars!

    Russ, I had the exact same 21 Window bus back in the early seventies. Rock 'n' roll!

    Uli, I had the exact same color BMW 1600-2 back then too! Just amazing.

    1973 911S with 26,000 original miles that I found in Montreal. Tangerine with factory R stripes. Factory fresh everything including an 80 percent limited slip differential. Perfect car in every way. I should have kept this one (amoung others that I passed along over the years).

    Holy cr@p, Jens! That was yours?

    I still remember this car. Saw it 1st at GAF/Ventura '04, then again at the Palo Verde Concours, later that summer/fall

    Finding/buying such a beasty is one thing . . . .

    . . . . but (--- gulp) . . . . flipping it?

    (I'm assuming you made bank on this one, so . . .)

    Where's it now?

    VIN = 9113301416

    Hey Rick, that's me and Heidi driving that little beauty! I had the rare privilege of putting quite a few miles on what well and truly is a brand new Early S. Wonderful car. I imported it and quickly sold it to Eade who kept it for a couple of years and sold it to a group back in Canada somewhere. I helped make that deal too, it was several years ago now, but it fetched $175K. High watermark for an 911S at the time, I think. I have a cool video here somewhere of blasting it up Smugglers Notch, VT.
