Thanks for looking. I need to detail the interior and the inside the front compartment, the sunroof needs rebuilt it slips some. I would like to get the wheels refinished and then just little things.

Thanks I plan to little concerned about insurance. Not sure how much I should have. I have it insured for $35,000 not sure if too much or not enough.

Blood in the water.

Double your coverage and tack on a bit more just to be on the safe side.

Always interested in the back story. Why have you not been using the car after owning for so long? Just curious.

Great looking car! Welcome.

Hello Frank, Thanks for the infomation.

I bought the car for my son's high school graduation present. Not a good ideal by the way. He drove the car for about 6 months and lost his license. So the car was parked. He went to school,got married needed money so I bought the car from him. I wasn't a Porsche guy at the time but I did love old cars and love to drag race. Still do. I have always been a blue oval fan and have several Fords that took all my time and money. Now that I am retired I have more time to spend working on them and driving and racing.
I will give the car back to my son, but right now his family and career are very demanding of his time. I will continue to improve the car so that when he gets it back it will be in great shape.

If you wanna insure it in case it you need to repair it, I would say $100k. If you want to insure it in case it is stolen? I would say AT LEAST $150k.

Great story. At least he didn't crash it. (You'll have to provide color in the future. Like when your son is old enough to laugh at his boyhood antics).
I think you will be very glad that you decided to keep it in the family.
