    No rest for the wicked!

    It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Had to work a Saturday because a transporter was dropping off two cars, a 67S and a 67 Normale. The S came off no problem, the normale had a flat, so there I was, 20 feet in the air changing the wheel, did I mention it was -2 outside, so I'm guessing a windchill of about -20.
    Sunday was better, barn fresh, 1 owner 69E, parked in 1972, heavily optioned, everything from sport seats to limited slip gearbox, and a file folder an inch thick. Cool stuff like the original title signed by Porsche, he picked the car up from the Factory, or service slips from Glocker. A very cool car. So even though I had to work all weekend, it was worth it, Monday, back to the grind, and we are getting a foot of snow, yeah!

    Adam has mystic like powers when it comes to unearthing cool cars. He should be searching for Spanish galleons. Old Porsches are chicken feed.

    John, nothing mystic, just the old dog and the bone.

    The story of all three cars mentioned will be in upcoming issues of ESSES.

    Turns out it is a 70E, so it was on the road for less than 2 years. Doing the research on the car now.
