    Is this COOL or a CRIME?

    I received one of those phone calls where the guy goes, "don't you like dem old cars?"

    He proceeds to tell me he has a PORCH for sale. I ask, "What kind? Front, side, rear?" He didn't get the joke. His reply, "One of dem old turtle lookin' tings." Now my interest is peaked.

    Turns out it was an early 912 with the engine disassembled and stored in multiple buckets of oil. The car is largely rust free and it cost $1,000 and everything seems to be there.

    Here's the question... Look at that interior! At first I could not wait to remove it, all button tuck felt that it is... Now I'm not so sure... Lovin' the crystal disco ball window cranks!

    Please give me your opinions.

    All the best,
    Ben
