New Member Intro and search for old family cars...

[PDT911]

Hi everyone, I'm Paul and this is my first post here so thought I'd briefly introduce myself. Thanks largely to my grandfather who was a Porsche nut himself, I've been obsessed with Porsche's my entire life. My father and I restored a 65 356SC that was my grandfathers after he passed away (many many years ago) and I'm fortunate enough to still have that and another 356 of his today. Now that I'm a couple decades older I've dipped my toe into the newer water-cooled 911's and Caymans (which I think are fantastic btw) but my heart has always been with the early 911's and the time has finally come when I have the garage space to acquire one (sadly this didn't happen a few years back before the market took off, but such is life!). Digging through some old paperwork, I found the VIN's of some 911's that were once owned by my grandfather and though I realize the chances of finding them (AND being for sale no less) are quite slim, I thought I'd post them here anyway in case the proverbial needle in a haystack might be uncovered. So with that said, here they are:

72 911T 9112102921
71 911T 9111112614
62 356 89792 (ok, not a 911 but would still love to find it)
I know there was a red 70 911S too that I have pics of, but sadly can't find the VIN!

Anyway, hopefully in the not too distant future I'll be posting here as an early 911 owner, but until then I have a lot of reading and research to do to get up to speed on things. I feel like at one point in my life I knew a lot about these cars but then fast forward a few decades of work and not enough hobby time and it's amazing what one forgets! Thanks for listening, hope to meet some of you at events in the future.

Welcome. I suppose you did this, but in the event you didn't... I did a quick search here, but no returns on either VIN. Good luck with your search.

Thanks guys, appreciate the welcome. Not the best shot, but this is my Cayman S and C4S...I don't have any shots of the 356's on this comp but ill get some up this weekend.

I didn't find anything on the second one though.

Thanks tomster. Yes, I saw that a few months after it sold...and learned that it lived 15 miles from me for the better part of it's life and i never knew!! Ugh! Tried contacting the new owner through the dealer that sold it but no response. I now have google alerts set up...hope to some day reunite.

Jeez, I guess I abandoned this thread without posting more pics!! Here's the current line up (minus a 65 SC not in the pic).
