Took my 65SC out the other day, still runs great.

Beautiful! And you are winding that engine up! Is that a standard wheel made into a Carrera 2 wheel? (Don’t see a seam for the 9 segments, but it could be the framing)
Great color combination too.
No wonder Porsche enthusiasts were disappointed by the new 911’s compared to the 356’s - not only were they heavier and less sporty (until the 67S) but not nearly as elegant like the dash.
Funny story... I was driving it from a storage facility in downtown SF and had to go through the rough tenderloin area where there is two blocks of homeless. (Yes, LiveFromNY, there is homeless in downtown SF). I received at least 4 “I love that car” shouts from the homeless, plus a guy in a wheelchair yelling out “is that a ‘59?” Which it is. But it would take a really keen eye to tell it from a 1958.
So, LiveFromNy, while SF does have its issues, and Austin is indeed an amazing city, Austin doesn’t have the scenery to compare to the best outside SF! Tomorrow the redwoods...or maybe Yosemite...? Perhaps Pebble or Napa... hmmm?
Teasing! Austin is great and I just watched a Willy Nelson concert there on PBS that made me jealous!
Rower, thanks. The steering wheel is an LL that came with a T5 Roadster I had years ago. Sold the car but kept the wheel. I also had a black/red 59 normal coupe that was my daily driver for decades. Your car brings back memories.
Over here now... better fit

They are charming.
