    That's a very pretty "buttoned up" Irish Green 1968 "Normale" with Chromes and hub caps....I'm guilty of not starting and driving my cars often enough as well...and I don't have as good excuse as you have had...knock on wood, Stabil and good gas has worked out OK for me...fingers crossed...

    On SBC engines guys will take an extension, mounted to a drill, and spin the oil pump from the top, which you don't hear being done on your car..

    Yeah, it's a stripped down 911 Normal. Not sure you could have gotten a cheaper version. The options list is very short on the Kardex. 4 speed, tinted windows, chrome steel wheels and nothing else. The gent who did the interior said "this car ain't got sh*t on it". He later fell in love with the simplicity and hated to see it go from his shop.

    Don’t use WD40. I’ve used fogging oil and have also used bit of Marvel mystery oil. Fresh gas and oil change also good idea. Baterry may need attention
