    They are still out there

    Thought I would share this with you guys. The Porsche Gods have smiled on me this time in a big way. Keep in mind I was not looking to buy another car but when I found this I could not walk away. I have managed to buy a 25k original mile 69 S Coupe from the original owner's grandson in pristine condition. The car is all original. She has no options except a radio. It has all books, tools, ect. I am thrilled to find this car! It is encouraging to find an S like this. It makes the treasure hunt worth the effort. We need to keep looking, there must be more. Just thought you would like to hear of another uncovered. I do not remember ever seeing any with miles this low. Does anyone else know of another? Pictures to follow soon.

    Best,

    Don

    Sounds like a great find. I look forward to seeing the pictures. How did you come across this car? Did the grandson know what he had or was it a steal?

    Somehow, I think this had a lot more to do with effort, then anybody smiling down on you Don! And it just happens to match the RS .... OK, maybe somebody was smiling.

    Great find Don

    Please post some pictures so I can compare it with the 240,000 mile 69S that I have just bought, hopefully for much less money

    Don,

    How sweet is that! Nice job, great find.

    Rob,

    Now both you and Don are my heros. We can't see photos of Don's car until you promise to post photos of the Signal Yellow '70S you just scored.

    Totally off topic, but it reminded me of a funny tale. A small Timber town, Sweet Home, Oregon. The "greens" were moving in, trying to run out the timber firms. One of their statements was that the timber industry made no significant contribution to the local economy. A mill owner paid all his employees in CASH...$2.00 bills! I don't know if the local banks ever fogave him for the flood of $2.00 bills they had to handle as the merchants began making their daily deposits. Point made! (edit) To keep this on topic...thanks for your post Frank. I think you just added to my case with Leland-West that the stated value on my car should be, er, slightly above the high of $37,000 that it's currently covered for...that WAS as high as they said they'd go...if it doesn't change, I'll be looking into a different carrier...
