1973 Sepia 911S

[Sepia911S]

Hello, I am a new member to the 911S Registry and just beginning to learn about all things Porsche. I have a 1973 911S in sepia that is in original condition. Much to my surprise at the 2010 Porsche Parade, the car won first place in its class and first place in its division. At the 2011 Porsche Parade, the car won first place in its class and third place in its division. The car is a joy to drive and to share with others. I have many questions I hope to post. I just want to make new friends, take really good care of this special car, and enjoy this adventure.

Hi Candyce,
Brian Fryar was telling me about your car when he saw it at the parade last year. It sounded like a very special car. Glad to see you here.

When you get time, please tell us more.

Hi Candyce!

We met at Parade around your car. I was the guy with the 'Early 911S Registry' t shirt on...

Glad to see you show up on this site. Your car and its story are very special.

Congrats on the Parade results as well.

Welcome!

Hi Candyce, glad to see you have joined up, I think you'll learn a lot about your special car here. I enjoyed meeting you again at Savannah, and as I told you, you're doing a great job with that car. I think you should tell everyone your story, .......but that is up to you.

Thanks for the advice and the help. I was able to purchase the Brad Penn oil locally.

Where can I purchase reasonably priced carpet for a '73 911S? 99% of the carpet in my car is in original, exceptional condition; however, there is one wear spot (patina) where the driver rests her foot. It annoys me to no end that at local cruise nights and concourses that I always get dinged and loose points because of that one spot. So, I am going to purchase four new pieces of carpeting for cruise nights and keep the original carpet for Parade and preservation venues where it is not an issue. The new carpet just needs to look good. I don't understand why the original carpeting is so underappreciated.

Thanks for the advice!

The story of the Sepia 911S is a great story and it is my story. I was going to publish it on the 911S Registry. Since the story was published in Panorama, I had questions about copywrite infringement. John Dilger contacted me and asked me to wait and not post it online just yet. Possibly, it will be published in Esses.

So, I will share a new story. For 30 years, I attended all the major races at Road America. I just love Road America, Elkhart Lake, and Siebkens. My favorite race is the historic race in July. This year, I entered the Road and Track Concours and was very excited about the whole experience. My sister, Kathy, and I were cleaning the car in a parking lot. While I was cleaning the wheels, Kathy had wrapped masking tape around her hand and was cleaning the dust and lint off the carpeting. I reminded her, "Don't forget to clean the trunk." A while later, I looked up and Kathy was cleaning the engine with masking tape. I yelled, "Kathy, what are you doing?" A bit annoyed, she replied, "I am cleaning the trunk!"
