Look again.

Look again.

Why do you need another 65 off of ebay? What are you doing with the blue one?

Leave some of these for the rust of us!! Hoarder!!""

Damn - you've uncovered my plan. It's the standard evil capitalist ploy - corner the market, create a shortage, flip when the time is ripe. Then retire to Costa Rica, maybe open a little jet ski concession on the beach. If I can ever master the sell and let it go part, I've got this deal licked.
The blue car has been a pleasant surprise - a little better than expected. It's sitting in the garage, AC and front bumper removed, getting little stuff done as I collect parts. As soon as I finish up my SWT, it's on the the body shop for a bare metal redo in Rubyrot. About a year to completion.
Help with details and sources would be greatly appreciated - I don't know the '65's, and they are unique in many small ways; currently gathering data.

Funny. No Comment.

Hindsight is 20/20 but ebay would have been a wise decision to begin with... however that would have eliminated tons of fun and a locked down thread which is usually a noteworthy trophy.

Is this where the pool starts to speculate as to what it will bring?

Al Holbert attended Lehigh and according to a recent Excellence, drove a Speedster (not a 911 as stated in the Ebay listing) while there. The Speedster came into the family P store on trade.

Yeah, well I tried it with 67S's trying to be just like the Hunt bros, but you gotta sell em' and I pretty much haven't done that, or I bought another to replace the one that went out the door!

Good to hear the blue one is working out. What's up with the SWT? I have 3 of them right now in various stages, you going to start a thread on that one? you have any pics to post?
