    I found the best, the only, unobtainium for only $65

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-Towe...#ht_500wt_1180

    Am I nuts or is it the seller?

    My Inspiration

    '86 44 Turbo, black/red,7's and 8's fuchs, autothority - sold (rocketship)
    '97 Boxster, first delivered in DC Metro, silver/red -sold (huge mistake to buy this one)
    '99 C2, silver/black, RoW M030, limited lip, short shift - sold (good ride, but...)

    '69 912, 3.2 with all the trimmings
    (finally got air cooled)

    I don't know. We will have to see if someone bites on it.
    I bought 10 or a dozen from Stoddard's some 20 years ago. So I do not have to bid.

    Careful, I think these are being made by Porsche Classic. They were giving them away at last year's Goodwood Revival.

    I believe these are part 99990102240 "polishing cloth" in which case they are made by Porsche Classic and are only 3 dollars from Jim Ellis.

    I bought them about 8 years ago "for nothing" from a US source.
    Maybe Porsche Classic now sells them too.

    Porsche Classic was giving these away at the Parade in Savannah last summer.

    You can still pick these up from Stoddard (even with the made in Germany sticker).
    My wife gave me a bundle of them for Christmas in 2010.
    Crazy pricing.
