    That Aubergine car is really interesting . . . Tourist Delivery, no 'S' deco, and brown leather

    The '72 is less than $20k?

    . . . and both are MFI cars

    I'm with Rick on the '73... love Aubergine! Wonder about the video of it running, though.

    It sounds pretty good and seems to be smooth, but why is the oil pressure light flashing?

    And with several roached Targa projects in the $10K range available, the '72 (if dry) is priced attractively.

    I haven't seen the video but the "flashing Oil light" is probably the E brake warning light. Is it red? That light has freaked out many new driver/owners of 911s, not familiar with their confusing instruments.

    Regards

    Jim
    PS: 73 911s with "S gauges" do not have a oil pressure light.

    My bad, Jim... the flashing got me. E brake lights on my earlier cars are yellow and don't flash.
