    Fantastic! After seeing the title I installed myself on the couch with my iPad to enjoy the story. A matching numbers 901 is the ultimate find in my opinion. Enjoy the ride!

    Porsche guy's Lotto win. Congrats!

    If I ever need a gatekeeper for a secret I will know who to call. Perseverance and patience pay off.

    Fantastic story.

    1 of 21 or 1 of 85... Gives hope that other examples are out there, squirreled away in the backs of garages

    Thanks for sharing

    Congratulations on a great find.

    What do you know of the story from the US serviceman's ownership to the present ?

    Did you have any idea how long its been sitting in MO. and in that state of repair ?

    Was the transmission what finally put it here to rest ?

    We await the mysteries of the story..... which is always good reading !
    Best Regards,
