Congratulations on being back in an air cooled . Have my 2012 Spyder as the closest thing to modern and my '83 well "massaged" SC which is nothing short of a joy to drive

Thank You! I dont know the seller- it was consignment so its possible it was in VT!

Was not in the "nickel" Flew out of Danang and several bases in Thailand on multiple tours. No comment about Steve Ritchie

Petey... I thought the price was very reasonable for all you got in that car. Enjoy it!

So many advance to the next "better" Porsche, only to realize that what they had should have never left the barn. I was convinced to get a GT4 but never liked the advanced technology, instrumentation, electric brake, etc. Never felt quite "at home" in it. Sold and picked up an '11 RS! Nothing like a 911! Still have air cooled and smile on every drive!

Superb entry back into the air-cooled world. That car is RIGHTEOUS! Big congrats.

This car runs really well. Friends of mine owned it and traded it back and forth so it wouldn't get away.
Good luck with it. Should be a fun journey.

Awesome Thanks! She'll be in good hands. I think im more excited for this car than I was for my PTS 991 GT3 which is a great car but far from the feel of this one..

Petey daddy....congrats!!!! Myself and a handful of close friends built that car originally( my son Lawson named it Clementine). When you get the carbs in synch it's an absolute monster and fun to drive. If you have any questions feel free to reach out .

The beauty of the Weber's is that there is an art to tuning them. The more you learn the better you get and there is no one perfect solution for all conditions and all driving scenarios. There was a great article in R&T of all places about them about a year or so ago.

Have fun with it.
