Default OT: Road and Track Reprints

I also posted this in the 993 forum.

This afternoon while sitting in my office one of my employees walked in an handed me a packet of Road & Track Reprints. A friend of his had just passed away and the wife was wondering what to do with them. My employee had known his friend was interested in cars and maybe had owned a sports car once, but did not know the extent of his interest. The "find" laid on my desk indicates that he was a true P-Car guy.

I've listed all of the reprints, I've just begun to go through them, I want to get them under plastic as soon as possible. These are all in first class condition.

I was keenly interested in the prices and look to slowly reading the write ups done by Road and Track over 50 years ago. I hope you enjoy the list.

Nice find! I recently bought the Jan 1960 issue on ebay, which had a 1960 356 coupe on the cover (only cost about $6 BTW).
