Congrats! You will love it - I am addicted to my longhood. Nothing like these early cars.

Nice pickup. Looks like there was an issue with the auction, you got outbid and then RNM. Glad you seem to have worked it out with the seller separately. I thought that usually was reserved for the high bidder (carguy).

Well done! Enjoy in good health. And you know you don't really own it, right? You're just taking care of it for the little man in the stroller.

Thanks everyone! Been keeping busy. Doing some minor refresh items on the car. The engine & interior are in pristine condition. I’m planning a paint correction next month.

In the meantime. I installed new weatherstripping for the bonnet.






In transit items:

Rennline mechanical hood shocks
Momo steering wheel + AASE leather Porsche crest horn button
Coco mats
Decklid gaskets
Period correct Porsche crest (currently has g-body crest)

Just saw this. How long is the meet? I’m about 90 minutes east so I probably missed the boat. Let me know when the next EASY meet is. We’d love to go! 🍻
