But it's a very nice car. He says he's about to put it on eBay. I said "hey you might be surprised what you fetch for it, the long hoods have been on the rise especially the S models."

So the next day I stopped by a local autocross just to watch and I spot a really nice 73 RS replica (I believe), and start talking to the owner. It turns out this guy is really into early 911's. So I tell the guy about the 71 about to go up for sale. He seems interested, we exchange cards. He calls me the next morning looking for more info on the car. I lead him to it.

This past Saturday I stop in for hotdogs and ask about the 911. He tells me the dude picked up the car for $18k I'm leaving names out. For all I know the new owner may be a regular on here. And I'm in no way mad at him. But holy crap, If I had any clue this car could have been had for less than $20k I would have been all over it. I guess ya snooze ya lose. The hotdog stand owner bought an '06 Carrera S Cab. He's happy.
