Default the Used Porsche Story

After reading here about Zimmermans book, I was really happy to learn there were some tips on how to buy/not buy one of these things. I attempted to order from Pelican and they were out of stock. Same with Performance. Amazon wanted $54. Got lucky with Ebay. Happy to be able to add this to my Porsche boxer engine type collection. I think with the Porsche factory manuals (6), Bentley manual, Bosh/Bentley, CIS/Pennington, Dempsey(2), Anderson, the full set of up-fixin der Porsche, and not to mention the CD(2), I am on my way to having a fair reference library.
So here is the Point/Question for the above.
What am I missing (hopefully nothing) that is important, relating to the mechanical aspects of the 911.

I have never seen a question go un-answered here. Alot of guys don't post the resolution to the problems they have encountered, but every question asked with proper background and relivant info gets answered. ask about a 915 and Pete's got it. Ask about your suspention and Steve can handle it. Any authentisity question about any era car and Dan knows his stuff. Ask me about Hemochromatosis and I can iron out the details.



I never said I could spell.

$54????? I don't think so. Must be the wrong edition you looked up. Right now you can get the 8th edition for 24.95 new from amazon.com

And now for the link

Amazon lists it for 24.99 and then when i got to check out it was $30 more than listed. Maybe I cant read or follow directions but that did happen today and i reread it several times. The good news is that the book is on its way
