Default #15: 1980 Porsche 924 Turbo Carrera GT (82 of 406)

Since stevekat figured it out and word has gotten out, figured I might as well share some pix to get things started. I'll be picking her up from her current location in Winter Park FL on St. Patties day, and driving back home over a four day weekend 18-21 March.

The car was sitting on a very uneven portion of the dealer's lot. I was concerned about that after I took the photo and we moved it into his garage and double checked both sides. They were perfectly aligned. So it's just the grade it was sitting on in that photo.

That's hawt. I've seen two CGT's in person now and would love to see another. Are you driving up I-75 thru the Dayton, Ohio area by the way? Would be awesome to see if you have time. If not, that's cool.
