Sorry, I don't mean to nit pick. Car is very clean. Did you fix the trans or axle problem?
The main problem was just some snapped cv axle bolts - pretty easy to fix

Thank god someone is finally gonna dyno this thing. I'd also like to know what the purchase price was, as I briefly considered it.

Is this better?

Josh....that's not so you can fit fat chicks is it?

I thought I was seeing one sport seat as well.

(actually when I bought my car the PO had installed only the seatback from a sport seat for the driver. I recovered and completed the pair.

"NO Fat Chicks!"

I don't want to be the party popper but I believe that car is cursed from day 1. Don't get me wrong Josh and I have a good relationship on this forum, but my prognostic is that car is going to be parted or sold.

I remember the ordeal when they were trying to fix a hesitation at high rpms until the day it was stolen, talking to rolex over the phone and hearing his frustration to the point of tears.
Than it came Brian and went to another ordeal, loss of job, divorce, damn sell me that car I will sacrifice it to the Porsche gods.

Wierd, must just be the way it was mounted. I thought it looked larger on TechnoDuck's car but maybe I'm mistaken.

I'm not sure if it's the case here but you could spec out and buy only one, for either the driver or the passenger. check your codes--if you've got sports seats you have both, and if you have just one, well, you just have one code.

before headrests went mandatory on 1/1/69 you could get one or the other in a Mopar, depending on whether you or your passenger wanted one. $7 a piece until they went standard, when the price went up $14 on every car.

Wasn't this also the car that Rennlisters were asked to put in $ when the hat got passed around due to the previous owner's misfortune and helping him keep it?
So Josh, there's quite a few of us that are part of that car.

Yep, that car carries a curse, you guys may think I am joking or trying to be funny, but Josh I'll be praying for you.
