Lightbulb 9X6 is now a "Classic"

According to Porsche:

http://flatsixes.com/advise/maintena...-996-classics/

Time to switch from A40 list to Porsche 10W-60.
997 to follow shortly (in next 6 yrs or so).

Congrats to all 996 owners. Time to celebrate (just like when my AARP card arrived in the mailbox)!

Let hope they start building and selling engines again for our classic car at a decent price.

In 2013, PORSCHE CLASSIC made a detailed presentation at the Traverse City PCA Parade about their scope of work. Here are the highlights:
    In Germany, PC provides "normal" body shop repairs primarily for Germany based owners whose P-cars have been involved in road accidents.
    PC's main lines of business are full "better than new" restorations and parts sales for models 15* years old and older. A full restoration for an early 911 was estimated at $300K USD, and requires the vehicle to be shipped to the Germany facility. (At the time of the Traverse City meeting, PC was booked about 13 months out for full restorations.)

    *The criteria of 15 years or older may have changed since 2013, especially with respect to selected parts sales.
