New 997
Well, I've been a lurker for a while and finally took the plunge.
Bought my first 911 in 1975. A '68. Paid $5k. $10k later sold it to my neighbor for $3k. Really? Went thru all the normal stuff (chain tensioners, pulled studs). Finally found a '67 S aluminum case ($300), installed 90mm pistons/cyl bumped it to a 2.5. Custom ground cams. Work done by Roger Bursch at Scientific Automotive in Pasadena, Ca. Ran good. Drove AMG and M cars after that
, but, always a Porsche guy. Finally bought a '12 Panamera S. Wonderful car, but, something was missing. Told my wife I am going to look at a 911 at the dealer. She said "Don't do it".
Anyway, here I am at 67 years old and back in a 911. Man, I love this car.
