Apparently this was one of 7 barely used vehicles he owned including an Aston and a Ferrari etc.

It was also incredibly difficult to find one with the sport buckets. Of the 7 or so CPO Spyders available right now in the country, this was the only one equipped as such.

Sorry guys the Porsche script stays! I also am not a fan of any scripts, but on certain special Porsches, if it comes this way from the factory, its the way it is meant to be.

'72 Carrera RS comes to mind.
Yes - I was at that car clinic too and saw the Spyder. It was perfect. Oh well snooze you lose - right? I am sorta set on white if I go down that path but wanted sport buckets and manual 6MT. So that one fit that bill.

Congrats again.

White was my first choice too, but when I saw it in black and how clean this one was I couldn't resist. Yup me too sport buckets and 6MT were essential. Rusnak is awesome it is my second P car from them.

Agreed.

(But, ahem, that should be '73 Carrera RS.)
