What are the odds?

well about 1 in 125,000!!!!

also thanks for posting as i had missed this back in march , just read the article about Jeff's journey that is so cool! I have many times wondered what happened to my '74 BMW motorcycle, and my '69 Austin Healey that i sold in 1992 before my move from MN to SC. ..

Can't read the story.

The site seems to think I have an ad-blocker running.

I don't.

Just my work firewalls.

this must be the car in question when it was on BAT.
looks like its from the very first day of production of the 74.

We've been nursing this one back to health. Customer owns a few clubs here in town. If you ever need a beer and garlic burger in Salt Lake City... you've got a friend.

Dealer stamping in the Owners Manual of this '74
"Dick Strong's Porsche+Audi"; same dealer that sold PCA member Anthony (Tony) Thurber his 9146.
The dealer also installed the m471 goodies on the car, made for a fast club racer.
Tony's car also ran a 2.7L turbo engine that he bought from us. Real small world !
