We're moving (early April) and these magazines and books aren't. The first group is for sale. The second is yours for the cost of shipping (feel free to just take a few). I'm in Evanston, IL. If you're nearby, feel free to come pick them up.

Edit: I came across pix of the Pano covers and uploaded them to Picasa: https://picasaweb.google.com/111679176574623501890/Pano

I have a bunch of free stuff, mostly Porsche Panorama. You pay postage (magazines, so can't go Media Mail - a few will fit in a Priority Mail flat rate envelope, a bunch in larger flat rate boxes).

• Popular Classics May 1994. Triumph TR4 (why I bought it). No obvious Porsche content.

• Convert It: A Step-by-Step Manual for Converting an Internal Combustion Vehicle to Electric Power, by Michael P. Brown with Shari Prange. Probably interesting mostly as a historical curiosity at this point. 1993.

Finally, two bits from my much earlier life messing around with 356s (pre-Internet).

• 1500 GS Carrera Parts Supplement. This is just a photocopy, but man-oh-man, is that 547 one beautiful engine! I never owned one, and long ago dumped all my photocopied A and pre-A parts manuals. Just couldn't bear to toss this one.
• Letter from Ed Mayo, dated April 22, 1978, on his Porsha letterhead. I must have been asked about the throttle response (or lack thereof) on my Speedster in a letter to him as the Pano 356 tech guy. The letter is a fairly detailed (three pages, handwritten) explanation of adjusting the 356 throttle linkage.
