[Porsche Rescue]

A (slight) brush with fame. I purchased that car (well kinda that car) in 2002 to get its 18 year-old fresh 2.0 engine. It was a rust free '74 that had been sitting in 3 different owner's garages as a disassembled roller since 1984. The engine was completely rebuilt in '84 and had never been installed. Paid $1200. The engine is now in my '74.
I sold a few parts (Korijo has the ss heat exchangers) and then sold the roller to my friend and neighbor Craig (Camp 914) Laughlin for $400. As is so often the case, he gets the last laugh and the $$$. Within two weeks of the purchase he sees an ad in the local paper, "rust free 914 wanted, drive train not important." Craig calls the guy, he looks, asks how much and Craig says $1200. The rest is history. Buyer is local collector with pockets to China (like really deep, has Carrera GT, Enzo and GT40 on the way, among others). He turns the car over to local car builders at Rothsport and 2 years later Britain is posting the results.
