Had a great day today !
I talked to the original owner of a car I've owned for more than ten years. The car is a 1970 914 6 It was also owned by a member here who was active for a long time. The original guy bought it at Rusnak Porsche in Pasadena and was kept it for several years. It still has its original engine and transmission and I have all the parts. He was a member of POC The car was serviced at 'Scientific Automotive' ......anyone familiar? The original owner is now 96 years old and was very happy to hear about the car. He remembered very specific details. This is a first for me and despite the cars condition and past damage I'm thrilled. Rory Attached image(s) |

Finding original owners (or close to it) can be very cool.
In addition to Porsche's , I like British cars. Last Fall I picked up a very tired (but original) 1964 MGB. I found many old receipts in the car going back to the 1960's. On a whim, I mailed a letter to the address shown on the receipts. This is what I received: 64_MGB_Story.pdf ( 138.59k ) Number of downloads: 96 64_MGB_1.pdf ( 375.41k ) Number of downloads: 65 64_MGB_2.pdf ( 316.57k ) Number of downloads: 66 Car in current condition: |
