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
