It was enough that after working out a price, I still needed 24 hours to come to terms with it. I justified it by telling myself there probably won't be another 550 rear clip, same with the hood and the doors. They made less than 150 of these cars so that's not a big pool to draw from. Add to that they are all 60+ years old, and they went all over the world. Grab what you can when you can.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) You always need to be ready when opportunity strikes. I have found my share of valuable stuff just by people knowing I'm a "Porsche Guy".

Nice score! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
