Can't read the story.
The site seems to think I have an ad-blocker running. I don't. Just my work firewalls. |

We've been nursing this one back to health. Customer owns a few clubs here in town. If you ever need a beer and garlic burger in Salt Lake City... you've got a friend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Dealer stamping in the Owners Manual of this '74
"Dick Strong's Porsche+Audi"; same dealer that sold PCA member Anthony (Tony) Thurber his 9146. The dealer also installed the m471 goodies on the car, made for a fast club racer. Tony's car also ran a 2.7L turbo engine that he bought from us. Real small world ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/marty914.jpg) |
