A few years ago, PCA used to send out a coupon for $100 to use at any Porsche dealer. I think that you had to spend at least $300 or $500 to redeem it. I called up Brumos, thinking that they would probably have the best hoard of parts in the country. I picked up one of these, some wheel bearings, and a few other trinkets. I remember ordering about 4 ballcaps to go over the minimum. As I recall, I paid about $200 for the dash, and it hasn't been out of the box to this day. Of course, I have a few stories where I was on the oposite side of the ledger, but those aren't as fun to remember.
Nice scores.

Nice stuff! Finding - and affording - these kinds of parts for a complete & correct restoration gets tougher with each passing year. I've almost convinced myself that I won't undertake another early car build or resto largely for this reason.

OK Now I am really envious. Where did you find the twin bulb euro turn signals in NOS???
Is that a NOS dash pad too, or just a recover?

Wow! Those are some sweet parts. I particularly like the turn signals and the dash top. Of course I would love to have the windshield and sail panel trim pieces too. I forgot how nice the fog light grills look when new. Hell ... I love it all. Best wishes with the restoration.

If that is indeed the correct number. COA's for our cars are notorious for being incorrect.
My car # is 673, The COA said my engine # was supposed to be 6404418, but it is actually 6404444

That's why I said the COA's are often incorrect. I ordered a COA (against my own advice) for #1724. It came in wrong on a bunch of things. I called and asked them to correct it. They said they could change a couple of things ( ie; the completion date, based on the Compliance sticker in the door jam), but couldn't change others. So I made a copy of the COA, then sent the original back for a full refund.
On the Carrera RS I had, the COA didn't even state it was a Carrera.
It is a nice piece of paper though, and I think you get a couple extra points in PCA Concours for having it.

Are you shooting for as many NOS parts as possible?
Car doesn't look like it has a rusty hell hole, what happened to the rear fenders
and trunk? Do you know the history of the car?
Good luck with it, I'd love a real six needing a resto.

Mar 8 2010, 10:30 PM
Andy.... If the car looks familar then maybe you know more details about it? like where is the original engine case
Yes, I plan on getting nothing but the best in the way of parts for this resto, Lots of pics and progress after the route 66 run
This is the way the car was when the seller bought it. Glad I have inventory from part cars!!!
finding parts is a fun part of the journey. the hunt continues, tell me what you got that I might need!!!!!

THANK YOU!!! Lots of pictures would be best (back, underside, etc). The idea is that if someday we need to reproduce or repair something, we have a nice reference to get all the details as correct as possible.
