Bought a Porsche

Latest addition to the family:

I picked it up on Wednesday and then went up to see Carl Heideman in Michigan. I'm now in Atlanta visiting my brother and will be back in Florida tomorrow. I love it.

Congats! It always a wonderful feeling...I love falling in love.

Thank goodness it's aircooled!!!

Good luck and have fun. It's amazing how overbuilt those cars are.

You bought a hamburger joint???

Cheers Ron

Ah, two classics. How can you go wrong?!

Wonderful. Even like the colour.

Exactly.

In reply to David S. Wallens:

Very nice! That's a '78-'84 SC, isn't it? I've always wanted one, but was scared off by the cost of parts. I hope you record your ownership experience so maybe I will change my mind!

It's actually the first year of the Carrera. The SC ended in 1983.

The cars are similar, with the biggest difference probably being the engine: 3.0-liter with Bosch CIS (SC) vs. 3.2-liter with Bosch DME (Carrera). The next big change came for 1987 with the addition of the G50 transmission.

So far, so good.

Sweet ride David... Congrats. I think I feel a twinge of Porsche envy coming on. Cheers, Scott

Thanks. The car has been totally delightful so far. I still need to do a real photo shoot. Maybe this weekend.
