Hi Witt,

Congrats on the sale of your beautiful Pagoda.  Not sure why it took so long to sell as it looking like a great car to me!  Maybe you can share that with us.

As far as Porsche sites go the absolute best site in my opinion in pelicanparts.com.  Great group of guys really dedicate to the brand and willing to go out of their way to help out much like the guys in this fine group.  Parts, tech advice, forums etc.  I have an early 911 and have received lots of great advice there.

You have bought a classic icon.  Have fun with it Will!

Hi Witt -

It would be great if you could summarize what you learned and what you might advise others in the future.  Do you think the issues were because of the classic nature of the car, or just a series of 'lookers' not buyers?

All these closet-911 owners! The Porsche may well be the most popular 'other car' for Pagoda enthusiasts.
