I've owned my 76 since 1984, engine has never been rebuilt. I bought it from the original owner in San Diego, who very wisely removed the thermal reactors and installed an 11 blade fan and front mounted oil cooler. It continues to be a blast to drive.

I'm sure it will need a rebuild at some point, and I plan to do all of the 'correct' fixes noted previously, to keep it 'numbers matching'.

Having driven quite a few other later 911 models, I also think the combination of the 2.7 w/ the light 'middie' body and lack of modern 'extras' make these cars great fun. And easy to work on.
