Barn find story - 36 years documented

Hi all,
I've previously posted a bit of info on the ex Dick Barbour race car I found. I've put many of the pieces (story and photos) of it's history together at the link below. Turns out to be a pretty good read (if you're bored at work on Friday morning)

Mark,
That is very cool. When will it be ready to race?

Mark--

Great find (and story). Have you thought about submitting it to Panorama or Excellence?

Porsche is actively looking for stories like this to put up on their website in honor of the 40th anniversary of the 911.
I know it's not a 911, but what the heck.

Mark - I think we will get some testing days in on the track this fall and be racing in the spring.

I've already heard from the 356 Registry about doing the story in their magazine. Does anyone know who the contact is at Excellence?

Thanks all, after getting over the shock of buying the car, this has been great fun!
