Just cruising the threads as I am new to it. Beautiful car. You've had some nice comments about how you conduct your business too. Glad I found those, now I don't feel like I'm getting my cherry busted. Let's hope we have a long and mutually rewarding relationship.

WOW big difference, LOOKS beyond great also love that color.

I was hoping you'd chime in Tom. Tell us what you've been up to with the car, how has the motor held up, etc.

geez, we built our cars near the same time and I've had 3 other 911s since then and my green car is in Australia somewhere.. !!

I can't believe it is almost 10 years ago that I bought this car and started the restoration.

I have been doing 3-4 track events each year. The car is exceptionally well dialed in and a blast to drive on the track. However, I drive on the street every opportunity I have. Nice long mid-week drives through the CT countryside, with little to no traffic and open pipes, are almost as much fun as the track.

I have probably put 15-20,000 miles on it since the restoration. The entire car has been trouble free. The engine continues to pull strongly. The only maintenance has been annual oil & filter changes, valve adjustments and brake fluid flushing. The PMO's are flawless. I typically get two seasons out of the Hoosiers.

I have another project in process. I am doing a concours restoration on a numbers matching '70E that I bough at an estate auction. I plan to start a separate thread on that soon.

Here are some pics to enjoy

I have the good fortune to be local to Tom and this car just exudes total quality, a testament to Tom and the crew at Auto Associates. Am looking forward to seeing his next, stock project. John

Great story time wise and glad to see how nicely the car is working.
It is a beautiful ride.
