This could be a good 'Found under a live oak [or mesquite] tree' story!

Is there a connection with the 3.0 powered box, here???

That is VERY pretty. Is it ready to go or does it need restoration? From the pics it looks well kept.

You're in Trouuuuble!

Very nice pick up.

Mark, Is this in "color-sand-and-buff-the-hell-out-of-it" condition or are you going to go nuts and have the tub on a rotisserie in a few weeks?

Right now, we're cleaning it up and will try to breath life back into the 2.2. It doesn't need a full restoration cuz there's no rust(visible). Paint was buffed lightly and looks good, but I'll color sand and buff again to get it smoother. Main thing was it needed to be pulled out of the pasture before it went further downhill.

So, not a barn find, per se, but next to it. Very nice.

It doesn't matter where you find them, as long as you find them. It's in good hands now and I don't mean Allstate.

Still lot's of details to work out. Right now, I'm storing and cleaning it up.

The gold car in the back is rusted beyond hope. It's parts only and the owner is keeping it.

My 3rd, and next to last, Porsche was a 1970 911T. A lot of fond memories attached to that car. May you build some of your own with this one.
