I owned a 1974 911S sponge-o-matic...err.. I mean sport-o-matic

Actually it wasn't too bad. My wife even like to drive the car. The only problem for me is that it also uses the engine oil for the torque converter. It used to overheat something fierce whenever I took it to the track (Lime Rock). Not good

Nice, get some Fuchs and sell the tail.

To track one, you need an oil cooler.
