Nice! I remember seeing your car in Der Vorganger and then at Cars and Coffee a few times.

Congrats!

I have sent in at least 2 requests for a free Excellance mag so I can start a subscription since Christmas now and have received nothing from them. I guess they don't want my business. Right now their customer service/subscription department gets an F from me. Good luck with the pictures and article.

Their customer service is lame- I've got a complete set-all 201 issues- (for sale btw) & got into a disagreement over missing an issue when my subscription renewed thru Amazon.I ended up having to pay $10 for one "Back issue" as opposed to $25 for a year's subscription- left a bad taste for doing business with them but I had to do it to keep the collection complete.

Hacks! I wouldn't let them touch my car or buy their mag anymore. Customer service is EVERYTHING in my book. I subscribe to a UK mag now that is much better and even has an e-zine service at a HUGE discount!

Congrats on getting in Ex! I've subscribed for many years with no problems, though I have little exp to their cust svc, just keep renewing the normal way. I love the high quality they put out. Looks like you have put a lot of work into that 76! It looks great. My first was a 76 S, enjoyed it for almost 10 years in close to original condition (updated to 87 3.2 motor, big improvement). Looking forward to reading about it.

I missed an Excellence issue a fews years back and they promptly sent me another copy. Excellence, Total 911 and Classic Porsche are all fine mags.

Great looking car by the way, looking forward to the Excellence article.

It's good to hear that they venture out of CA, I didn't think they featured any cars outside the left coast. A few years ago I flew out to visit SSI and looked up Excellence, small place but pretty neat to actually see it. I also have every issue, but not on purpose I'm just a pack rat!

I am looking forward to reading all about your beauty. Excellence is a magazine that I always look forward to receiving. They do some great work and writeups. Very cool that your car will be published. Congrats Helio!
