Carbs
Sounds about right actually, but who's gonna pay?....
My dad was an independent importer of German cars in the 60's and 70's. He imported mostly VW's but also Porsche, MB, and BMW, through his Dutch connection Ben Pon (former Porsche factory driver). We had a 67S (new) come into the port in Vancouver, and when they offloaded the car, it wouldn't start....the carbs had been stolen. We located one in Italy and the other at Porsche....cost was $2,000 back in 1967......insurance covered the cost. regards, Eric |

Well I guess PAG is offering a bargain then considering the price has only doubled in the last 35 years.

Suddenly PMOs @ $2k are sounding pretty affordable.
