Porsche people love to spend money. We had shirts make up in the Philly Region that said "Don't drive better - just spend more." That's the Porsche way.

Let's add an oil cooler that we don't need. That would be really cool.

On a more serious note never throw an old part out. All those old parts go with the car to the next custodian. You don't really own a Porsche you just get to take care of it for a while. When you lose interest or get too old to drive it goes to a new custodian.

I'm the 3rd custodian of my '73. Right now I'm spending too much money on old emissions equipment. The least the earlier custodians could have done was put the stuff in a box and sold it to me when I bought the car. Or, if I had been smarter I would have started looking for this stuff about 10 years ago. Oh well.

Did you note the date of the video?

You are my new hero. Thats the most succinct and accurate statemejt i have heard in too long.

well said.

I wondered how long it would take for someone to notice that and comment on it. :)

I don't think I needed to look at the date to figure out that was satire. IT WAS A FREAKIN LEBARON.

I hate when old cars get infested with termites ;)

Don't let your Morgan even slow down in the PNW!

Will modification devalue car?

Apparently not even nature can accomplish that:

Sorry, but he doesn't get credit for that... he's (mis) quoting James Glickenhaus ;)

No saws or drills please!!! Are you buy & hold?
 

In my younger days I destroyed a 57 Bel Air with rare factory PS, PB & AC to make a 400HP BB hot rod that I had to eventually take off the road & hide for fear of law enforcement reprisals. Ah, youth. If I just locked it up in a garage for 20 years...or if I did the same with my 73... Your ride is a joy to drive and preserving the OEM value is a good long term plan but you need to fun ride today with confidence. With 43K, reversible modifications & keeping/buying OEM parts are a must to your long term value. The trick is balancing the reversible modifications with everyday requirements. A set of SSI's & cleaning out crap from your BEHR fins may be all you need in Seattle. You are not racing? SSI's make a big difference in exhaust heat retention (DUUUH!!!). Get any Thermo Reactors & pumps off and prepare them for storage & store them for future resale, please. I run a late '83 930/10 (200+HP 9,8 CR Euro 3.0 with side drainer case) with SSI's and I dabble at staying up to oil temp on the street on casual drives in the south CA coastal area and even the old canyons. As Danny Sullivan said, " I just have to be faster than the car behind me". An old stock US 2.7 CIS can still put the wood to many cars. What do you really need????? Please do not butcher the sweet cars of tomorrow. Go visit John Walker's Workshop for good shop advice & good work. The Dude knows his stuff and he is local to you (hint, hint, hint). Best of Luck.
