That thing must have been a bear to steer at speed, John.
Even with whatever improved parts were available, those were primitive front ends. When I worked at Bob Smith Porsche in Hollywood back in the ‘80s, the service manager had a double cab w a mild 911T motor in it w 915 that was a nice rig. It was a 1970 or so, 2nd generation. Back then, 911 motors were plentiful and cheap if you were in the business. He probably got it out of a customer’s totaled car.
