Well I've had my 72 twenty-two years and 245,000 miles. When I first got it I drove 104 miles round trip to work all year long. It always did better when being driven. Now after rebuilding everything from the suspension up to the 3.0L twin plug and reducing weight down to 2200lbs it is my favorite. I'm also a track junkie, I've had the car on tracks in Wash, Ore, Cal, Ala, and Florida. Since I'm not a purist, I don't mind that it reflects my personality.
Here are the porsches garage mates. A hotrod Classic Mini Cooper and a 65 Corvette with a 392 Hemi and a 5 spd.
