Paid $36k for it which seems like a reasonable price these days for an air cooled.

The biggest issue the car had from the start (known when I bought it) was the ignition was unreliable. Turned out to be partly the electrical switch and partly the start lock. With lots of digging through threads here I got that resolved and it now starts reliably I have been reading a ton of threads here as I try and figure things out.

Questions to follow… for some reason I can’t get obligatory pic to attach. Maybe I need to have a certain number of posts first?
Welcome to the madness of 911 love.

This forum will have the answer to virtually every possible question about the G body 911.

One suggestion, fill in your profile as a general location, and the type of car you have. That helps people know your car, and if a local source for a fix is near you.

And the photo upload issue has been resolved.
