he always had it serviced by either a Porsche dealer or a Porsche specialist. they moved to South Carolina and the car just sat in his humid garage. after me complaining about that, and my recent early retirement, he decided to finally sign the title over to me to be able to care for, maintain and use it. I spent thousands purchasing tools and renovating my garage specifically for its housing. two weeks ago, I drove to SC to get it and began working on the little things it needs. I have an order from Pelican arriving tomorrow so I can finish fixing the seized brakes and doing some other general maintenance. already registered and insured and ready to go. she has 48,000 original miles.

That’s a beautiful looking car, and the garage looks awesome. I’m sure it’s happy in its new home and hope that you can get it running and driving soon. Best part about these cars are when you can get them out on the road. Good luck and enjoy it.
