Hi Everyone. I used to lurk on this forum but stopped visiting when prices got out of reach for me to get into an aircooled 911. On a whim I checked the local classified ads this week and happened upon a fresh ad for a 911S Coupe - 1977 Sahara Beige over Cork. This was my ideal color combination for a midyear and I acted quickly and having had a good year in business I had funds to deploy!
The car was previously owned by a dentist for 40+ years. He took very good care of the car and drove it often with no expense sparred. I have some good records showings lots of loving preventative and necessary maintenance including a top end rebuild with pressure fed tensioners installed. Regular oil changes are a trend throughout the records as well as milage from use. The car has not been sitting and is nearing 300,000 km's but shows really well.
The owners manual is stamped indicating the car was originally collected at the factory - December 22nd 1976. The stamp reads "CIRTIFICATE OF WARRANTY EXTENTION OVERSEAS TOURIST DELIVERY". What a trip that must have been!

My car is sitting in my friend's garage in Edmonton, Alberta as he was kind enough to collect it for me. I need to get the car home to Vancouver, BC. This drive is 12 hrs (1,159.2 km) via Yellowhead Hwy E/AB-16. I am handy but have not wrenched on aircooled cars. Am I crazy for contemplating driving the car home through the mountains? If not, any suggestions for making this a smooth trip?
