No problem, I expect a little locker room humor from both sides. Here is what one guy posted when I said my 28 year old Porsche still will handle better:
We'll be sure to wave to you as we pass your 30 yr old Porsche broken down on the side of the road. I'm sure your g/f will appreciate the lift in a car that actually has a functioning stereo, and heat.
Of the top 15 problems found on early 911, the following might be applicable to a '77 911S.
Throttle linkage damper failures
Pulse type electric fuel pumps
Electrical grounds and connectors (early '77)
Chain Tensioners
Clutch designs and actuation systems (all years)
CIS air box breakage from backfires
CIS fuel pump relay failures
CIS warm-up regulators
Fuel system check valve failures
The non-galvanized bodies often had grounding problems in their electrical system as well as general connectors due to corrosion. More and more relays were added during the '70s to help compensate for the large distances between the battery, switches and various components.
NOTE: Except for the galvanization babble, this is my car.
Oh yea, and they pasted the two halves together too.
