Garage

It is still in my garage in Albuquerque. I am renting an apartment here and will not bring it down till I can get a house with a garage to keep it in. I am up there a couple of times a month and take it out. It still runs great!
I still have not had it on a dyno, but It certainly feels like it has that much HP. As far as I am concerned...if Henry says it...it is so. IMHO, he is the best. It is a lot faster than any of my friends' 200+ Hp cars...but it is also lighter.

I am a bit concerned that it will not pass emissions here in NV. It was exempt in NM.

I have been gathering up A/C parts for it. I will probably bring it out to CA (where all the early Porsche expertise seem to reside) this fall/winter to get someone to install it for me...as I have no time with my new job. maybe get some suspension work done too. We can hook up and you can drive it if you like. See what the butt dyno says. I also got some 7"x15' fuchs...but they are still sitting in the garage waiting for me to find some time. I replaced the aftermarket mirrors with the chrome ones from '74 (after the picture shown). I like that look better. I have a nos set of the chrome headlight rings I am considering puting on too....
