Dienstuhr - it is a color change, of course by choice.

Alwaysflat6's - your points are well taken. I drive my car, hell, I track it. The stock 2.7 with the 7:31 did well at Sears Point and Laguna Seca. After tracking it a few years, and without ANY leaking on the motor, I removed the motor/trans for a 3.0l and LSD. "The numbers matching motor and trans" sit in the corner of a shop. Collecting or just driving, there is something to be said for a car that there are very few other like, especially knowing how fast the walls at Sears Point, coming out of 10, are. There is also a 'coolness' in having the stock motor in the car. It is exactly as Porsche designed and sold the cars 36 years ago, and if I remember correctly, was the fastest production car in 1975 in the US. A 1975 3.0 doesn't hold that title.

I have just about finished a 1969 that will have a 1997 3.6 Varioram. Once this is done, the 1975 will likely see the 2.7 stocker again. At that point, my sphincter will be a bit tighter on track than if the car had the 3.0. (:
