Part of the cool thing is going through the history with my dad. It is a real connection to his history. We found his paperwork including the original invoice. I have a his fuel and oil log book where he shows the first fill-up at 177 mi (I think, I do not have the book in front of me). Then there is the letter he sent to the nearest Porsche dealer chewing him out for scratching the paint. It's been fun having him remember all this with me.

That's the best part. Keep it in the family.
My Dad has a 1973 Volvo 1800ES he bought a week before I was born. Mom went to the hospital in that car. He still calls it my brother.
It needs work, and just sits in the garage, but there is never any talk about selling it....
