got a ground up restoration in 1974 with 60,000 miles
Two engine rebuilds, two transmission rebuilds, original interior, original paint
Cool car, cool story but lots of contradicting statements that don't make much sense to me.

Hoy cow! I went through some of the receipts. I had to really change the description drastically or be accused of false advertising.
You're right. Thanks. I cleaned it up. Going off what 96 year old brother-in-law says, relying on memory and my own proclivities for exaggeration. I think he means it has not had a formal 100% restoration, except that the mechanical systems have been kept at 100% throughout it's life. I'll get a better idea when I organize all the paperwork that came with it.
He called it a ground up restoration at the factory, but it looks more like a refreshing, reading the invoices, upgrading carpeting and cosmetics, new door handles, etc.
There is a gap in maintenance records between purchase date and 1974, when it went through the factory. There is a gap between 1974 and 1982. Every little thing is documented between 1982 and present.
There have been fender benders. All receipts are from Porsche certified shops.
This is him in 2008, competing at the PCA Porsche Parade in San Diego. He was the oldest participant and the longest term member of the PCA at the event.
