We have been left behind in tool roll market
 
Sure, it includes a jack and a big ass hammer, but Porsche guys are way low in this market....

Amazing piece right there, but remember a 275 is a 2-3 million dollar car.

^ Yup, and without the proper tool roll, the car isn't complete. Collectors are a weird bunch.

But we are strong in the drivers manual market

At least we don’t need a rock hammer in our tool kit :eek:

275 Ferrari
 
I ran across a guy driving one of these in Alabama in the late 80’s when I was in flight school. I saw it coming toward me and figured it was a “run of the mill” XKE, but as it neared I identified it as an early (short nose) medium blue 275 GTB.

Being a car nut, I followed the guy a few miles and talked to him when he stopped for fuel. He was a nice older gent who was a contract instructor pilot. He worked in Italy in the 1970’s and picked it up for something like $5k. His wife drove a Fiat Dino convertible. Damn it sounded good pulling away V-12 Colombo (kind of like our Mezger) design, 4 rear pipes each 3 into one...

Talk about an fun investment!

It's odd that Porsche peeps would be short-Richarded in the tool roll department, considering most of the owners are spanners (especially here in the Marketplace forum . . . except for me!)! :D

Who even uses these tools?

^^^ That's a good question. The only tools I have used from the Porsche tool kit is the spark plug socket and lug wrench.
