Yeah, that '66 with "201,000 Thousand Mileage." [sic]

I think you'd get special recognition from Porsche if you had a car with 201,000,000 miles on it. Might be hard to document with a 5-digit odometer, though.

Did you report them? That's the way to get black993 to remove them.

Probably needs a top end, too

Green 72 911S

I had a customer in 74 his name was Ken Williams who bought Al Holberts Viper Green 72 911S that was built for him by Porsche to CP SCCA specs.It had 85mm one ring slipper pistons at 12:1 C.R.906 CAMS,7 inch 911R wheels,limited slip & sport seats.FAST car but after 5 laps at Lime Rock he had to pull in because of high oil temp.Ken flogged that car & sold it to an attorney from Eastman -Kodak in Rochester N.Y.I rebuilt the motor for him to 2.8 specs.in 1977.That would be a cool car to try & find.Probably still up there.One of 6.Fred

Quick Google image search shows that most/all of the photos have been lifted from other ads/sites.
