VW Beetles and 911s go hand in hand! I had a 72 standard and super. Also had a 60 sunroof and 67. Always dreamt of 911s since I was 10. Beetles were the arthritic grandfather of the 911. My 76 Targa...

I believe the Swepco 201 isn't synthetic and seems to be the choice for 915 boxes? The 210 is synth and is cool for G50s. I definitely gotta see if I have the LSD!

Sweet ride! I just got my first 911 last month. A 76 Targa allegedly first owned by Aerosmith's Joey Kramer. Something about old 911s seems to make us all a bit nutty! I can't stop obsessing over it....
