Dubious if the car has 5894 original miles... https://www.diamondmotorworks.com/1973-pors...arga-c-4254.htm Short video of the outside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cAVkUUa1Xs Has the VIN listed as "473291972" but assuming they mean 4732901972 which isn't in the VIN database. Has the front euro turn signal lenses and the kit to relocate the parking light to the bottom, so some previous owner was detail oriented lol.. |

Yes, that's not a '73 speedo - should be 150MPH. Also, FWIW, '73s had silver PORSCHE lettering on the engine grille.
I was hesitant to think someone went to all the trouble to forge documents, but there's just too much wrong - including the way "Dick Barbour" was always inserted with a different font - even in the welcome letter. So George Duncan had so many new members to welcome (in 1973) that he pre-typed a supply of welcome letters and had them on hand to add names & dates? Using a different typewriter. Also, suspicious amount of extra info re: the Chrome Plated card holder and where you might put it. But what finally convinced me is the proportional spacing.  Ron |
