Hard to imagine it was 52 years ago that I dragged my dad to Park Porsche in Lawrence Mass. to co-sign the loan for this car..
I was 18 and actually wanted a 750 Honda.
My parents weren't impressed and said... Go Buy a NIce Car.. And here we are....

It was a lifetime ago....

Haven't touched it for a long time.. But it is still out in the garage...
