Just bought a Porsche

Ok, talked to PMB. "There's nothing wrong, just drive the car, the pedal will get better" he said the new parts have to break in. I've driven it about twenty miles now and I have more pedal now. This is a first for me.

Aside from that, I loved the handling before and now it's even better.

Whoopi! and wow!

I sent a request to Porsche for a COA on this car found out it's an S! and a very early one at that, manufactured 3/3/67 the first year of the 911S

I'm thrilled with this news, this is the best Christmas ever in May!

Your car was made only 1 day and 1 year after I was born.  3/2/66.     Why do I love German cars so much?  This and the BMW 1600 was introduced to the public in early March 1966.

very nice.  Do the engine/transmission numbers match?  If so - $$$$$$

Tranny yes, engine unfortunately no. Have no idea where the original motor is. The car has a hot rod motor in it now. A '75  fuel injected 2.7 rebuilt with better pumps, chain guides, etc. It also has RS Pistons and cylinders. It's a screamer but I would love to find the original engine, not that I would install it though. I hope this isn't a COA typo, the engine number doesn't make sense for an S. Need to do some research

Sun roof works flawlessly and doesn't leak. Pretty cool considering the car is 50 years old now. I think they put electric sun roofs in 200 911s in '67.

On another note, Porsche apparently screwed up on the COA. I checked the slam panel plate and no S so the body is not an S body. Oh well, I'll never sell this car anyway.

Is the color original to the car?  Mine was changed to Guards red a while ago by a PO (most likely in Wisconsin).  Original was copper brown metallic - think the same as Magnus Walker's newest build.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
