I came very close to selling this last year while it was in pieces. I've owned it 20 years, Bought it from my Mom's Second husband who bought it new.
It lost oil pressure 10-11 years ago and was sitting. With family and everything else just didn't have time or money. 8 years ago I had a MI that damn near killed me. Really put a damper on stuff. 7 years ago after a year of soul searching I bought the motor from a kid in Alabama trying to get some thing going with it. Again time and money it sat. 5 years ago after worrying I was going to drop dead with every twinge I felt in my chest I dug my old Peugeot P8 out and started riding with the decision I'm either going to die from another MI or get over my worries. Its been consuming my interest ever since.

Last year the wife and I had decided we needed to clear some more projects that were not getting done. That we had no time or money for. The 59 Airstream I just had got the body back on weeks before I had the MI went. A lot of other smaller projects like my 64 Sears Allstate (Vespa), RC planes had gone a couple years before.
I put an Ad on Criagslist. Figure I sell it and buy a running driving Porsche. My wife didnt understand how it would Be cheaper for me to have the 928 that I always wanted over fixing this. Around here rusted Muscle non running muscles are bringing decent coin. Basically I set a time line that the motor was going in in 5 weeks. Buy it now $6k (I would have taken 5) motor included but after that date $10k. Plenty of nice 928s pop up at that price or less. Lots of people interested but they wanted it for $6k motor in it driving.
So time came to put the motor in. Took a week off to do it. 4 days into it I was able to get it to start third try. 7 days later it was tagged.
Everybody offered $6k I told them to screw off go buy a non running rust bucket hard top for $4k. LOL

Basically fell back in love with it pretty quick.
Now where the wife doesn't understand how a Porsche 928 could possibly be cheaper is the plans for this are starting to happen. LOL $100 worth of wheels and tires got a smoking deal on them Sam's had a "special buy" on the tires. Normally $183 for the rear 275 40 17's $87!!!!!!
Picking out stuff I want for it now and the list is LONG and expensive. Suspension will be about $4k, 6 Piston Wilwood front 4 piston back $3k. New gauges $900. Richmond 6speed OD $3.5k Thats how a Porsche 928 is cheaper. lol

Now back to topic......Going for a ride! (on the bike) Its gorgeous out and mid 60's.
