Carpokes Porsche Forum

Left side will have the A/C controls. I'll leave the right side for a future owner to customize.

Ran a few errands today...

That looks outstanding! Cars like that always seem to attract more attention than the fanciest new car, so bet you are getting your share of thumbs up and the like.

Yeah, it's funny, really. I feel almost invisible driving most of the Porsches I've owned. The yellow 914 drew a little public attention, but the rest not so much.

But some of the other projects—'64 FJ40, '71 240Z, and this C10—always engendered waves, thumbs, comments and stories. The 240Z was especially big on stories, it seems that everyone knew someone who had a 240Z and had a story to tell about it.

Just got shipping notice on the A/C package. Should arrive late next week.

When I'm not driving a Porsche ...

A/C installation has commenced.

Truckin' in comfort!

The A/C installation is complete. I have an appointment to get it evacuated and charged next Wednesday. Picking away at some small details now, as I expect to offer it for sale at a local American Classic cruise and show on June 3rd.

The A/C was charged a couple of weeks ago, and—as they say in all the car ads—blows COLD.


Took some time to squash a couple of small bugs, and I'm now declaring it to be finished. I will clean it up a bit, do a few final touch-ups, and then start marketing it. Considering BaT, but we haven't agreed on a reserve yet.

The truck looks great and that is some cold a/c! Nicely done Arne.
