Since it is 35 years old, it spends time in the air.

Mine is 33 years old and did that 18 months ago in getting it back on the road to make sure it was healthy in stock trim before moving forward with next steps.....who's exhaust is that as I need to replace mine.

The exhaust is from Albert Broadfoot. It was too loud for the street in my opinion, so I added a round magnaflow SS muffler in the center section. He does some beautiful welding.

The best way to keep your 951 off your lift is to also own a 1979 California-smog-spec 450SL. :shock:

Love the color on your car Cruise -- is that "nautic" blue?

Tom, did you see the February Issue of Octane that had the article on SL's ?
The issue had a yellow Gemballa Testarossa on the cover.

I did not. Good? I haven't seen Octane around lately -- I used to get it at Barns and Noble, but haven't seen it lately....

It was interesting for a broad overview of the generations, and they did include the Euro straight six manual. A basic difference of some of the specs and iterations given the length of its lifespan.
We have a decent Barnes and Noble so wide selection of Porsche magazines, Aston, Ferrari, occasional Morgan, Magneto, Jag, Mini, BMW, etc.
