Anyone here into old Porsches? I am looking to buy a 50's-60's Porsche or maybe one of the later 1980's Carreras. Anyone have a project car or driver they are looking to sell?
I was going to buy a GNX but I have always wanted to try out a Porsche so I am leaning in that direction
Thanks!
Very cool pics, I knew you guys would chime in! These were pulled from my late uncles old GNX years ago, and I recently found them while sorting through his estate. Davpar might be on the money with the speedo. The tach is the rarer part, however. I've thrown them up on ebay for anyone...

HTH.
Jimmy, Long time! I don't browse these forums much anymore since I sold the Buick.
I always recommend putting a weaker spring in the wastegate, and using a ball and spring controller like the kind I used to sell on here to adjust boost. They're leaps and bounds better and more reliable than...
