Thanks for all the good wishes. I am not planning to track this one as it is REALLY clean. But do need to go meet Matt. And may offer DR a beer for a thorough tech walk through on the car.

It is a total blast to drive.

When is the suspension replacement party? Better schedule it soon, as SP is barely 3 weeks away!

Looks like a true 'preservation class' example. Makes me nostalgic for my '85 Carrera. You're going to love it.

Whaaaaat? You do realize that "carrera" is race in Spanish, right? Not allowing that car to stretch its legs on track is sacriledge. Get a Targa for that type of ownership experience.
