Default getting to know us

Hello When my wife was in HS she always thought the front of a 911 reminded her of a frog. We met at college. Married at 21 and are still together.
We started with a 944 after multiple VW's. Wish we kept the 67.
We moved from Reston to Alexandria and met Chick Stanton who was a delight to work with. He sold us our 87 911 that we still own. Well, we sold it once and bought it back. We also have a 79 SC and a 2014 diesel Cayenne.
We have retired to Western Maryland on Deep Creek Lake and posted a request for help finding an independent Porsche mechanic in Morgantown WV??? or Winchester area.
We also have a true barn find. 1976 012 E we bought. Snake skins on the back seat and holding water. No rusted out floor pans. Almost in paint.
We have 2 older ones that we purchased maybe 10-15 years ago waiting for enough money to bring them brought back to glory.
If you are on DCL and see the dock with an American flag and a black Porsche flag below pull in

Welcome to the board. Post a few pictures when you have a chance. I can't help with your question but am sure someone on here will have an idea.

We are a five minute boat ride apart. I am just north of you in 4 Hoop Pole, stupid name no one knows the name of our cove. On Paradise Point Road, green house, white dock and red Cobalt. Wow, I wish we had the land/house in the 50s! We bought 10 years ago and watched the kids grow up on the lake. If the cover is off the boat we at the house, stop by.

We sold the Boston Whaler years ago. Presently we don't have a boat. If you are out we are about 8 houses down from the Yacht Club. Can't miss the Porsche flag. Stop in anytime.
