We almost chased down a Corvette. We drove an IROC Z. I own your father much. I would stop at his business in Canton. Outstanding...

His passing ended that plan. I wish now I'd found the time last...

1972T Alan helped me find about 10 years ago.

I'm so saddened to hear this news. We shared the same passion for PORSCHE, finding & repairing rusty gold.
