Thanks all for the warm welcome and kind compliments on the car. We started out looking at 996 and 997s but somehow we ended up with this one ! The color and wheels were a big selling point.
@blueline here are some photos of my other cars. The Mustang is apart and has been for years (a victim of the “while I’m at it’s”) and the photo below is with a Factory Five Cobra that I built and sold a 10+ years ago. The Model A (aka “Ev”) is a 1930 Tudor. Most of the restoration was done by the former owner and I’ve been the mechanical caretaker since 2020. Once the Mustang is back together, it will probably have to go because we only have a 2 car garage and the Porsche deserves an indoor home.

Awesome cars! All three of the non-Porsche's are marvelous and wonderfully photographed too - nicely done! They are definitely cars to be proud of.
Love the Mustang with its classic Torq Thrust style wheels - I feel those wheels are the absolute best ever for early Mustangs and other mid 60's American cars. I imagine the car will be happy to be back together.
The Model A! My goodness - it is so awesome and so very cool looking! It's pristine! Great color combo too - that doesn't get any better. Wow.
Thanks for sharing the photos!

Welcome to Carpokes! (I posted a comment about the great photo background on your other post. Impressive location!)
As for 'Zorro", he looks wonderful and content. We love pets here and have a dedicated Pet Thread that has attracted many posts in case you want to add to it.
