My dad absolutely loved this car. For 48 years my dad (often with my mom riding shotgun) drove around my hometown in his 1973.5 911. And on special occasions they'd head on longer adventures - Sonoma, Monterey, Santa Barbara.
That 911 was his true joy. He absolutely adored that car, cared for it meticulously, and he had a real fun time meeting and interacting with other enthusiasts.
Of course, I wasn't allowed anywhere near it. I couldn't even walk next to it, covered up in the garage. I think I sat in the passenger seat 5 times growing up. Maybe 4. Sitting rigid the entire time, I'm not even sure I was allowed to put my feet down on the floor mats. But my parents did go on vacation. And though they absolutely did not at all trust me, my dad thought disabling the ignition and battery and hiding the keys was enough. Nice try. I knew the odometer was out of order, and no disabled ignition was going to stop me. My high school friends and I absconded with that car quite a few times while my folks were away. My buddy Bill even got to drive it when I got a bit too sauced at a high school party. And there were no Ferris Bueller crashes for me - every time I returned it back to its exclusive spot in the garage in perfect condition.
Dad passed last year, and we're finally sending his beloved 911 to find a new Porsche enthusiast, hopefully to care for it and enjoy it as much as he did. And though it will likely move on from Danville, mom has spoken a bit wistfully that she hopes to catch a sight of their 911 someday, top down, cruising carefree along the open road.
(pictured William "Kim" Flint and his 1973.5 911 Targa)
If you're looking to own an absolutely cherry condition 1973.5 Porsche 911 Targa and cruise around all cool like my dad, the listing just went live on Bring A Trailer. Just search for Porsche 911.

I headed to Paramount, CA, the place Donald Trump used to justify his unprecedented seizure of control of the California National Guard and domestic mobilization of Marines to battle Americans. This is what I found before and after military forces arrived to crush Trump's "rebellion." It's pretty obvious this is just a practice run to see what he can get away with, and distract from his first 6 months of failure.
