Add me to the firing line.  I didn't actually sell one, but just as bad, I 
failed to acquire one.  Guy wanted a '69 911 I had so bad he offered me his 
gullwing AND a Beetle to drive in exchange.  I almost did the trade but I 
took the gullwing on a 60-mile trip to have a really familiar wrench look 
it over, and he found a bunch of things in poor condition.  I got such a 
terrible headache from the unbalanced tires and the exhaust leaks into the 
cabin I just couldn't see taking on the trouble.  That was before the 
Porsche developed the first of two burned pistons from an intake manifold 
casting that was porous and opened up when heated up.  Had I only 
known.....  The SL I ended up with was a 230.
