To forget about the 456GT we found a great replacement that is easy to own. We found a 99 911 convertible that just had a replacement engine by Porsche. After the previous block cracked (the early water cooled blocks are notorious for having some issues) it was replaced by the boys from Zuffenhausen 2500 miles ago. A new heart in a mature body. With the weather in Atlanta it is a great car for the boss to potter around in. She loves it. And a happy wife is a happy life.
