Weak Dollar Equals: Another One Lost to the Germans

This Porsche should have been mine. Bill Breaux, son of the former senator from Louisiana, had the 911 for sale out at his place on Maryland's Eastern Shore. $12,000. A great deal for an original '74 with a rebuilt engine, squeaky brakes and funky '70s color, despite a hot start issue. After a drive I called him back to offer $9,000. A German had already wired the money, car sight unseen. He paid full price. Plus shipping. Car is on its way.
