approved my request <strong>to</strong> visit the Classic Workshop, which is<br />
currently located in Freiberg/Neckar, about 10 miles from the main<br />

On September 24, 2010, my wife Libby and I, along with Paul Gregor<br />
and Phil Doty (PCA <strong>Region</strong> Procedures Manual Edi<strong>to</strong>r) had the<br />
unique opportunity <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong>ur the facility and see the project car up<br />
close and personal. The Classic Workshop is in a<br />
non-descript building, but inside it is anything but.<br />
The facility is so pristine that you could eat <strong>of</strong>f the<br />
floor. There is literally no problem Jochen and his<br />
staff cannot solve. With the original drawings and<br />
templates, they can make anything they don’t have<br />
in s<strong>to</strong>ck.<br />
When we saw the project car, it had been<br />
dismantled and stripped, and looked more like a<br />
911T, albeit without an engine and transmission.<br />
The cost <strong>of</strong> such a res<strong>to</strong>ration, even with shipping,<br />
is very reasonable, but more importantly, there is<br />
not another way <strong>to</strong> get a fac<strong>to</strong>ry new 1973 911T<br />
delivered <strong>to</strong> your door almost 40 years after it was<br />
originally in the dealer’s showroom.<br />
You can check out the progress <strong>of</strong> the res<strong>to</strong>ration and<br />
get more information about the Classic Workshop<br />
at http://www.porsche.com/. In the meantime, set<br />
aside some money <strong>to</strong> take a few chances on winning<br />
a truly unique 911T at this year’s Parade.<br />
