T-P-sw 69 ML Craig Hester California USA Craig Hester's '68 soft-window 912 in California, USAcar is now white & was clearly dark green originally, as that color is visible under the carpet in the luggage compartment.  Just recently bought the car (8/00) from 3rd owner; my first Porsche & I love it.  Have records going back to '89.  Would classify this as a mid-condition car, but it runs quite well & is driven often.  Plan to completely restore over time & own for many years to come. A very early '68. Interestingly, it appears to have been built before the '68 US safety specs called for soft knob covers & the break-away rear-view mirror, as these are not present in this car.

T-P-hw 74 ML Ken & Diane Testa California USA 74,548 (yes, original); fourth owner attempted to have the car's carburation modified in order to clear smog tests. However, numerous attempts failed.  Although frustrated, this owner continued to prepare the car for concours events.  In 1998, when Senate Bill 24 passed & all pre-'72 cars became exempt from smog-certificat laws, he happily purchased personalized plates for the well-cared for car.  It now is ours, always covered & in it's familiar garage home, sporting it's GR PLUTR monicur.  We love it & continue to care for it in keeping with it's history.
