@PORSCHE1 @jd-gt350 Thanks Jim!
Work order says"water pump flange 'O' ring leaking at water pump r&r resealed flange 'o' ring.
Never any hint of a over heating problem.
Jim
You mentioned new O-rings and cam gasket. Those aren't typical landmark service items. Did it overheat or have a major engine issue that required a new cam gasket and new O-rings for the cylinders?
Thanks

My observations. ....for what their worth.
The ultra low production S2 cab. is the best Porsche to have and enjoy. This Porsche has been a joy to own and very inexpensive to maintain. It is constantly under scrutiny most think it is a new Porsche model! Over the years we have owned almost every model ('67s up).
All the the combined maintaiance on this Porsche would be 1 visit to the shop for any of the other Porsche's

The removal antenna was placed for our trip home, I like entertaining my self on the road with truckers. I overlooked it's removal before some photos.
Jim
What is the antenna coming out of the trunk right side?
Well, I must admit this is a 1st but each to their own opinion. Yes the rear bumper pads were painted body color. They were not removed but loosen up ( 3 bolts each side ) cleaned, shot with a special primer, painted. I know this because I have directed several 944 owners how to do it.
It was done before I purchased the Porsche the 1st time.
Jim
Was the whole rear bumper re-painted or just the bumperettes? I would want to put them back to factory black. However, when removing them the paint would crack around them on the bumper if they were previously painted while on the bumper.
Paint meter readings have been uploaded to the photo gallery.
More info. on this PORSCHE:
I have now owned it twice, an acquaintance owned it thru 1999, I purchased it from him for 6 years thru 2006, I sold it to another friend he had it for 12 years thru 2018 and I purchased it back now.
My wife and I flew into Tucson had the Porsche serviced and drove back to K.C...1800 miles, over all 28mpg, no fluids added.
I have access to a paint meter and I can confirm the paint is all original, PCAR did not post the photos. The top is a new high dollar($2281.03) euro top, I replace the rubber centered clutch the 1st time I owned it with a Sach clutch pack, pressure plate, throw out bearing, disc.

@Maui928 LM3A as indicated on the build sticker is Guards Red. Correction noted.
Correction needed; the exterior color is Guards Red.
Hi,
Please look @ the CARFAX PCAR provided. For 4 years the owner was able to pull into the Arizona inspection station and have exact mileage to the 1000. The guy should go to Vegas.
The actual mileage was not recored till I had a total service done.
