91 SP on Ebay

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

---Mike:
Small world, I owned a porsche 911E 1971...silver, black leather
interior..sold it in 1977 much to my regret...it was a great
car...left a corvette in my dust on an interstate one time. It was
difficult to hold the pedal to the floor in all five gears....What a
great machine......wish I had it now......oh well
Regards,
Hank
