One of my favorite cars, captured wonderfully. Lake Underwood and Briggs Cunningham drove one to class victory at Sebring, after which Lake kept the 904 in his VW-Porsche dealership window which I passed as often as I could. The dealership was named Air Cooled Motors.

Years later when I had my first Audi (100LS, I think), it consumed oil too quickly. I took it to Air Cooled Motors, by which time Lake had added Audi to the dealership. Lake himself did the mechnaical work, taking off his expensive suit jacket, Hermes tie, and rolling up his shirtsleeves.

Stu, I met a guy who bought a used and raced 904 a while ago. His club friends said: "That´s worth a fortune and must be restored to perfect condition for car shows" (which is better than new of course). I asked him if the car has any mechanical issues which he denied. The pre-owner raced it and mechanically it was in very good shape. I recommended to leave the car as it is and only care for the needed work like technical inspections. He saved a LOT of money AND has fun DRIVING it. On top of that most events he visits LOVE the used look and he got invited everywhere he goes. In case he meets other 904s, his car is the one people love most :)
