Porsche_356_Steve.jpg

After getting out of the Army in August 1974, we moved to AL for me to go to Social Work school in Tuscaloosa. While home on break the next year, I found this 1965 356C Porsche at Leveridge Motors. I didn't know till much later that it was such a good deal because it had a 1957 engine in it, not to mention a few other flaws, like leaky heat exchangers that brought engine exhaust into the cabin. I managed to drive it to AL while only killing a few brain cells, but when we got ready to move back to OKC, we loaded it into the back of a U-Haul truck, with all our other earthly belongings, to bring it home. My uncle Wayne, a truck driver then, arranged for us to back the truck up to one of Roadway Trucking Company's loading docks to unload the Porsche. Later, Papa Davis helped me remove the engine and replace the valve guides, in the garage of our house on Village Drive. I drove it till I quit work at the VA to go back to school, at which time I sold it and bought a VW bug.
