Porsche was well into development of the new 911platform with an introduction of a six cylinder power plant, whilereserving a special place at the same time to keep the former 356engine available for select buyers. After years of parts design andavailability of this four cylinder variant, Porsche knew it wouldbe foolish to simply abandon the engine that buyers had come tolove for its ample power and reliability. This engine would betransplanted into the newly designed body shape in 1965 as the 912model. It offered great weight distribution, excellent handling,and strong fuel range. Immensely popular, affordable, fun, andsporty, the Porsche 912 had a place on the showrooms through 1969before it was discontinued.

Both were incredibly gifted in academics,and enjoyed mountain climbing, hiking, and skiing in theirretirement. The car was their sole pride and joy for transportationand they held onto their treasure until 1990, only changing handsthrough formal trust after their passing. This gift was handed overto their lifelong friend, Dr. Richard Smith, in April 1991. The carspent only one year in Santa Fe, NM with Alexander Brownlee afterDorothy was buried one year earlier.

Dr. Smith had the Porsche professionally shippedback to Park Forest, IL with only 89,696 miles on the odometer.Having been largely unused during Mr. Brownlee's later years, itwas in need of some basic cosmetic restoration along with some newBoge shocks, Dansk exhaust, etc. Dr. Smith elected to have theentire engine rebuilt in March 1992 at Bug Clinic, Inc. based inSouth Chicago Heights, IL. At the incredible cost of $6500, theoriginal number's matching 1582cc engine (#750030) was meticulouslyrebuilt from the inside out with new pistons & cylinders, pistonrings, all new main & crank bearings, rod bearings, camshaft &lifters, crankshaft seals, pushrods tubes, intake valves, rebuiltfuel pump, oil sending unit & temp sensor, oil lines, all filters,ignition wires, distributer cap, rotor, & points, rebuilt Solexcarburetors, resurfaced & balanced flywheel, flywheel gasket,resurfaced pressure plate, clutch release bearing, new clutch,valve cover gaskets, and more!

After severalyears of enjoyment, Dr. Smith decided to part ways with the Porschein May 1997 with 93,083 miles on the odometer. The next owner wouldbe Virgil "Bo" Leslie of Fort Wayne, IN. He immediately decided tohave the car completely stripped to bare metal, totally repainted,and all new window seals, lenses & headlamp seals, all weatherstripping, bumper seals, and fender seals installed. The processbegan with a rust free body that was stripped for all trim, chrome,and window glass. It was repainted superbly with a base coat/clearcoat application to smooth, glasslike results!
