about us
FOUND Motorcars started with a book I wrote a few years back called FOUND. The Lives of Interesting Cars and How They Were Discovered. A Novel.
I've loved 'interesting cars' since a kid and have, more recently focused on original, untouched automobiles. While I also appreciate nicely restored cars and have a few in my collection, I do LOVE unearthing truly original special cars.
Since retiring from a career in technology I decided to see where the classic car world would take me. I've opened a small dealership just outside of Seattle with a focus on finding cool cars and completing the necessary work to bring them back to reliable, thrilling rides. Some for sale, some probably not. If you see a story you like please let me know.
1967 Porsche 911S
Softwindow Targa
Unrestored, fascinating detailed history, 1st year of the "S", 1st year of the Targa, 1st year of the iconic Fuchs
The '67 911S has always been a special sports car. But finding a highly original soft window Targa--the top of the line for Porsche in 1967-- is like finding hens' teeth
