Rob, I phoned Porsche about galvanization. They called me back and the car was produced after the factory holiday in 1975. During the factory holiday the production was changed to galvanize and she is actually one of the first 911 with full galvanization which was good news to me. Of course, after 46 years, the zinc coating is almost completely used up, so today it has to be treated just as carefully as a car without galvanisation. But the fact that it's a California car (when it's not by the sea) and galvanised has preserved her over time. I had two old Targa's in a row from 2013 to 2019, but I think the Coupe is just cool and classic. She also feels firmer and more compact than a Targa.
