New to the stable

Well, I decided I just didn't want to spend $45k-$50k on a GT500 Convertible. So I started thinking of other cars that I LOVE and started searching for a clean, low mileage 964. I've owned Porsches in past but the 964 is my all time favorite model and I've never had one.

I fly to West Palm Beach on Friday to pick it up and drive home. I'll spend a day or two in Florida and get some sun though.

Here she is!

Beautiful car! I love Porsches. Have only owned one, a '68 912 I bought just out of the Navy.
Learned early on that anyone can BUY a Porsche, but it takes a RICH MAN to own (i.e. maintain) one

PM me your cell. I'll give you a ring depending on the time I'm blasting through. No definite plans yet. Only know I'm flying to FL and arrive at noon on Friday. Staying with a buddy Friday night. Not sure if I'm going to swing through Daytona to see my cousin or blast home.

I'm so disappointed in ya brother!

Excuse my ignorance but why is that a 964 and not a 911?

BigMike · Post by **BigMike** » May 15, 2012, 5:10 pm

It's a 911 but type 964 (90-94). All Porsches have a factory type.

type 993 (95-98)
type 996 (99-05)
type 997 (06-11)
type 991 (12- )
Boxster type 986 and 987
944 Turbo is a 951
etc.
etc.

My adventure to get the car went great. I got home Sunday afternoon without any incidents and had a great weekend in FL.

At my buddy's house with his Faux Lambo Kit Car

Thank you for taking the time to enlighten me. I heard all those numbers before and always wondered.
