Very nice example. I like the 73 911T equally.

Ditto. Congratulations! I got to say that's the combination I've been looking for when I was searching back in 2008. Beautiful.

Welcome to the mayhem here at RL993! I do love my 993, but trading away that '73 in Green would be a gut wrenching decision. But I can't argue with your next selection for a Pcar! I too miss my 914 (I'd miss it a LOT if it had been a -6!)

Looks like you have had a great journey through some great air-cooled Porsches. Your latest acquisition will be a wonderful continuation of that journey.

Enjoy.

Someone said it - but are you planning to lower it? You will really love the feel when dropped to ROW with PSS10s!

Guys,

Thanks for all the compliments and the warm welcome to the club!

I had not really even considered lowering the car, but will now look into it.

Would be curious to hear thoughts/recommendations on servicing the car. Prior to the purchase I had a leak down & compression test done. Both came back really good! The car starts and runs perfectly. No issues.

Having said the above, I will be taking the car to the Porsche dealership here in Nashville to have the oil & oil filters changed. I will ask them to give the car a good once over to see if there is any deferred maintenance that needs to be addressed.

So guys, for a car with 21,700 miles that is running exceptionally well.......what things would you ask them to check or do for a first service?

Thanks

Tim
