Congrats on a beauty of a car, well done Sir. Midnight Blue on a MY97 993 is fairly uncommon as Ocean Blue was the default "metallic blue". And 97 narrow body coupes were only produced for North America until the end of 1996 (https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...993-coupe.html)

This site is a great place for advice on how to go broke...........sorry I mean stuff you can do to your car. Beyond the usual maintenance, a suspension overhaul is something I'd recommend first.

Enjoy the next 170000 miles.

The car looks great esp for the miles, it really proves what a difference with good previous owner(s) and maintenance can result in and yes nice camera shots too!

Enjoy

Great car! Unless you bought that car from Doug Henning (Flying Yogi, there is no way those seats have not been refinished.

Enjoy!

Congratulations and great looking car you got there! Seeing that you're in Davidson county, please come over to Cars & Coffee in Coolsprings on Saturdays to meet other 993ers.

AAAAARGH!
I hadn't noticed this before. Now you've ruined things for me and I won't be able to enjoy my car! Thanks a lot, Ed!

Hey southsong!
I have been to C&C and met some fellow 993ers, I will be on the lookout for you next time!

Default down the slope

not many cars that clean with that mileage, and if they haven't been replaced already...first mod=shocks/struts/coilovers to lower her a little.
