Default 88 GR Coupe

I have a 997.2 C2S for a weekend driver and have the aircooled bug. Been looking for the right 964 or G50. Does anyone know this car? Thanks

Looks like a very nice car. I picked up my 88 coup with 94K miles. It was using a quart of oil every 300 miles. I had to have the valve guides replaced. Just a heads up that the PPI doesn't let you know about oil consumption.

I don’t know how you are going to look at that car and then be able to walk away from it.

i am a sucker for GR with black leather. This appears to be a nice example.

I'd find the best AC specialist you can locate out there and have a thorough PPI and leak down/compression test. Hopefully they have the original wheel. That Momo is the reason the clocks are all spun sideways -it totally blocks your view and imho adds zero to the driving experience. I picked up an 88 a year ago and it's my favorite toy! Fun to drive.

I dunno, I like the Momo on my 88. I thought the reason the dials are turned is for tracking??

I have a Momo prototipo wheel on my 87 coupe. Spun the speedo sideways so I could see it properly. No problem with tach, but that could just be my particular dimensions.
