Default Got my first 911 today!

After a second, much longer test drive, looking over a stack of receipts, and getting to talk to the mechanic who took care of the car for 7 years for the PO, I bought my first 911 today!

It's a black '76 Carrera clone with a lightened flywheel and Bursch exhaust...

Can't wait for 5 o'clock to come so I can go drive it!

Thanks to everyone who gave me shopping advice along the way!


Jeff

Congrats. Something is weird about the tires/wheels. The tires look too low profile or the car is riding high. What size are the wheels and tires?

Hope the car treats you well.

Grats! on the new toy. I remember my first day like it was yesterday...no other feeling quite like it.
Looks like a no-sunroof coupe. +++++ Enjoy it in good health.

Is it a 2.7? Be sure to add some better pics once you get a chance.....

Enjoy,
Michael
