I thought that I would post this in the 911 forum since early on I was set on picking up a 1984-1989 coupe. I has searched dilligently, but had come up with a lot of poor examples. After a lot of guidance in this forum I was told to seek out the 964. Having driven a few, I really enjoyed it, a little bit more than the 3.2. My search for a nice 964 led to this vehicle shown here. I am sorry the pictures are so crappy. I just detailed the car and wanted to leave it in the garage. I will take some more when I bring out sometime soon.
The car was purchased from a fellow Rennlist member just outside of Boston. It is a 1991 911 (964) it was purchased with 91k. The car came with Fiscke wheels, a custom stereo with subwoofer and remotes. Very nice system, best I have heard in a car. All the manuals, service records, inspection reports, car covers, car fax. The car is a really well documented speciman. It is Oak Metallic Green. Kind of like a hunter or forest green. Has a tan leather interior.
I flew out from Chicago and drove the car home. It was a whirl wind trip, trying to make it back to work on Monday, leaving Saturday night, but I sleep for an hour and drove the rest of the way. The car ran like a champ. The best touring car I have ever been in. So far I have only driven the car a few times since it has been home, but man is it incredible. That engine sounds fantastic, I don't think you could ever get tired listening to that. As of this point the car really doesn't need anything, but to be driven. It feels nice to have a Porsche waiting in the garage for you. I have waited for this for a long time. Thanks again to all the members on 911 forum for listening to me and pointing me in the right direction. I share these crappy photos with you!

Congratulations. Oak green is an uncommon color.

Welcome!

Welcome, lovely car! My first was a 964 and I loved it. Now you can work your way up to something with impact bumpers

I love the 964! Tremendous cars, and much maligned, sorry to say. But because of this, they offer the best bang-for-buck 911, IMHO. Yours is a rare --and beautiful-- color and nice interior combo. Enjoy that beauty!

Thank you all for all the kind comments, I will post some additonal pictures this next weekend. Weather has been kind of touchy lately. I love the green color, its very rare, but really nice to look at. I have personally always wanted a tan interior. Eventually, I might work up to crash bumpers. The 964 is a great valve right now, but almost anything is these days with the Porsche market being soft.

Ahh you bought it from a fellow Rennlister. When he posted pics of this car I loved the color/wheel combo on this 964, great looking car with a not so every day color.

congrats!

I am surprised it wasn't snapped up. The car sat for a while before I came across it. Your right with those wheels it looks solid.

looks fantastic streetfighter.
must be the best feeling in the world driving one's own newly owned 911...

...thinking about it maybe its the 2nd best (jv911's avatar reminded me of the best, but anyway it's a very close 2nd!)
congrats!

A very nice example. You made an excellent choice!!

964's are 'much-maligned' by people who don't like more torque, better suspension, better A/C, etc., etc... They're a great value, IMO.

You picked up an excellent 964 example from a fellow RL member in a unique color combo. I remember the ad and details quite well. Forget what others say about the 964 as Bearclaw stated it best:

Streetfighter

I couldn't agree more, the 964 is a great value. Its a great feeling to finally have your own 911. Every time I start that thing up I grin from ear to ear. Such a beautiful sounding engine. Again, thank you all for the kind words.

As a 964 owner and a 3.2 Carrera owner, I too agree that the 964 has a poor rep that really isn't all that deserved. Yes, the early 964 motors can leak, but it's a relatively rare thing that the leak can be catastrophic. Otherwise, they are solid cars and drive exceptionally well.

I also remember the add for this Oak Green (one of my favorite colors!) 964. Congrats!

Congrats on the car. I'm a new 3.2 owner and really enjoy it. You're car has a very classic look to it. I traditionally don't like after market wheels but with the color combo, I'd agree that your car is a true beauty!
