I bought the car in September and am just now getting around to posting some pics. Somehow iceman let me slide.

My 3 y.o. calls it "Oliver size car" as it is the smallest car of our three and dimensionally fits him.

He really likes the fact that then engine is in the back and he can feel it when riding in his car seat.

The car is an '89 with 79k miles on it. I've sorted the typical issues like sway bar mounts, cold hunting idle and a few electrical gremlins.

Those white Fuchs really compliment the car nicely. Great looking 911

scott that's a sweet ride.......i agree, no tail on the targa and some body colored fuchs, that's a nice period look...

mine was on the blue ridge parkway in the sept timeframe....coincidentally the last time a took a pic ha ha

Thanks guys. At first GP White wasn't my first choice but it is really growing on me as the black accents really set off the car.

The white wheels do date it a bit but that's OK. I've yet to see wheels on a 911 that look as good as Fuchs, no matter the color.

A buddy is trying to convince me to paint the wheels signal green and add a signal green Carrera script to the sides...... I think I like white just fine.

Racingbeat, is your car Chiffon white? It may be the lighting but it appears a little darker than GP white.

An 89 GP white targa..........Nice!

That would get my vote too if you threw on a ducktail and lowered the car...but that's me. Good looking original example.

yep mine is chiffon white, i think 1984 was the only year it was offered as a standard color choice on a carrera. also has the older SC style steering wheel, interior, etc.

That is exactly the route I would go if I do something like the SG script. He already gave me the script to do it so....

I really like the duck tails on Targas so I giving it some thought as the look is easily reversed to stock.

Like the white .she's a beaut!!!!!!!!

I love white Porsches. But, I cannot understand why most of them seem to have white Fuchs. I'm not a fan of the look, and would rather see the standard black finish or polished petals. My point of view only.

The car looks very nice.

White with white wheels are not common and I like the look. Great car

Ed Hughes

I disagree. Most of the white 911's I've seen have had white wheels. At least Targas. I know of 5 in DFW, all had white Fuchs.

Hey Scott...take a look at the attached photos. I make magnetic graphics, hood stripes and stone guards for Porsches. I saw your car and thought of mine. Let me know what you think. Dan

User 4221

Very nice, Dan. You have sold me on the polished lip. I've been thinking about that for a while.

The white wheels were a factory option so the polished petal w/white center may be a good compromise. Or, a signal green center with polished petals and green script.....

Too much to consider for now...... I need to change the tranny fluid and find a fix for the squeaking front torsion bars.
