Default My New 89
This is my first post after joining Rennlist. Been lurking for a while and learning. Several weeks ago I happened across a 1989 930 Cabriolet for sale by the second owner who had it for 18 years and had all original books, window sticker, original bill of sale from dealer when new, and every receipt back to new. Reasearched 89 930's and found that it is somewhat of a unique car and has the classic look that I have wanted ever since buying a new 1975 911S. Made an offer and now it's mine.

Hi and welcome :-)
Nice looking car and a cool story to boot.
Sounds like you lucked out in finding this beauty.
I see you have another flat engined car as well.

That was a score. 89 930 cab is a nice car. My brother has one in Grand Prix white. Enjoy.
