Have you checked out the forums based on your side of the Atlantic

Have someone check for rust on the bodyshell, after 25-30 years of exposure to salt and moisture in Europe can take a toll on the galvanized steel.

I think the 80's 911 are magic and the pricing seems to hold its own thru any economic crisis . In the US a 85 carrera with 30,000 miles is sitting at around $25k.
Check this one out and at the end of the day really the price is not out of line???

For $37K I would be looking at a 993 instead.

I know what you are saying but 20 years from now?. also I have owned a 993S and I got bored with the gearing. Now I have an 88 Clubsport with a 3.8 and still find myself looking at this car

There has not really been an economic crisis in the US that wasn't propped up by "Ben Benanke/Alan Greenspan"......now that the FED is out of bullets, I suspect the REAL crisis is about to begin......there is only one precedent to Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP).......can you say J A P A N !! 20 years of misery....at best, were on year 10.

Sorry for the offtopic.

To OP.....Good Luck.....the HUNT is just the start of the fun !

Hello. I receive the pictures during the day.
I might say that the 3,2 is prbably the best to start what i want to do ultimately.
But what scares me the most is the lack of ABS... But I guess the brakes are still usable and easy.

I keep you updated today

ABS slows you done (literally ) why would you want it!

frenchlover

I might want it because I am a pansy...:P
No I am more and more attracted to the 3,2.

I know these are NOT 3,2!!! But he does similar things with the 3,2.

sounds pretty good.

Sacrebleu Raphael ...

You don't need ABS with a 3.2 911,the braking power is more than you will need and it's a lot more fun to brake when YOU want not when a computer tells your car to stop

I drive on the track alongside cars with ABS,traction control,power steering,drivers with PMS,etc ... and i have more fun than them ... lol
Cheers !

Ive never been concerned about lack of ABS.. As long as the brakes have good modulation and feel you should be absolutely fine.

frenchlover

I see...this is what I thought. I think I would love it.
I am still waiting for my friend's pictures.

thanks

A- There is nothing wrong with a properly tuned 915 trans. Many of the best 911's in the world have them.

B- 993's are pretty damned awesome too.
