Default Beautiful 944

So I have been looking around for a while for a 944. Couple test drives here and there, but nothing that really shock me.. Untill last sunday when i check the paper. Listed was an 83 944, so naturaly i call and he was very close by. So I went to check it out. He was the original owner, had allways kept it in a garage and had never taken it out in the rain. The kicker is it only had 57,000 miles on it. The exterior was amazing as well as the interior. Dad and i could not resist, so now being a very proud owner of the first of many Porsche's i deciede to take the first couple of pictures as the sun set this afternoon.

Wow, congrats, from those pictures it even looks in better shape than my '90 S2.

We could not see in the picture, do you have those daunting dash cracks? If not, you really found a great one.

Good Purchase!

Is it just me or is the paint on the front spoiler all chewed up?

Beautiful! Red NAs are always a pleasure to stare at. Even if you don't mod it you'll have fun tossing it around. Keep it clean and have fun! And welcome to RL, your nexus for knowledge and help (and car pics - we love pics).
