Just picked up a 1992 964 Targa from San Francisco & did a road trip with my sister back to Los Angeles via Pacific Coast hwy - Put over 500 miles on the car, it has 128K miles on it and drove like a dream..the 964 really is the sweet spot between Classic & Modern..& a low production Targa to boot..What a pleasure it is to drive these cars and only went through 2.5 tanks of gas..and that was while enjoying some of the twisties at big sur & going up hills!
As for the drive, what an amazing drive on the 1, we did 3 days- stopping in Monterery/Carmel then the next day we did 17 mile drive which is amazing as well as Big Sur but had to back track since there is a huge mud slide so you can't pass through the 1 past Big Sur we ended up in Morro Bay- and today Santa Barbara & Venture where there are some huge fires.

its such a great drive. everyone needs to do it at least once. I try to once a year. also nice I you start up north of the bay bridge way up. that part Marin / north of Marin has amazing roads.

Absolutely, Big sur was especially beautiful! Will have to start further up next time.

Your pictures really capture the classic look of the car on the road.
