Default Squeaky Clean 964/Introduction

I am a new member to Rennlist and I must say the knowledge, maturity and friendliness of the members here are second to none. About me: I just received a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cal Poly Pomona. About to start my first job out of college, so looking forward to that. About the car: This 1990 C2 is a one owner car (my father). He drove it sparingly and maintained it meticulously. I have recently come into possession of this fine automobile after driving my Camry around for 6 years and countless summer internships and jobs. I look forward to being a contributing member to this forum.

Here are some pictures I took yesterday.













Thanks for looking!

Hi ilko, I accidentally posted the same thread twice. The mirrors were actually an option back in 1990 and he just put on some Billy HD's with Eibach Prokits. Other than that, bone stock. Oh, it came with an oil leak from factory too which wasn't an option =P. Thanks for the compliments!

Wow! Never knew aero mirrors were initially an option. Interesting!

BTW, since I'm now intrigued, do you mind sharing the option codes so I know what option the aero mirrors are? Thanks!

I'm sorry Ilko. I was misinformed. Turns out that they weren't a factory option. He had them installed at Circle Porsche in Long Beach about a year after he bought the car. The car originally came with the square mirrors. Oops. Learn something new every day...

What a nice rig !!!
Sounds like it's in good hands, too. What is the color, Linen or some sort of silver? Or did I guess wrong completely, it's hard to tell in the late aft. sun...

Thought so, but didn't want to appear rude

Enjoy it!

Sir, you've a good photo eye. Nice angles and light.

Car's a looker, no doubt. Hope to see more of it in the future.




...And -- you get today's honor for Quirkiest, Demi-Cool Car (in the background.)
For those not in the know, residing behind the 964 beauty in the first picture is a 70's blast from the past -- the very stealth Jensen GT.

(Only made for 2 years; a noteworthy, if not successful, mid-70's attempt to keep the f-u-n in motoring in the face of burgeoning regulations. It's Lotus-engined.)

Thanks Barry. I believe it is Linen Metallic? It looks more silver in some light but the linen comes out in the afternoon sun. I should really know the color of my car.

My '90 is Metallic Silver - the paint and option codes are on a sticker on the front trunk lid.
