Default Back in the 964 fold

After selling my 91 C2 to buy a BMW M635 last summer (mistake!) I have been patiently searching for a replacement 964/993. Well I just found a local 1989 C4 and pounced on it. It has high miles (165k) but a top end rebuild and clutch replacement at 125k miles by a well known Porsche shop. Gray/gray, 17" Cup wheels, heated sport seats, full leather (I've never seen this on a non-turbo 964), 92 mirrors, Ruf chin spoiler. Repainted by Automobile Associates of Canton, CT. I'll post more pics when I get it home.

89's=no airbag, so earlier dash. Very nice, great looking color combo. Good luck!

Henry the M6 is a nice car but it is a GT not a sports car. Its great on the highway, has fantastic power at high rpm, its comfortable, roomy and beautiful but its a bit on the floaty side and the steering feel is not even close to a 911's.
