Raise your hand if you like GP White... !
 

<<< Both hands in the air!

After almost a year of searching, I finally bought a 964 yesterday - my first ever Porsche!

I am absolutely lovin' this car - I drove it a couple hundred miles home last night, and put another bunch more on today - I can't get enough.

The quick 'n' dirty:
- '94 C2 5spd w/ ~73k miles
- GP White on black leather + factory Sport seats
- Clean original paint that glows, no accidents or corrosion, and previously owned by an elderly Porsche enthusiast
- Almost completely stock
- Mods - Mille Miglia Cup 1's --- Alpine head unit --- aftermarket primary muffler with no secondary muffler (sounds absolutely awesome - gotta love that flat-6 rumble!)

Here it is at a local AutoX today with the silver Cup 1's, next to my friend Dan's 964 with the black Cup 2's:

And, a couple photos from the AutoX - great weather today for an event with beautiful blue skies and nice cool temps:

Most importantly, many thanks to Dan for his help over the last few months while trying to find "the right car" --- much appreciated, buddy.

Looking forward to meeting the rest of the community over the coming years!

Looking good, enjoy.

Sweet!

OK...hand raised.....

Hell yeah. I love your car.

Go Kart, nice C2! Your exhaust pipe is sitting rather low (see second pic as compared to the other C2), could just be in need of a bracket adjustment or as in my case worn motor mounts. Neither is difficult to fix. One just costs a little more. Congrats.

Congrats Adrian.......I had a feeling that you will get something soon.....Sounds like exactly what you were looking for.

Good Luck with it and enjoy it to its full potential....You deserve it....

I'm partial to them. Enjoy.

Welcome to the party!:cheers:

Hummm GP white. In any other car I would say white looks like a rental car, but for a 964 it is stunning. I approve, lol. I looked at that exact car a couple weeks ago. It is a beauty. You might want to look in to the gas smell in the front trunk. There are a few threads on it in the forum.

Very nice - one of only 200! It's funny - when I first started looking to buy a 964 a few years ago, I wasn't a fan of white. But, it has been growing on me quite a bit to the point where I think it is absolutely one of the best colors. Looks great. Enjoy!

Congratulations on the new purchase, it looks great!

Oh yeah! :cool:

after a major redo, mine finally goes into the paint booth this week. GP White of course..

Congrats on your GP White!! Looks great! More pics please.

Where o where did you find that gem ????

Congratulations on your new car !

Drive safely in good health !

Can't beat 'em.

< Oh ya!!!!! GPW :biggulp:

Thanks guys, for all the good words - I am really enjoying the car, it's all that I hoped it would be. Rennlist has been an incredible source of information, and the community here is extremely friendly - a great place to be.


Cheers Andrew - I appreciate it. Your 964 is gorgeous - now that I have one, I think you should hang on to yours :D


Well, I have been looking for quite a while - I found this car on a dealer's website late last year, but it was listed out of my price range and the dealer was not willing to budge at all. I gave up on it and looked at quite a few others - at some point recently, I dropped the dealer a line to see if he was willing to budge on the price yet... and he did, enough for me to be able to buy it. I am very pleased with it.

Many thanks, again, all.

See you on the road :burnout:

This photo rocks, by the way!

Both hands up here!

Great score Gokart - white is THE colour :cheers:

Gotta love GP white......

GoCart, THAT was THE car I was looking for 4 years ago when I happened across my red:
White w/ black interior. Sport seats! Unmolested. A later, all-updates model. Man, that's what my dreams were set on. Good on you! :cheers:

(Funny, till now I thought the only '94's were those WB C4's.)

Definitely this is a car you were meant for. A rare find, indeed.

Has anyone mentioned GP white is the fastest color? :burnout:

Doc

I've really got to take more pictures.

GoKart,
The search is over! Congrats, you ended up with a great looking car. Nice story about the dealer, you were patient (which is tough with such a nice car on the lot) and it all worked out. Great news.

yellowducman,
Yes more pictures. I love those wheels on a 964, simple design and BIG. More pics.

ME!

:bigbye:

WOW ssome nice white motors!;-)

Great buy! I called about that car a few min after you put a deposit down on it. Looks great!

..........

Thanks very much - I have liked it for quite a while, I'm really glad that I managed to buy it after having been interested in it for a few months now!


Yeah, I had heard that - in fact, it was a major deciding factor for me.... :D


Thanks - it was a long hard search, I have seen quite a few nice 964's since I started looking. Lots of nice ones out there - but timing is everything.


Thanks - best of luck to you in your search. Rennlist has been a great help, it is an excellent resource that should definitely come in handy while you're looking. As mentioned, the community here is very friendly :thumbup:

I talked to the owner/dealership and that car was an uber hot commodity. Many phone calls. The owners of the shop were using it as their favorite for daily driver. Note this is a shop that has plenty of TT Porsches, Ferraris, and big Mercs.

As it goes, I hope Gokart does not hate me for telling. Anyway this elderly guy owned the 964 and he traded in for a 996 despite the chagrin and advice of the shop owners not to. This 964 is a nice car. There are a couple of nicks on the bumper, but it is impressive original paint overall. The car is stock, the only mods I could find were the vent kit, nice stereo, and an odd dial for radar. Otherwise it is full rear under tray unmolested. I could not find an oil leak. It was funny the owner knew exactly what I was flashlighting for and said, nothing to find there.

See you at AutoX this weekend...

Really? So you went by and had a look at it before I bought it? I'd be interested to hear more about that if you feel like sending me a PM :D

Interesting story. They had told me the same thing, that the elderly previous owner had it for ~8 years and drove it quite gently. It certainly looks and feels like it was garaged and loved on. I do have some paperwork on the car that shows it was serviced at some high-end dealers (I looked them up) in West Palm Beach, FL and Atlanta, GA. All good stuff.


What...!?? What...?!? Where? What time?

GPW works for me ! :rockon:

pete000 - That is one of the best photos of a 964 I've ever seen!

Balance, color, action, the car AND you, + the Mrs. (I presume). The blurring of ther right rear is fantastic. Was it part of the photo or Photoshopped?

And it's GP Whte.

Without the bra, I think it would have been one of the top three or four 964 pics I've ever seen.

this is great! i like gp white too. my car is black like most of the cars i've owned. never liked white until i started looking at porsches particularly the 964. i like how the contours, the panel gaps and the black trim all show. nice balance of light and dark. very cool.

Yep thats me and my wife doing the "Snake" up to the Rock Store in the LA mountains (neat place for breakfast, Leno's always up there). There is a guy who takes pictures up there every weekend then posts them on his web site. That day he was in a ditch getting a low angles. I saw the flash go off but never saw him.

I just added a bit of motion blur in Photo shop for drama.

I wish I had left the bra off that day ! Oh well not a bad picture.:thumbup:

Pete...we all know its always better w/the bra "off"....

Congrats - I am somewhat partial to GP white too:

Thanks!

Your car is lovely, also - I really really like the coloring of your wheels, with the silver lip, and Carrera script. Very distinctive.

Fn' right I like it! Looks so clean, solid...

Thanks!

I need to drop it on some H+R Green's and 18's like yours - then it will be fully awesome.... :D
