Unhappy Good By Old Friend

I said good-by to my 964 today. I really looked it over and I just can not believe how much damage she took from the tornado. They created a new F class for it, F6. It had calculated winds over 400 mph. It even bent the front strut brace and the head unit is rusted in the dash and wont come out. At least the engine and tranny may be OK. The rest I would not trust. I have bought a 993 to take her place.

I'm sure sorry to hear this......but wow, it took a new F6 tornado to take on the 964. They are tough. Thankfully you're OK.

sorry for your loss, I can't fathom the devastation. The important thing is you get to drive again, If you sell the engine / tranny private party, at least you get to know it will breath again.

I Will at some point get another 964. I just could not find one I liked. Most of the white ones have int colors that I really did not like. Also, I'm looking at buying back my 964 and making it a track only car. I waiting to see what the price would be.
