Welcome to the comunity.
Baltic is my all time favorite color, and very hard to find as well. I settle for midnight blue, but really wanted a baltic.
Congrats on the new ride.

Welcome! You're going to love this site. Use the search capability as there is tons of info already posted on here in the past. I have spent days reading threads about the 964 and the information I've gained has been invaluable.
Like you I chose the 964 because I wanted a classic looking 911 so bad when I was a kid. The 964 is the best of the classic 911's from a refinement and performance perspective.

Welcome!
I parked right by your car a couple weeks back at our local cars & coffee. I gave the car a complete look over and it is indeed a beautiful car. Stunning actually. I posted pictures of it here that day, but didn't want to do a hard sell for someone else's car.
The $19,000 had my head spinning at the time...it was such a pristine car with wonderful mods. for such little money. I spent the whole morning thinking about selling my car and buying MoodyBlu. No engine rebuild at 124K is the only question mark?
The previous owner mentioned that the computer chip was in the wooden box on the driver's side console? Really?
BTW, the motor mounts were really sagging.
A couple pictures from that morning...

Haha, wish I would have seen your post, I was teetering between wanting someone local to check it out, and wanting to keep it a secret. The price was either a little or a lot, depending on the longevity of the engine, guess i wont know until something happens. It has been out several times for clutches, including recently along with a RMS, but can't confirm what else may have been done.
Ah yes, the 5-position "PrompaQ" switch installed by the first owner. I looked that up, company is no longer around, but it lets you switch between the factory "chip", a valet "chip", and three other aftermarket chips of your choice. Right now there is an Autothority and a Weltmeister in two of the slots, but i don't know where these are housed yet. The little wooden box just houses the actual switch, and it so old school i may just keep it!

Been lurking for about a month, but now I am the proud new owner of this baltic blue 964. This is my first Porsche, after falling in love with 911's as a kid over 30 years ago..... I think that was long enough to wait, don't you?
The color L37B and the list of appropriate mods were what interested me in this car:
Ruf wheels
turbo mirrors
4 piston rear calipers
strut bar of some variety
Eibach suspension
Weltmeister chip
+ Autothority chip (5 position "Prompaq" chip switcher)
H4 lights
Euro tail lights
K&N (may switch back to a Wix)
Condition was what sold me, original paint, no squeaks or rattles, no leaks, obviously well cared for by two picky people (I'm the 3rd owner). 124K on the odo, runs like a scalded cat. I decided to forgo the PPI, against conventional wisdom I know, so fingers are crossed that I don't become another statistic
. Price was $19K for the curious, that leaves a little wiggle room before we get to the magic $25K threshold. So far, no issues.
Still in learning-mode right now....going through the logbook full of copious notes, recorded by the first owner. Each change and upgrade to the car is chronicled, along with some owner performance testing, experimentation with different camber settings, oil changes noted, etc. Mobil-1 15w-50 since the first oil change. Learning what all the switches do, etc. Unfortunately no receipts came down to me, so I am reaching out to the first owner to see what else -- if anything -- he might be able to provide.
Here is a pic from the PO. Love the period-correct stuff about this car!
