re: Minty-- I tracked down & spoke to the original owner of the car today for about 30 minutes. Very interesting conversation. He's 83 years old and was also in the roofing industry like I am. He assured me he never had any paint/body work done car and has no reason to mislead me. He was a little miffed that the car got flipped, but glad it will get a legitimate home. Complete records dating back to the day he took delivery is exhaustive. I'm satisfied and will be taking delivery this week. I appreciate everyone's feedback!

Thank You Tonymission I believe after two weeks of water running into my basement it’s finally stopping. Wrist is feeling better so back to buffing and assembling Talia

Welcome to the Mint Green C2 family.

Yours and mine are the only Mint Green C2 5 speed coupes I have ever seen in the states.

Well done and don't worry about what you paid for it. Enjoy it.

Congrats.

Probably not a bad deal, I just could not get past the numbers about the motor. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think so.
$50K after registration and taxes for a 130K mile C4 is strong money anyway you look at it. It does appear well sorted though and will not need much work.

Do ACs work that well in 964s or is that a product from a recent recharge?

Thanks to everyone for the kind words! I feel very grateful for the opportunity and to be able to add something like this to my stable.
I'll post up some shots when I get it... I honestly can't help myself and know the car is original, but I at least have to do the suspension on it and keep all the original parts. Can't have that beauty sitting like a 4x4!

Happy to be in the exclusive club Joe! Thanks for the chat yesterday, would love to meet up with you some day in Scottsdale when I'm down there for business.
Not too worried about what I paid since the seller took a Rolex that I forgot I had in a safe (I'm more of a gym shorts and apple watch kind of guy) and some crypto that had been mooning since January. Almost free money! :P
