Default My new 964

Details on the car is 1992 C2. I am the 4th owner. All records from new. 155k miles. Top End rebuilt approx 7k miles ago. Color is coral red metallic, which is pretty rare for a coupe. I've seen a couple targas and 1 other coupe in this color. The car has a LWF, Steve Wong chip, cat delete, cup pipe. This car screws. It is definitely faster than my stock 993. It needs some minor work cosmetically, but she will make a very nice driver for me. I will post a bunch of better pics when I can get it outside. Currently snowing at the moment.

Well bought; car looks very familiar to me. Thinking it was owned by a mechanic who attended a cars and coffee in Middletown, RI last fall. Would benefit from some Cup 1's IMO.

The original owner was from Maryland then on the Connecticut, then for the last 6 years it has been in NH. So most likely a different car. I am in NH as well, but just moved from RI last year. Are you from/live in RI? And cup I's are in the works.

It was never listed. I saw it parked a few times in the parking lot of a popular local restaurant and I made a phone call and left a voice mail message with the owner asking if he knew who the car belonged to. A few months later I get a phone call from the restaurant owner and turns out it is his car. So I made offer, checked the car out and bought it. It does need some cosmetic work, the drivers seat has some foam missing it is in very bad shape. The interior carpets need some work. There's a few minor dents that PDR can remove and it'll need some touch up here and there as there's a few nicks that Dr. Colorchip most likely won't cover up. I'll probably end up respraying the front bumper. The fact that one of the most reputable mechanics in the area who a lot of RL'ers had do their top end, did the top end on this about 7k miles ago just sealed the deal for me.

Congrats. Looks like a beautiful car! What are your plans for the car besides fixing the cosmetics? How will you be using the car?

Thanks!! Other than sorting out the cosmetics and a set of cup I's, I have no other performance mods in mind. I have a 76 Toyota fj40 and now the 964 so I'll just be using it to run some errands, go for a blast through the mountains etc. Two kids consumes most of my time so when I get the chance to hop in a fun car I will do it as often as possible. I am hoping that some Porsche clubs have some meets at the new Club Motorsports in Tamworth, NH. I have no plans to track the car but from what I hear the track layout is really nice and it is a great area to have some meets.

I've never seen a picture of Coral Red on a 964 beyond some ad photo decades ago.
Always coveted one.
Well done, sir. Well done indeed!
