Default 3.6 Turbo Owned 17 Years

I have been polishing her for 17 years now!
Time has gone by fast, however, I have enjoyed every minute. It was a nice day on Saturday, so took a few photos.

Beautiful example! I’ve owned a few dozen pcars but the 94 turbo has been the holy grail for me.
If you’re ever ready to let her go…

I've always been someone who's held onto his toy cars for longer than most but I've said a record with my Turbo; 16 years.
This long-term ownership has allowed me to spend untold sums of $$$ improving the car both mechanically and cosmetically. I've really enjoys the process though.
I'm currently restoring the interior to eradicate a sub-standard custom upholstery jobs commissioned by the previous owner, returning it to stock (pictures coming).
In a year or two I project that I will run out of things to improve

You have a great looking car!

Surprisingly I haven't had to do much to mine over the 17 years, other than regular maintenance and regular polish and wax. It has been the best car I have ever owned (on many levels), by far! Cheers

I know how you feel. I sold my polar silver RSA to buy the 3.6T in 2005. I wish I could have afforded both at the time!

I bought my 3.6 in 2004 which is now 18 years ago. I would describe the condition after 74 tkm as good, but not so good that it would be too bad to drive her.
Cheers, Fritz

That's great! I am at the point now where driving it at anytime other than early on Sunday mornings, is just no longer an option. I am also paying a lot more to insure it at an agreed value with a collector car insurance company.

Wow has it been that long since you sold the RSA? Boy has time flown by. Gorgeous example and I am sure you miss the RSA but owning a 3.6T is a special treat. Going on 20 years with mine.

This year will be 13 years for me and my 3.3. I feel exactly the same as when I sold my last street motorcycle, I spend more time looking out for idiots than enjoying the ride....... But I do love looking at it in the garage! Now drive with the lights on too, stupid.....

20 years! That's awesome! You are my GO-TO for questions. It was great meeting you and Steve at Amelia Island a few years ago.

I might have a few to ask regarding production numbers both nationally and U.S. for the 3.6 Turbo soon. Cheers!
