I couldn't agree more with you. I've always loved the sexy style these cars have. Thanks for the compliments on your last post as well.
Sincerely,

I bought my car almost 2 years ago and wasn't even thinking about resale.
I wanted this particular car and am glad I got it. I dont drive it much but when I
do I absolutly love it.
I put alot into it after purchase and am about to do more to get the car where I
think it should be. No mods, just getting it to near new condition.
There were a lot of people who gave me a hard time about what I paid and what
they offered or thought it was worth. Well now for simular examples of same milage
cars the price is far more than I paid. I have been contacted by numerous people with
all kinds of offers to purchase this car, but I'm keeping it. I have really been considering
buying another so I can drive it more as I dont want to pile the miles on this car, but I
do love the RUSH of driving it.

Lance , when I purchased the previous owner neglected some maintenance items.
I took the car to a friends shop..Bodymotion. I had a complete tune up, new brakes, new
rotors, new fuel pump, new mastercylinder had all the curb marks removed from the wheels
and then clear coated, all new tires. I had the body sanded with 2000 to remove any swirl
marks then buffed out. There was more I just dont have the reciept in front of me.
All told probably about 10K. It's now going to get new carpet, floor mats, new rear lights
and I'm going to have the front trunk repainted because it has some minor chips that drive
me crazy when I wax it.
All of these things weren't necessary its just that I like it to be as new. I'm probably going to
order new Speedlines and have the bolts chromed then sell mine when I get them.
I didn't purchase to flip it or turn a profit ( I have a job to earn money ) I just really like it
and want it the way I want it.

Hey bad boys1, to me thats the fun of owning this car is trying to renew it little by little it always gives me something to look forward to. Did you sand it yourself then buff it or did you have someone do it???
Do you know what they buffed it with??? what compound i mean??
THanks

To me and many others your car is legendary. Although I liked the 964T when it first came out the BB movie really closed the deal and made the 94 stand out, always wanted one since. I never plan on selling mine either but I said that about my 74 RS clone and after 19 years I finally broke down and sold it. There was only one car for me to trade that car in for and it was the 94 turbo. There really are no newer cars I can say I lust for the way I did the '94 although there are many I appreciate and enjoy. So now I just add them to the collection, but they are still nothing compared to the 3.6T.
I just purchased a cherry '93 C2 for daily driving and my 944 is for sale. I love the rush of the turbo but save that fun for the special days. I too love to spend time cleaning and improving my car. I am one of those strange Concours people who loves to clean and show the car. Although that doesn't prevent me from using the car to its fullest when the time is right.

Jerry.......I had all the work done by Bodymotion...They have done work on other cars I have
owned and they always do a great job. When I say they sanded the car, the 2000
or 2500 grit is like using a smooth piece of paper, it just removes light swirl marks
and doesn't hurt the clear coat. I don't know what they use to polish with after.
Anthony.....How are you?...I hope to attend some events this year and look forward to seeing
you guys. I still put that movie in occasionally and crank up the volume, my wife
thinks I'm a little nuts........maybe. If you get a chance pick up the special edition
of the movie and listen to the directors commentary. The director Michael Bay
tells why this car was used and then says " Some day people will say, hey thats
the car from the movie, that car will be worth something someday" I always
get a good laugh at that part. .......BTW I was going to contact you soon to see
if you had the info from the guy you bought the Speedlines from as I want a new
set. There's nothing wrong with mine, I just want new and have the bolts plated
like that set in the thread about the Speedline restoration. Those wheels look
incredible!
