WTB: 964 Turbo...

Yes but look at the bumper closely it has a small frown to the right side. If you look at the under garage pics you will see it's a bit scrapped. The front left suspension looks like it's sagging in some pictures.

It is not as easy to find a turbo as it was a year ago. Nearly all pre-1998 Porsche's have seen some form of increase. The 964 and turbos especially have seen a dramatic increase. The 3.3's can still be found at reasonable prices if you look long enough. You just missed a nice low mileage one for $57k not too long ago but not your color. I think limiting yourself to your color choices could prove difficult in this market.
I will warn you I have been following the 3.6T's since 2001 and have seen just about every known example trade hands at least once, almost all of the cars I have seen for sale in white have had one major issue or another. So finding a white one that is a good clean car might not be so easy. There are a few out there but I haven't seen a clean white one for a while now.
As far as the LSD it was an option on the 1991 cars and I have come across a number without something I could not live without. The 20/100 is notorious for its noise some unfortunately are much louder than others. Even adding the right additive only lasts a short time before the noise comes back. I have boat loads of correspondence from the original owner of my car and Porsche and the end result was it is inherent to the car and live with it. He sold the car because he didn't feel a $100k car should sound bad like that. All I can say is I am glad he did. I can live with the noise it isn't that bad.
Speedlines have been released again by Porsche last i checked they were a little over $10k a set.

The polished never went out of circulation as they have been available from the exclusive department continuously for as long as I can remember (I cannot speak to availability through PCNA) ... but it looks like the painted are back and they were unavailable for a while. Not sure why the polished versions are listed as 3.3 Turbo wheels though?
A noisy LSD is part of the charm ... and perfectly normal.

IIRC it was only a problem with the first sets released of the painted centers. There was a while when the only polished centered wheels available had minor blemishes in the clear. I purchased a set and had to send wheels back several times for exchange. Unfortunately after all the angst I decided the polished centers did not work well with the cobalt paint so I sold them. Wish I kept them IIRC they only cost about $5k new back then but hindsight is 20/20.
There was also an issue with some of the bolts having a blueish coloring unlike the originals.

You mean "SPEEDLiNE" or "SPEEDLINE"

At some point in the near future I will contact my Porsche dealer parts contact and see what kind of price he can give me (10% over their cost).
