Yes, the color, at first did not attract me, but after seeing it twice I got used to it :-)
It's a good match with the body color, the white instruments and as @Tlaloc75 said:
Aluminum package for gauges, parking brake, and shifter. That’s a sweet interior!

 

I'd be a buyer on this one- that interior looks great and it's a rare combo. Sport seats, full leather package, and aluminum package alone is more than $ 10,000 in upgrades . Sweet car.

 

I think the car looks great, and fair price considering the condition, color combo and options. Its nice, but man, a little too nice. I'd be fretting over every rock chip!

 

I understand. I only like black interior and I hate red or grey. This dark blue is not too bad and does not offend. And looks clean. If I were in your shoes, I would not discount this car based on this.

 

Whoop
whoop
and
WHOOP!

 

In Europe it's a 6421. The 64 is all wheel drive. The 21 is rest of world gearing (which is better than the 20 gearbox in the US).

The car was delivered to Germany originally so I wouldn't worry too much about the gearbox.

No Mike that's incorrect. As you can see on the sticker, it's a 20

In Europe all 993s were 21 gearboxes until a point towards the end of the MY96 build, where Porsche changed to the 20 gearbox. Due to this timing, all of the wide-bodied (non-turbo) cars were 20 gearboxes. Nearly all MY97 and onwards narrow-bodied cars were 20 gearboxes. A few very very early MY97 narrow-bodied did have had a 21 gearbox.

 

I learn something new every day. I thought the same thing that Mike did and wasn't aware of this change. Just always thought the ROW models had the better 21 gearbox regardless of year.

 

Here is the oil "leak" going from under the spare wheel, there is two holes to evacuate any liquid coming into the front trunk
Once the oil drop is outside, with the speed, it "painted" the front bottom with oil.

 

There should be four (in all) little drain tubes that seal those holes from anything getting in from the outside. The left one looks like the correct size, but the other smaller one looks non-factory from here

911.631.259.02

Edited to add - Did a previous owner have a big sub or amplifiers or something screwed/fixed in there? It would explain why the left hole looks somewhat 'used' or worn by something metal. Just guesswork from photos. But get them properly 'sealed' whatever they are.

 

Incredible, you seem to really know these cars perfectly!!!
I do not see how a sub or anything else could take place there, it's the spare wheel location.

 

I've owned one for nearly 15 years, and done most of the service and maintenance myself, thanks in no small part to the info on Rennlist and other forums.

I imagine that the spare wheel was taken out and 'something' screwed in there, but I'm guessing from one photo

 

Orange curry, any idea where to buy the plugs? I redid my car in 2020 and i am missing two of them now.

 

I bought mine from a Porsche centre - ridiculous price for a bit of rubber really, but hey. Cheaper than ebay, surprisingly.

 

Hello everyone,

I'm still waiting for my car, there are some problems with the importation (no CEC in 1996) and the technical inspection refused the exhaust (SCART), the seller is busy fitting an original one.
Otherwise I'm looking for a set of 4 used rims to avoid damaging the original ones, I've already looked a bit but without success... Any suggestion is welcome :-)
Thanks and have a nice weekend :-)
