^ ^ 964 Speedster seats FS
Thanks for the response. Hope you get every penny. Exotic, functionallly light, gorgeous, & OEM. When I saw today's thread announcing group buy for Recaro Pole Positions, I thought it's cool to still see demand for seats that look so similar to the factory Recaro Speedster sport buckets.
Was your red 964 born a Speedster? Is it an aftermarket widebody conversion? Looks great & I luv her hips!

NOS: Porsche family Speedster photo!
Before progressing to the next 993 Speedster for sale that I inspected, enjoy this newly-unearthed shot of Butzi Porsche's birthday gift!
This one-of-a-kind Porsche family rarity was first mentioned by Macca the Kiwi 13 pages ago.

993 Turbo-4 Speedster
[The black 993 WB Speedster on previous pages that I flew to see] was a great excuse for an overseas vacation, & added a first-hand knowledge base of these rare rides.
It also led to me getting to inspect another 993 Speedster for sale nearby.
Most would find the next even more desirable than the above rarity. For example, if you thought a 3.8L was desirable, just wait 'til you see under the the next beauty's coachwork: a custom-made AWD Turbo 993.
featured in at least 2 magazines, 1 of which she was the cover model for.

Here's the silver 993 Turbo AWD Speedster for sale I inspected after the black beauty in previous pages.
A picture says 1,000 words ... or at least three really important ones!

^ ^ "I don't like the Turbo version"
Hee hee...
Seriously -- before I went to see her, I had concerns for what you really wrote. When she was there in front of me, though, [CUE angelic music & rays of heavenly light HERE] it all worked together wonderfully.
Short of putting your foot on her accelerator, the below photo 'keeps it real' regarding the functionality of Porsche parts.
For the real beauty of that tail ... next slide, please:

Lots to like...

I am one that loves the BLING, but Cactus has a point here. When I was doing my car I mocked up a clamshell that I have had for years on my car. With the TT tail, S ducts and clamshell the car is way to busy IMHO. A 993 Speedster with TT "S" ducts and the clamshell are perfect. Just like the 92 America's Roadster I used to have. I put the TT tail on that and removed it the same day. The car didn't need it. I think the 993 Speedster is the ultimate in open air driving no tail needed.

Stealth intercoolers & Smutbmobiles
Mike-- +1 on the following about the Turbo S rear air scoops, etc.
I'd like to see more of the rare America Roadster - feel free to share an archive shot of yours.
While we're dreaming, I'll take your ultimate open air driver (tail-less 993 Speedster with rear ducts), then add stealth intercoolers for twin turbos like Gemballa's or Princeton Wong's [cool discussion / photos dominate all of page 9]. Woot!
Reminds me -- Does Lil' Fart have travel plans for next Monday? Hope you got my e-mail, seeing if the offer's still open for his blue-ness to travel with RLers. I may be at the CO Porsche Parade next week, if I can replace my brake system catastrophe (new ABS pump & lines finally arrived Fri & lines). I'll try to send a follow-up e-m this PM with more details.
If he's not already globe-trotting to Australia & no one else has asked about the PCA Parade yet, consider helping him or one of his entourage pack a suitcase soon!

Mike-- ^ ^ Oh, Smurfmobile. Sorry, my mind was elsewhere. Good you updated that smuffy sig so promptly.
Too bad I missed out, but at least he has good plans with good folks. Quite the traveler now - he's a popular fella. Maybe Full Boost will find a PCA event there, too (Porsche Club of Australia?).
Speaking of Full Boost, his related comment about above topic of rear Turbo S ducts:
