Default I found my twin!

What a fluke..... what are the odds?

I found my EXACT Targa twin is the Bay Area. All the same options. 1997, Glacier White, LSD, Litronics, Heated 12 way seats, Hi-Fi w/ 6 disc changer and......

the Vin # is only 1 number off mine.

The only differences are because all you guys pushed me over the edge and down the 'slope' (but I love the PSS10's and the clear corners with the silver badge looks awesome! Thanks for helping me spend my money.)

I would have thought that nearly impossible. Cool find!

You should buy it and start a collection.

How did you hook up? That is really strange. Mark's idea is solid.

Great Thread!

It would be really neat to find out just how many 993s were produced in each color... my book Das Buch on the 1973 Carrera RS has all the numbers, how many white RS and so on. There are few enough, for instance Twin Turbos made to create a catalogue. Oh well, sweet dreams I guess!

Happy Trails,

Bert

I know you already thought of this, but I have to say it,--you have to buy it! Imagine the value of TWO identical 993 Targas!!

Move on it!!

I happened to be in Campbell for dinner tonight and was a block from the dealer. The car was stored inside and I only had my iPhone with me, but I managed to get this shot of your car's twin tucked at the back of the showroom. Beautiful car!
