Frank-- Welcome to Rennlist. Your 964 Speedster looks great.
My kind of RLer: your first 3 posts have been on Speedster-related threads.
Ted-- 1st mentioned by another RLer ~Jan '07. I personally inspected it early '08. Currently pictured in my avatar.
RLer J.A.W.S. has also seen it in person.
Some history info starts @ page 11 of the "Speedster type 993 photo thread" (same thread where I think Fraenkie993 made his 1st-ever post, on this same black Speedster.)
993 Speedster talk most anywhere makes me happy, & I'm often the king of distraction & OT (just look back on this thread ... guilty as charged: I brought up this black Speedster in post #18) ... but consider further non-Butzi posts there?
Many more details & photos of her there.

@Ted: i know this wide body black one since a couple of years, always the same owner, but never used. If i remember correct it was an accident convertible car, which became wide body and Speedster in a unknown garage. The man who bought it wasnt happy with the conditions, so he brought it (2 or 3 years ago) to another garage, the owner Gerhard is a friend of mine, and he got a lot of money to make the car much better. He worked some months on the car, then every part fitted. I saw the car last time about 1,5 years ago, its a really really nice car. The price until some weeks was 75tEUR, now it seems it is only more 42tEUR, but how will you estimate such a car? I own not only my Speedster, but a second Porsche, a 993 Conv., maybe i will offer it to him to switch? If anybody is interested i can help and try to get the information you need in US, dont hestitate to contact me (and i dont earn money with this deal) ;-)
@Curve lover: thanks for your welcome, and sorry for a little bit OT, but from now on i quit this here.....
Best wishes
Frank

Frank-- All good; glad to hear from a fellow RLer who's seen the black one in person. Your account of its history is similar to what I learned while talking to its seller & its maintainer in 2008. Appears it's FS by the same owner &/or maintenance facility where I inspected it. (They seem very good people. I retain contact info for both, but haven't heard from the owner in over 6 months.)
It was hard to walk away from >1.5 years ago, but the uncertainty of USA Department of Transportation importation restrictions can be sizable for Americans. For more: "Speedster type 993 photo thread."
The photographs I took of it in person start here.

I have that issue somewhere...good article and SCarGo did a lot of work on the motor...3.8 litre, knife-edged crank, etc and good looking rollbar hoops....fortunately they were not responsible for the Strosek body kit or the bling-bling chrome wheels
