The previous owner of my C4S is a successful French-Canadian rock star. He had a whole slew of nice cars.

Several expired strip tease club membership cards, a little black book with phone numbers and some sort of code, strange cut out of padding underneath passenger side carpet. Hmmmm.... lol.

Hmmm, so you do have a price.

Yes a price... but a very HIgh pRICE.

As for your strange findings... It sounds like a DD.

Doubt it, but if it was, he must have had a short drive since he only put an average of 2K miles per year!

All:

Hate to say it, but my 993 had 6 prior owners. But with only 54k on the odo, I hope it was a garage queen for the first few owners! The one before me was a Brit (like me) who was being transferred to some faraway land. He seemed like a cool guy (he was out fox hunting the first time I called- in Texas!) but wasn't anybody famous. I like to think the other 5 were old wealthy lifetime PCA members who drove the car very gently!

Cheers,

Paul.

First owner was a doctor who had it for under 2 years; second owner is unknown and had it for a year; third owner was a Microsoft VP who owned it for ten years and only put 10K miles on it. I bought it from the third owner who is an engineer and owned it for under a year.

No problem there. I would rather have a nice 993 with 6 prior owners than a thatched one with only one owner.

Sketchy-looking dude.

95 C4 993

A real cool guy who I never met until 6 months after I bought another vehicle from him: my 77 Bronco Sport.

We are friends and he lets me use his home in Incline Village, NV (Tahoe) every year.

Just an all around, great guy, and has since bought 2 C4's (a 996 and 997). His cars over the years is impressive---but doesnt keep them for more than 3 years or so from what I can tell.

First owner was a real estate developer in Oklahoma. Second owner was a doctor in Oklahoma.

first was a Beverly Hills MD, apparently he had quite a collection of cars, second was a fireman from Huntington Beach. I am the third owner.

C4S I think was originally bought by a doctor, then somehow sold after 4 years/60K to either a Levi's or Gap executive who took it to 7 years/100K. Commuter car for both, 15K/yr like clockwork.

Yellow car was picked up someone here to be a track rat somewhere back in the South. (If I heard the story straight.) He is/used to be on here in the early days. Then Kim bought it to be the basis for the faux RS. After a couple of years it came to me.

RSA? No idea, other than the guy traded it to a import specialty guy for an M5 about 6 years ago. 130K on it, not one receipt. For $18K, as long as it had a clean title I really didn't care. It WAS supposed to be immediately stripped and become a replacement for the other RSA I'd wrecked in a race at Sears the previous fall. 6 years later, well we see how that project moved along.

Going into the way back machine, the best early 911 I ever had came to me from an original owner. A black '79 coupe owned by a heart surgeon up the hill from me. Even though I'd never worked on the car, the guy stopped by one day (I was running a Porsche "shop" out of my garage when I was going to law school) and asked if I wanted to buy it. This car came from the factory black. By 1992, it was so faded it was basically white. The interior was completely trashed. Maybe the oil had been changed 5 times. What a mess! But it had never been hit. Beater SC's were still going for about $10K then. He told me $5K. I had just bought another car and didn't have that much laying around. Guy left the car with me a few days later with a signed title and said he trusted that I'd pay him when I sold something.
