Kent, thanks for posting. Pretty cool having them "reunited" after 15 years. It would be interesting to find their actual "birthdate" (PCNA will give you this with a COA). Kind of like a 15th birthday party!
Did I mention I LOVE these cars? Oh......not to be greedy but....MORE PICS!!

Raised the kid right... same car gene as his dad, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, etc etc...
The beautiful "puppy" who just turned 2 belongs to Kent's brother, who is also the proud owner of a new Boss 302- may not be a Porsche, but is one hell of a car too...
Since he's nice enough to let me now and then, I find driving a 993 again sure is fun. Never should have sold the '95 coupe, but at the time it seemed like a good idea to trade it on a 540i sport 6 speed as we needed a bigger back seat!!

Pretty unbelievable that consecutively built cars would both end up wearing Iowa plates.
Both are nice cars too.
I'm still harassing the owner of 'my' TB 993 to sell & will continue to do so....

The turquiose car is mine. I bought it to go with my 997. I have always thought the 993's are one of the best looking Porsche's ever built. Kent's brother polished it last weekend which really brought the color out. It needs the correct radio, front hood shocks, and a few other small items attended too. But will be a great weekend car. It has 34,000 miles and I bought it from a mutual friend in Clearwater, Fl.

Beautiful cars!!!
We were at the 356 Holiday a few years ago in Aspen. We had our 55 Outlaw at the time. At the concours we saw two 55 Continental coupes next to each other so we went up to check them out. Talking to one of the owners, telling him that we had a 55 also, Robert asked what his vin # was. He said 54133....and the car next to him was 54134!!! After Robert got himself up off the ground he told the guy our vin #......54135.
