keep us posted, you know the brother's are gonna want first crack at that beauty ...
Yup. Trying to gauge the market...103k mi, stock, but tranny, suspension and clutch will be from 43k mi car. Nose will be freshly painted.

Only blemish really is a patch on the cab top (not pictured). Trying to figure out price. Had someone interested in shipping it back to Germany express interest already, but would love to keep it in the US...

So .. your swapping out the tranny because it's a re-geared box with better ratio's and you want to put it in your new coupe? and the suspension swap is back to the stock suspension from the coupe or is that R.O.W. or something?

On the cab it is regeared and such a huge difference, plus with LSD. Susp on the cab is the JIC/Cross. So swapping both those to the coupe for street/track duty. Cab goes back to stock and unfortunately for sale since I can't have two 911s in Manhattan...

Yes, I think I recall reading your thread on the re-gear .. quite expensive IIRC but a BIG performance boost .. as good as most ECU remaps etc. ...
Anyway, I'd bet storing a car in Manhattan is prohibitively expensive ... I know in S.F., unless you own a row-house with a basement tandem garage ... forgetaboutit.

Congratulations on a beautiful car. Storage costs in Manhattan are nothing to scoff at for sure. The roads and aggressive drivers are enough to worry about.

I'm guessing it will look remarkably familiar

Just not the big silver shiny bit poking up under the rear wing...

Yes, it does. My first 993 was the same. Looking forward to it. Iris blue is a good second choice blue though too...really pretty.

Congrats on the new ride.

In terms of wheels, I would be willing to trade a pristine set of 18" BBS Sport Classic IIs for your Cup wheels.
