Ricky,
That car is "Waldo", my beloved 993TT that I sold almost three years ago when Rufus popped up. That is an outstanding car at an outstanding price. If anyone has questions, feel free to email me: ca993twin@yahoo.com. I have no affiliation with the present seller.

Andy,
Not only do I have no affiliation with the seller... I don't know who the seller is. Perhaps Ignacio moved to Dallas? I have no idea.
I have an interesting tidbit about Waldo... he is the 90th TT ever built, and the first one sent to the USA (built 3/95). He was owned for the first year by PCNA where he was shown at Auto shows. I "believe" this was the very car that Hurley Heywood used to record a 0-60 time of 3.6 seconds... several gearboxes were sacrificed to get that time.

I knew it, I never forget a pretty face!
Looks like it could be a good buy if well sorted out. Dumb question, with the mods would it be hard for a indy shop to service it (outside of the shop that did the install). I am located many states away (in NJ actually). How reliable would the car be? (wouldn't be a DailyDriver, just for kicks on weekends and the occasional DE).

He is? I'll have to send him a PM or perhaps you can let him know to get in touch with us DFW folks so we can get together before Waldo leaves DFW. I used to run behind Waldo on the Malibu Canyon... until Steve has to pull over and wipe the windshield

What's up, couldn't resist coming back to the 951 fold?
Yeah I sold it. Now that I am back in Texas and working from home I will have more time to attend track events. I would take the 993TT but the "boss" has said no
