Very cool, and very encouraging! Loved the look on Tyler's face when they were running up the tach in 4th gear! LOL!

Thanks for posting!

A worn engine is nice and loose.. That makes good power. I expected 240 at the wheels when I saw that article.

There is another STEAL hear for a 99 996 convertible with 120000 miles on it. The late 99 is THE car to have so Jake Roby says. This has got to be the deal of the century with all service records coming with the car.

Prospective buyer should ask about what happened to the passenger door. Notice the big basketball-hoop sized area were the paint doesn't match from any angle...

Still, a seemingly great buy for someone!

One day people will listen to me about early 99s, they are THE cars to have.

Other than the IMS being almost certainly double row, what changed between the earlier and "later" 99s to make early "the ones to have?"
