Less than 50% confident of getting it back by Xmas.
It's been given a good nudge - but the seals and rubbers etc have only just left the States.

Neil, when the Turbo 3.6 was at Jon Pottinger's shop about 10 years ago I recall him saying he was resurrecting a crashed 993 Targa. This car was talked about when I was at CCS and confirmed as the same car. They aren't hiding the history, but it's something to check for.
Neil - you are used to driving cars with 400hp - so anything with only 300hp will feel slow..........
By the way - talking to someone in the know, a 997.2 RS will do 1.10's in road trim and tires at HD, so Macca - your GT3 should be good for 1.08-09 in the right hands.
I wonder if Earl did some timed hot laps in the 991 GT3 he was using for driver training?

I laughed when Doug said he was too worried to drive it, but now I'm thinking the same way. I'll drive it to work tomorrow just because I can, but I'll still be watching every muppet around me.

It's been "untouched" according to Motorscience. Neil - you are used to driving cars with 400hp - so anything with only 300hp will feel slow..........

As an aside, the auction on that WB has been pulled so assume it sold. Interesting unanswered questions on condition, clearly not everyone had green tinted lenses. https://trademe.co.nz/813879426

I was very wary of the power drop when going in to look at the 964 last weekend, but was pleasantly surprised when behind the wheel. I test drove a 993 Targa last year; was sitting on Great North for a few months outside a small dealership. Quite liked it but was a bit rough. Unsure what happened to it, think seller wanted about $45k. As an aside, the auction on that WB has been pulled so assume it sold.
