Default A 964 joins the stable...

Looking forward to welcoming a 964 to the stable.

Happened to find it on CL in my sisters home town. Couple phone calls
and a Starbucks gift card -- I had my sister put eyes on her.

I'm prepared to address whatever is needed -- so I priced it accordingly and
that was before I found out it had all the work recently done. I know it has top issues (open/closes with manual assist), but otherwise should be in good nick.

92 C2 Cab 5-speed 55K miles. $35K.
New tires, clutch/flywheel, dizzy, belts, timing cover gaskets.

Paper work and $$ exchanged -- she gets picked up tomorrow and
should be here late this weekend or early next week.

Look forward to carving up the hill country on weekend fun-runs chasing my wife's 993.

I'll get some more pix when she's unloaded at her new home.

Mike

Seems really reasonable given the mileage. Congrats

Looks like a good one; white is great especially in a cab. For me those wheels just don't work. A few good options out there starting with OEM Cup 1's (first choice but can be a bit pricey) following by the 17" 996 10 spoke wheel; also Fikse FM10's are a good look.

Edit: just saw these on Ebay...exactly what I'd buy if I owned this cab. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-OEM-...NW7wdS&vxp=mtr

You will love your cabby, I have had mine for about three years.
Congratulations on getting one with such low miles.

Very nice. Echoing U7t2, I swapped out my Cup II's for 996 10-spokes on my cab and think it looks great.

Great deal for mileage. Love cabs. I picked up a 91 c2 blk convertible this summer for $16k with 120k on the clock. I may have to register it and not sell it as planned as my 964 targa seems to have major engine issues tonight. See my new post video. hahah

incredible find !

a white C2 cab, manual, and with that kind of mileage would be offered for twice as much overhere in Germany

so congrats
