German Purple Money Eater.

I got myself into a car that I've patiently been waiting for, and finally the right deal came up.

 

I stumbled upon this gem in Logan, OH at a price I could not argue after poking my head around rennlist and etc. for some time now. It's a late '91 Porsche 911 C2 with 104k miles, up-to-date records, recent top-end reseal and a PPI from Byers that looked promising. Pretty happy about the color as it is considered a less common color, and the car itself is far from perfect, but still evident it was very well taken care of. A lot of people have great things to say about the 964, and many of them have quite a few miles on them being used as a daily, which gives me a lot of confidence. It's a new path for me, and I really don't have many plans other than give the car a good go-over, and address what I feel is important before considering the usual Farkas treatment :cool:.

 

Ultimately, I would like to update to the later "teardrop" mirrors, RS brake ducts in place of the front indicators, H&R coilovers, and some really nice period correct split wheels.

 

Anyhow, here are some pics I snapped:

Awesome car! Congrats and many happy miles in it. Like father like son I see... :)

 

See it at C&C:thumbup:

 

Yeah, I drove my father's p-car and I got the bug... BAD.

 

Is this going to be your daily driver?

 

I have my GTI I'm trying my hardest to keep while affording this 964, and I have a really cheap and beat Toyota Echo I usually tool around in, on crummy days and winter. That being said, I'd like to enjoy the car as much as possible- maybe even daily? Like I mentioned, it's hardly a perfect car and I'm not hesitant to get it out and drive it. From what I have seen as far as parts prices go, they're really reasonable to keep maintained as long as you're not shy with turning a wrench and looking after things.

 

 

Nice! I don't think I've ever seen one in that color. Great time of year to be taking some drives in it.

 

I understood there were around 500 in this color combination of "Purple Metallic" and white leather. I'm a fan! I'm thinking some gold centered wheels would suit the color nicely :)

Like the gold wheel idea...BBS-style...

 

Any pics that are inspirations for how you want your C2 to eventually look?

 

I remember when you were swapping Jetta front clips onto '90s VW Golfs! :lol:

 

I've been staring at this picture for a long time... the car in it's current state is really awful, but I loved it in these stages:

18" BBS RS

What I would do to acquire a set of E26s... they're gorgeous, but it comes with a hefty price tag!
