Farkas Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 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 . 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Nice! I don't think I've ever seen one in that color. Great time of year to be taking some drives in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Looks good as long as you don't "farkas" the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farkas Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 TITTY SPRINKLES. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2highpsi Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Nice find!! Always loved these cars. They seem to be one of those few timeless stylings. If I ever came across a good enough deal on one I'd snag it up too. Gold BBS wheels would look great. Just no hellaflush on this one.

I remember when you were swapping Jetta front clips onto '90s VW Golfs! 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: 17" BBS E26s http://www.estblshd.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/384405_10151143406605048_264929400047_22298008_1709878037_n.jpg 18" BBS RS http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lztw44wuR01qevbeyo1_1280.jpg What I would do to acquire a set of E26s... they're gorgeous, but it comes with a hefty price tag!

Not Brian Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Christ that is clean. I love those cars, but would never do the pimp color scheme. Also, is that really Doc driving the black one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoMeSomeFun Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Im a fan. My truck has the same color scheme, purple outside, white leather inside. Good pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Those Farkas boys love them some white leather. Great pickup. In my opinion the 964 is one of the best of the iconic 911 shape/style. Will look great lowered and with wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phone2 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Great pickup. That and a VW Ghia are my two favorite body styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
