First Porsche in 16 years!

Well after 16 years of hibernation the wife finally allowed me to get another 911. She wasn't around the last time, so she really doesn't understand why I never shut up about Porsche's. The budget she gave me was tight ($15K) and the window of her approval I knew would be small so I had to jump (as in fast). I just wanted to get my foot back in the door with the hope that she will catch the bug too. Here is what I got:

Any comments would be greatly appreciated. I wanted at least an '84 and something as original as possible. The car is located only a couple of hours away so that was another plus. I haven't picked it up yet (won't get it until Monday) but I did have it taken to a Porsche service facility near the seller and using the great checklist from this site had them go over it thoroughly. A/C and front brakes needed some attention, new rear shocks and a few other small details but other than that a clean bill of health. Getting her a full service as well.

A couple of questions for the experts.

1. Any idea as to the color name?
2. Anything else I should do right away?
3. Think I did okay for short notice?

Thanks for looking and for your comments
