Car totaled, what next

D Hanson · 08-28-2003, 04:56 PM

I need a weekend play toy with a drop top.

Hard to find good 911 widebody convertibles and/or 930 convertibles right now. The 964s and early 993s are cheaper than the 88s and 89s in great condition.

Want a 930 cabriolet. If I cannot find one in my price range, would I be happy with the 964 or a 95 cabriolet. Which is quicker and handles better.

Here's a couple in Phoenix:

Thanks. I found a lot of good cars on autotrader.

I really like the yellow. Have you done any mods on the engine? They only detractor to me is the chrome head light rings. If they were yellow or black I think it would flow better. Just my opinion though. What are you asking?

swbsam · 08-28-2003, 08:18 PM

Hey, they made my coupe in to a cab

75'930cab · 08-28-2003, 08:20 PM

I actually bought some new headlight rings. I was going to paint them yellow. The engine is dead stock.
I'am looking for around $17k for it. I need the money to finish my Pantera and I plan on buying a 930 early next year.

Sam, on a brighter note, what will be the replacement for your beautiful wide-body? Going classic 'hot' long nose, 964 or another 3.2?

Mike O · 08-29-2003, 07:03 AM

Doug,

I e-mailed you about an hour ago about my '87 911 Turbo Look Cab I might be selling. I live in Nashville, so we're not that far apart. I put my phone # in my e-mail, so call me if you'd like to talk. I'm getting ready to do some home renovations, and the wife tells me that I ought to sell one of my three toys ('02 Boxster S, '91 NSX with 23,800 miles, and the Turbo Look Cab) to help fund the project.

My car is 1 of the 16 real M491 Turbo Look Cabs built in '87, and it currently has 48,800 miles. I have the original window sticker for the car and it cost $63,070 back in 1987.

Options include the following: Dual power heated sport seats, limited slip, power top, turbo look option, central locking system, automatic speed control, alarm system, luggage compartment in black velour. It also has a leather 930S steering wheel (that I bought from Pelican Parts) and a set of Cup I wheels with painted centers and a brand new set of Yokohamas. I am VERY picky, and I'd rate the car strong 9 out of 10. It needs absolutely nothing and everything works perfectly.

already done check out the post :

how I managed to find and buy my new Tl in a week

D Hanson · 08-29-2003, 12:11 PM

Mike: That sounds great. What color is it. Any pics. Is it white and did I talk to you back in June?

I have found a nice 89 silver anniversary cab with 48k and a couple of 930 cabs in my price range. Nashville would be much closer than the others.

Sam: Hard to believe, but my shop estimated the damage at $ 25,000.00.

D Hanson · 08-29-2003, 12:14 PM

Sam: BTW, Nice looking car (the new one).

Mike O · 02:38 PM

Doug,

My car is Grand Prix White with Mahogony leather interior.

No, you didn't talk with me back in June...you must have spoken with a guy here in Nashville named Tony about his '88 911 Turbo Look Cab (clone) he had for sale. It was a white car as well. His car was converted into a Turbo Look from a regular Cab, whereas mine is a real M491 Turbo Look Cabriolet. M491 on my original window sticker, on the sticker under the front hood, and in the original red Warranty & Maintainence book I have.

I'm probably going to advertise all three of my toys in a few weeks and whichever one sells, I'll sell, and will keep the other two.

Mike

D Hanson · 08-29-2003, 06:38 PM

Cool. Do you have any pictures of it. Sounds sweet.

D Hanson · 08-29-2003, 06:40 PM

BTW

That yellow cab is absolutely gorgeous. Real tesmtping, just want something newer even though it would be very difficult to find a nicer looking car.

Mike O · 08-29-2003, 07:21 PM

Doug,

Don't have any pictures of my car, but I'll try and take a few this weekend and could e-mail them to you. I'm pretty computer illiterate, so I'll have my 15 year old son help me.

Mike O · 08-30-2003, 07:01 AM

Doug,

Forgot to mention that my car also has an in dash Alpine CD player, as well as an amp to power system.
