964, the ugly duckling 911? I don't think so.

964 Were my favorites - Then I spoke to my local Wrench, he convinced me otherwise (he said go with a 3.2 Carrera or a SC)

So my looooooooong term plan if I don't sell it to convert to a Wide 964.

Kind of like this

Whoah, really?? I have no use for sound insulation. I'd rather they installed sound AMPLIFICATION !!

So hey, I've got a scraper and some free time. Where did they put all this dead weight? I'm game to put the 964 on a "Sound Amplification Weight Loss Program"

I work on my C2 myself. Everything from valve adjustments to fixing HVAC electrical problems. It's not that bad.

This is my first porsche. Maybe I don't know better.

Wow, what a great thread and its not even in the 964 fourm! I have had many 911's and I had to try the 964 and so far it is all 911 to me...

Jeremy,
That targa was gorgeous! My only regret about my RSA is that I couldn't find a midnight blue car, but I shouldn't be complaining since the car is so amazing.

btw, Janus, yeah, my boss built the Can-Am 965 "Spot" and I think when they built it they actually weighed the insulation and there is like 300 or 400 lbs of it in the car. a lot was around the engine which the RSA doesn't have, theres more on the floors, I think the door panels too. I haven't really removed any of mine yet.

My friend's 964 at Texas Motor Speedway (me driving)

I love my '87, but if I win tommorow nights Lottery, I think I have found my new track car, one of the SD locals has a Carrera Cup car and it is truly impressive! Wish it was mine.

not the actual car, but you get the idea

[Pete000]

Here is mine, yes I know it needs to be lowered. I have to make time to get the springs installed.

so how much would a nice 964 Turbo go for?

I think anywhere from the low to mid 30s and up. There is an earlier 3.3 and a later 3.6 liter version. The latter being more desirable. That price range is normally aspirated 993 territory. I sure would take a turbo 964 over a n/a 993 any day!

Here is my son's 964 Turbo,we work on it ourselves and have just fitted GHL headers, Cargraphics wheels & strut brace, lowered suspension, K27-29 hybred turbo, 1bar waste gate spring, Turbo "S" type rear spoiler, front lower splitter, plus other mods inside and out.



The Targa is mine.

You guys are killing me with these pics of 965s.....
It has to be my next car......
Grant without taking anything away from your beautiflul targa.... Your son's Turbo is just unreal.

[GrantA]

My son has spend the best part of £15k on his 965 over the last 4 years and it shows. Regretably he is now selling it to fund a LHD car for when he moves to Europe from the UK. If you have £30k to spare it is available in the south of England. Couple more pics to drool over.




LOL

Grant I sent u a PM

Wow, gogeous car.

[adscab]

While I now own my dream car, a 993 TT, I love the shape of the 964. IMHO, it is the best of the classic 911 silhouette.
