It's final-my new 964 is home!
My search is officially over, I shook hands on a 1992 Amazon Green over tan C2. More remarkable than the pristine condition or the 22K miles is that it was only 100 miles from my home. The last car I bought was from Pittsburgh-700 miles from home! Needless to say, today was a big day in the Hildebrand houshold. I think my wife and kids were more excited than I. Following is a brief photo essay of our day.
We've prepped the front for a 100 mile drive. There's a LOT of rocks, stones, and bugs between here and home. This pick was taken right after I told my wife I would be driving the 911 and she the minivan.  It was a beautiful drive from Baraboo to Madison where the C2 was to have the PPI done. One can not overstate the wonders of air conditioning and cruise control.   These 3 were there to greet us at Kelly-Moss in Madison WI.  We hung out by the capital. Here is my wife and son sitting at Starbucks.  After a nice day in Mad-town we headed back to hear good news. Three percent or less across all 6. No leaks. Nothing needed.   A fitting toast upon it's arrival home. New Glarus Spotted Cow from near Madison. M'favorite!  The plastic is removed to reveal a perfect front bumper. Not one chip!  Here she is, stock ride height and all. Much to do, but for now, I'll enjoy her as is.  More to follow. Last edited by SLO-BOB; 07-20-2006 at 07:01 PM.. |

A lot of people say they are the ugly duckling of 911s. I love those cars. Yours is especially nice!

Bob, that car is SO beautiful! Congratulations. How are you planning to protect the front bumper and hood from chipping? |

I've always wondered, where are the back-up lights on the 964 and 968? Their taillights are all red.
Gooooooood looking car, by the way

Good luck -

"Baraboo to Madison"
Did you take HWY 12 or the fun back roads that lead to the ferry? It's fun to look at the pictures and figure out where they were taken. Nice car. |
