My New Ride! 88 GP White Carrera!!
Well, sorry for all the exclamation points, but hey, I'm excited!
 My local 30 year P-car service only garage (Dumont Porsche) owner who knew I was kinda looking, called and said I've got a good one for you. It's a local two owner car with 79k miles. The 2nd owner was a retired highway patrolman and during the two years he owned it he only put one thousand miles on it. Dumont's has serviced it since it was brand new. It's a very clean and unmolested car and the stamp book shows oil changes every 3k miles. It doesn't leak any oil and has no smoke on start up. I can't seem to stop running errands. Guess I gotta' change my avatar.

Congratulations! I LOVE GP white (maybe it shows). You've got a real beaut of a keeper! Found ours a few years back sort of like you, a single owner w/64K on the clock. Looks like yours needs nothing but more errands to run! Enjoy!!!!

Thanks guys!
Lot's of nice looking white cars. I'm surprised no one has commented on the VW bug coming out of the 2nd floor of the building in the backgroung of the 2nd pic. LOL. I will be taking more pics in the future and also asking for advice on various suspension issues. Actually, I have a question now. What size torsion bars and sway bars does an 88 have? ..

Thanks Scott.
I went out and measured my sway bars. They seem to be about 21mm? Sound right? Am I correct in assuming there are no adjustable under the body swaybars for the front? ..
