He bought it when he was 61 and was auto crossing with PCA. He’s 80 now and can no longer drive stick so he sold it to me. He is a lifelong Porsche fanatic and at one time had 5 356’s and a 944S at his spread.

Anyway, the car is fantastic fun and fast. It cost less than my 79 SC Targa too when I bought that car. If you’ve not driven a Boxster, you ought to try it.

Very cool. I had a '97 miata and then an '04 Mazdaspeed Miata, and my wife had a '99 miata. They were GREAT little cars. But they aren't Porsches. Congrats for getting back into one. I hope it serves you well and you enjoy it. My guess is that you won't have an issue with the IMSB. I've heard that when a car is driven hard, you're less likely to have that kind of issue, and if he was an autocrosser, than it was probably driven enthusiastically.

PICS or it didn't happen!
