Started looking to buy my first 911 air cooled back in late 1990’s and after some searching found a 1986 911 carrera Coupe white metallic gold 100% original with 129,000 miles. Struck a deal over internet and flew to Charlotte to pick it up. When I arrived at seller’s house I learned he was a retired airline pilot who had flown in Korea. He was original buyer of car from dealership new. Before he would let me see the car, he sat me down in his living room and interviewed me as if I was taking his daughter out for a date. I must have passed because he took me out to the garage and showed me a detailed beauty. On the way out, his wife pulled me aside and told me he was in the garage cleaning it up before I got there and she could hear him talking to the car. I knew I found a gem. She now has 170,000 miles on her and after an engine rebuild, gearbox rebuild, suspension upgrade, turbo conversion, and new interior, she is as good as new and running perfect.
