86 Carrera sunroof coupe built in February, sold new in April 86 in Princeton NJ. The owners manual service stamps shows it moved to Arizona in Jan 1990 w/26K on the clock.

I bought it last February with about 1.5" thick pile of service records. I haven't taken the time to organize them in sequence, but a quick perusal shows 5 different names on the reciepts, all in Arizona, so I assume I'm the 6th owner. Had a top end rebuild & new clutch at 81K and was at 113K when I bought it.

I've done a few minor repairs - tie rod enc boots were shot so I did the turbo upgrade. Needs a few other fixes, tear in the seat, AC upgrade, synchos worn but tolerable. But its passed emissions twice w/flying colors and drive it almost every day.

This is my first Porshe and I'll probably keep it forever!
