I would like to trade a 65k miles, '86 911 coupe for a similar condition 993.
Before the peanut gallery interjects with their smart @ss remarks (which I actually do thoroughly enjoy), I would add $$$ with the trade depending on the car. I am also open to a Cab, but prefer a coupe.
I just purchased this 1986, Guards Red Porsche 911 Coupe in Dec. from a fellow Pelican member. Great car, well sorted, 65k documented miles (service records from the first owner to me), no leaks, no smoke, clean ppi (just some minor things like 1 direction of the power mirror not working). Recent smog test came back with flying colors...ran very clean. The problem, and I know some people love them, is that I am just not a fan of the 915 tranny. It felt fine on the test drive and my previous encounters, but I took a longer road trip and just can't be one with it. Of course my friend has a 95 993 coupe which I drove around and I guess I am a bit of a pansy as I like the more refined ride and the G50.
I took out the AC condenser and compressor to shave about 18 lbs, both included in the sale (I did leave the hoses, blower, and the rest sealed up and intact). The fender guards are magnetic and can easily come off. I put very nice neoprene seat covers on, but you can see what is underneath in the slideshow.
Would prefer to keep it and just start a collection, but one thing is preventing me from that which many of us can commiserate with: the wifey. Booo on her and her nagging.
