Hi all. Just want to introduce myself.
I picked up my first 944 about 3 hours ago. It's a basic '83 needing lots of cosmetic work but mechanically quite sound - everything works, manintenance is up to date, & it has some minor performance upgrades.
I've been driving 911s on the track for some time, but this 944 is intended for daily use (OK, twist my arm to try a DE or two).
Looking forward to picking some brains here as I work thru the project. Thanks in advance. I gotta go take a drive now.

What is your build date on your '83 and what color?

Unfortunately, the label by the LR taillight is gone and I do not have the original warranty book with the duplicate. Maybe I can estimate from the VIN?
Color is black on tan.

It should also say under the hood on a label.

Must have driven 300 miles today. Wow - what fun. Thanks for the welcome guys.

Rscupper: Welcome to the 'other side.' I think you'll find the 944 a blast on the track. A totally different handling car, compared to the 911.

Welcome!
