Sweet! 911's look great in white, 964's included.

How do you know it was owned by THE Gene Hackman? Maybe there's one of his old, chewed-up pencils in the glove box!

Very cool. Gene is a local guy, born and raised in Danville, IL just down the road from me(also home of Dick Van Dyke). While I've never met him, I've heard he's a real down-to-earth guy.

What a great looking car. To me the 964 is one of the nicest 911s.

Amazing car, my favorite generation of 911! Definitely post a video or sound clip of the exhaust when you get that done..

all these porsche build threads are making me salivate for a 968 again. I know its not as cool as a late 911 but it's more in my price range, which is why I own things like datsuns and audis. . . . awesome car, I dont see the white ones as much seems like.

Drove it home 500 miles on saturday. Car is cleaner then I thought it would be. Tight and shockingly fast. She's sitting in upstate NY @ a storage place while I get all the papers in order... Sooo happy.

New fabspeed Cat Delete, Cup Pipe and 02 sensor

Fabspeed Exhaust video

Also broke the inner CV when I launched maybe a little too hard. $115 to replace and 30 min later I was good. Easy car to work on thus far and surprisingly cheap.

Family shot.

You must not have noisy blower motors.
They are fantastic to drive aren't they?

Beautiful. Curious - I think I see a late model STI there. How does the driving experience compare?
