Love the 964! Probably the best all-around 911. What model year? Yours came with ABS?

Yes, the 3.2l engine is pretty much unbreakable as long as it gets warmed up, lit up, tuned up and proper oil grade. Daily drivers show 300k miles between rebuilds.

Ours is a 1991. While I really like our 964, I certainly wouldn't mind a 993! Almost the same car as the 964, but with the laid down head lights. I do however like the classic look of the upright head lights too.

BTW, did you notice the license plate? That is completely coincidental.

Any AC Cobra owners here? Kit or original. That is my dream ride. Either a Factory Five or Superformance. Either are my 5-10years from now car.

That is many a person's dream car. Never been in one, have you?

I know someone who dad has an original Shelby Cobra. He bought it in the early 70's as a wreck and had pieces of buried in his yard! He was affraid someone would steal the car before he could restore it. I saw him once washing off piece from the car and asked if that is from a Cobra. I thought he was going to skin me alive.

Old neighbor had a Factory Five. Badass car.

I saw one at Cars & Coffee in Cary, NC, two weeks ago - Waverly Place Shopping Center first Saturday of the month, 8:00am to 10:30am. Owner said it was an original 427 - I did not ask to record the serial number; he seemed honest. It was a gem from every angle. pm if you want all the pictures. I had a serious rumble factor.

Have reached a point when I can say amen to that... Boring dealer photo. I've been too busy driving it to take any pictures.

Here's my purchase from earlier this year.

That is awesome. What are the details on this Z, very cool looking.

It's a '76 280Z. Previous owner did a lot of work on it, and kept it in really good shape. There's no rust (fingers crossed it stays that way). Looks like it was undercoated at some point. All rubber body mounts replaced with urethane bushings. New springs/shocks put on to lower the car about 1-1.5". Paint is not original, but in pretty good shape. I plan to get a respray in a couple years. Engine is all stock and still runs strong for 40 years and 113k miles. It is an automatic trans, 3 speed. While I'd prefer a manual, the auto isn't all that bad. I have a 4 speed trans in the garage I may swap in at some point.

My first car was a 78 280. I had said at some point I'd get another one. So glad I did. It's a visceral feeling driving it.

Not sure if I had ever posted my car, but here's my toy... Lotus Evora. It's a manual and mostly an every day driver for most of the year. This car has very precise handling traits and is really connected to both the road and driver. No cup holders here!

To Lotus fans, nothing handles like a Lotus. As much as I get new-car-idus as much as the next motorhead, I can't think of another sports car under 100K I'd rather have. Plus, this one is all sorted out now.

I am think today is going to be the end of the season. Plan on washing it later and connecting the CTEK.

Nice cars guys!

Looks like tomorrow will be the cutoff here as well - to stop pretending it's spring, and say goodbye to the car for a few months.

Would be cool to make it a resto-rod style Z. Keep all the styling but put a miata engine trans in it. Would have slick 5 speed and good engine maintaining light weight.

I've gone back/forth about putting a LS1 in it. Lots of guys have done it, mated to a Tremec 5 or 6 speed. Talk about bad a$$. Only affects the weight by around 40lbs towards the front, as the original straight 6 is quite heavy. I've also thought about having the motor gone over to freshen it up. Maybe a mild cam swap too. All depends on how adventurous I want to get, plus how deep my pocket book is at the time.
