white out

so freaking cool! Nick

sounds like a major vacuum leak. Nick

I have no affiliation with this car. http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&csDlId=&csDgId=&listingId=94004977&listingRecNum=0&criteria=sf1Dir%3DDESC%26mkId%3D20081%26stkTyp%3DU%26mdId%3D20567%26rd%3D30%26crSrtFlds%3DstkTypId-feedSegId-mkId-mdId%26zc%3D48933%26rn%3D0%26PMmt%3D1-1-0%26stkTypId%3D28881%26sf2Dir%3DASC%26sf1Nm%3Dprice%26sf2Nm%3Dmiles%26isDealerGrouping%3Dfalse%26rpp%3D50%26feedSegId%3D28705&aff=national&listType=3 I was looking for a 996, but this 911 was 5 min from my house, so I had to go check it out. I'm glad I did, it's an outstanding car. I thought that I would share this gem with the forums in case anyone was looking for a car. Here's the rundown: '84 911 purple/black very clean only leaks oil while sitting over winter, not during use immediate start up great looking wheels no rust long time owner - actually cares for the car drives very nice non-LSD bad: light hit/sideswipe on driver door a few years ago, cannot tell it was repainted paint below front bumper is in bad shape one fog light lens is broken a/c doesn't work, but system is in tact Nick

literally my first pictures of the car Nick

'84 911 vs. 996, both hard tops. Thanks for your input on the 996. Nick

Thank you both. Nick

I'm in the market for a new DD as I have grown tired of my E36M3. I live in Michigan. I will be putting around 15k miles/year on the car and it will see snow and temperatures below zero degrees F. My garage is underground and stays between 50-70 degrees F throughout the year. I plan on picking up a set of winter or all season tires. I am aware of the IMS failure and debating an LS1 swap before an IMS failure and selling the good 3.4, which should total around $3k after selling the 3.4. Sorry to the purists, but it would be reliable and have turbo power in an inconspicuous shell. The '84 doesn't have an LSD (which is a major concern); has cat pipe deleted; some 964 turbo wheels; sunroof car; the owner has owned the car for 10+ years and is selling for a 997; no rust; super clean; 120k miles; only thing that doesn't work is a/c. There are a few 996's that I'm looking at. All are basically stock with 90-140k miles. I have seen some C4's, which I'm not opposed to, but I think that a C2 is a better route for fuel mileage and lack of driveline power loss. That is, unless the C4 AWD can be pulled and put back in. Which would be a nice option for summer/winter driving. As far as winter driving, I drove my Viper ACR with worn PS2's through 1/2 of a winter and on a road trip I was caught in a blizzard at the Vail Pass in it; drove Murci in the snow on many occasions; and last winter kicked off with a non-LSD BMW 2002; followed with an E36M3 on non-aggressive summer tires. So I'm well versed in low, performance cars in snow. With that info, please give me your input on which 911 I should go with and why. Thanks, Nick
