That's a tough one. I grew up loving the 993 tt body.
I was a senior in HS when that car was released and I remember thinking one day I'll own one. The 964 I always viewed as a dog to be honest. It was sluggish it had significant turbo lag and it just resembled too much of the 930 to me. Honestly my love for the 964 is a pretty recent attraction. My father however, always loved that car. When we would see them on the road he always commented on how sexy that car was. Now you don't ever seen them on the road. So maybe that's the appeal to me? It is getting increasingly rare and impossible to find a clean car. The main appeal to me is that it is my dad's favorite car which holds a special place in my heart. That being said, I'm fortunate that I don't have to choose between the two. Some day they will both be in the stable. But until that day I'm glad I found him his car.
Incoming! 👍
Well after purchasing my 993 turbo last year I have been bitten by the air cooled bug. While the car was at my parents house while I got my garage sorted out. My dad fell in love with the 993 turbo. It needed some work though so I don’t expect to get that...
Thanks, it will be made that much more special when it eventually finds it's way back into my stable.
Although I am in no rush knowing the longer it's out means the more he is enjoying it.
Bravo, a gentleman move!
This purple with purple leather is stunning. I love it 😍 can't wait for better photos
Thanks Kevin.
I can't give my parents enough to say thank you for everything they have done for us.
YOU are a fine man. You have wonderful
values and as much as I love the car . . . I love who you are and what you did even more.
Thanks Ed for the kind words.
To this day my parents feel superhuman to me. They worked full time jobs, owned and managed their own real estate and never missed one of our baseball games. In comparison to them I feel like such failure with my kids. If I could be a slither to them to w...
One of, if not THE most iconic car body of all time.
Congrats to you and Dad!! The new ones have nothing on these, IMO.
Thanks Michael..
This and the 993 are definitely iconic Porsche. The car just looks so tough!
Nice! Glad to see you not buying al that is "new" and not so new....
There is something more analog about these prior models...
For sure but I appreciate both the water cooled and air cooled I just don't really like the 992 line..
Although I do have a GT3RS expected to be delivered next month as I write this.
Excellent sentiment and choice👏🏽
I’m curious, why specifically would you envision this for your daughter instead of the boys? Is this more challenging to drive?
It definitely commands the "widowmaker" nickname..
Latent turbo boost and rear wheel drive and heavy clutch. That being said my girl is as tough as nails and purple is her favorite color so I couldn't imagine it going to anyone else. My Bubba is a classic car guy so I see him having the 993tt and my Cammy...
Typical colour combo from around 1991-92
I remember well the Porsche line-up at the auto show around these days, one of the best IMO. Before the turbo went to 3.6. 928 GTS, 968 CS, 964 turbo, all shades of silver, amethyst and speed yellow That was yummy!
Actually speed yellow and Amethyst were not common in the Porsche line up.
As can be seen at auction sales as well. Typical color combo for the 964 turbo was black on black or silver.
Thank you, I had to get another purple in the stable after selling my 991.1 GT3RS in UV.
Regret that decision every day, but we need to keep moving forward.
arguably the most gorgeous of voluptuous kind
personally my favorit porsche. (the other one would be 964 3,8 RSR 😉)

You are lucky to have them.
Personally 993 and 964 are the best. IMHO next in line maybe 997. IMHO 993 is the most stunningly beautiful, sensual and naturally curvy of all 911. 964 is more gorgeous and alluring yet perky. If I may put into word.🙂
Yes if you're an air cooled guy many would argue those are your best.
I like the 997 as well but I missed the boat on the ones I wanted. 5 years ago I came really close to buying 2-997 GT3 RS. I just don't see myself paying what people want for them now, especially for what they could have been had for. Same goes for the 99...
modern 911 is love and pure enjoyment sans drama
964 and 993 both perhaps equal to romance and makeup.
Congrats! I love the purple hues.
My favorite color was my 991 RS in UV. Really miss that car because of the color.
