I'm such a fan of the 964. I actually prefer it (styling-wise) to the 993. I think I'm one of nine people in the world with that opinion!

Mrs. Lugnut doesn't want to ride in cars without passenger airbags and I want a traditional, removable-roof Targa, so a 964 is my only option. But I can't believe how the cost of these cars has gone up! Five or six years ago, I passed on a nice white '94 C2 Targa because I didn't have the $18k handy to buy it. Now, you can't touch that car for less than $40k!

I love the silver roll hoop on this one.

Driving a 964 is the main reason i got a 996. Not because i didn't like the 964, but unlike it's owner i didn't happen to get in right before the market exploded. I ended up shopping 996s for the same money he'd spent on the 964.

In reality the 996 is a substantially better car for me, but it lacks a LOT of what made driving the 964 seem so special.

Prices on these are bonkers right now because all the stance-tards are snatching them up and ruining them with bags and notched frames.

Prices have gone up in the two short years since we last ran this article. Figure $61,000 for an excellent Carrera 2 now.
