New guy from CA!
Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2022 2:39 am
Hello ya'll. My name is Kevin. I've been lurking on Beretta.net as a non-member off and on for many years now, and recently on the FB page to find a white 90' GTZ like my late fathers that I grew up with.
A couple weeks ago I finally came across one for sale in Kentucky!! The seller was very helpful and sent me many photos/videos and answered as many questions as he could in his short time of ownership. Once satisfied with what he provided, I immediately jumped on the opportunity and flew out to check it out. I'm happy to say that I took the chance and was very pleased with it and drove her back to CA without a hitch and even averaged 32mpg!
She's cleaned up very well after a quick wash and vacuum. Next is to fully shampoo the interior, freshen up some of the suspension bushings, redo the exhaust system, touch up the paint chips/peels, upgrade some of the exterior lighting to LEDs and modernize the stereo a bit.
Looking forward to keeping her alive in my fathers memory. I'll try visit often as forums are what really keep the knowledge base alive. I'm not a real fan of how FB has destroyed that and the use of the search function. Maybe even try to make it to a Bfest someday if it's close enough (not sure I would want to do another 2000+ mile drive lol).
On to some photos!
The night I bought her.
The next morning getting some fresh rubber & alignment for the trip.
Approx 2400 miles and 4 days later, she's home and washed/vacuumed!
