Need to explain to your friends or family why an air-cooled Porsche 911 is the most reasonable choice for your next car, but only have five minutes to do so?
Lucky for you, we have a video for that–and you’ll have a few minutes to spare.
LOL. The problem isn't convincing me that I want a 911--I've wanted a 911 since before I could legally drive. The problem is having the disposable cash with which to buy one.
Have you seen the prices for 912s? Even the previously 912E is now pushing 35-40K range.
I've personally given up on owning an aircooled 911......the bottom end seems to be 40K; I can afford it but not without giving up one or two of the other cars.
I once considered buying a black '88 coupe that was for sale here in town around 2007 or 2008. But I decided to put an LS1 into an MGB instead as I figured it would be less expensive - I think the 911 was about $20k.
I loved my 964, but there came a point that the market loved it more. Someone offered $65k, and I couldn't pass it up. Miss it sometimes, but I wouldn't have bought it if I had an empty driveway and 65k burning a hole in my pocket.

I wish, but really just want the engine for the 914.

I just want a 912. I'm a simple man.

In the burgundy ducktail 911, what is the knob just below and left of the clock?

I don't need any reasons.

Yup, I think we've all done it. I passed on a Targa for 9K and did the D-sports Racer instead.
