Having owned a 356A coupe when I was younger, there is a special place in my heart for REAL Porsches like this beautiful example. I refer to this as a REAL Porsche because with the 1966 models (911/912) the whole marketing scheme changed to where the racing team was used to promote the sale of automobiles. Prior to that (356 and earlier models) the only reason you could own a Porsche was because the sale of automobiles generated the funds to support the racing team. On models prior to 1966 each engine was built by 1 mechanic and his initials were stamped on the engine. All the specs were maintained in his notebook. I cringe when I see a Porsche SUV!

When I owned a 73 911E Targa, I looked at a very tired speedster parked in the lot behind the dealership. It was pretty rough, and I wasn’t very impressed with the power of the Speedster (and it’s 4500 RPM redline). Because I was young and into performance (and stupid), I passed it up for $3K as I remember. Bad decision.

I normally don’t like the looks of Porsche, but this convertible is very nice.

When I got married I traded my 356A in on a pickup to take my new family camping. I got $1400 in trade. It's just one of many cars I've owned that I wish I'd locked up in a warehouse for 40 years.
In the 60's when the 911/912's came out, my dentist bought a 912 and dropped a Corvair engine in it. I gave him hell for bastardizing a Porsche, but he blew off 911's in the autocross.

Love the Porsches also n4jee. The one you posted is a classic. I still miss my little Boxster. Wife said to expensive to maintain in retirement. At least that was her story.
