Meanwhile, the good cars – the ones you'd actually want – trade hands privately, offline, among two friends. If an ad for an excellent example of an unusual used car does reach the Internet, a cadre of interested buyers immediately calls the seller and a deal is struck that afternoon. It's a cutthroat place, the world…
THANK YOU!!! I was sitting here trying to figure out where I'd seen that before.
Other than increased scarcity, death of the manual, nostalgia, driving experience and the such, here are 3 reasons off the top of my head for the dramatic rise in air-cooled 911 prices:
787B. What an astounding amount of noise it makes.
Let it be known first and foremost, I didn't read the article... only the headline. That being said, I suggest you buy a 911 of the air-cooled variety. And not one of those refined 964 or 993 types. Something difficult with a 915 transmission and black spots on your driveway. This... this is the essence of…
What a stupid stupid car. I want it.
A more memorable political figure then?
999? Herman likes it!
I have vintage 911's now. Porsche's heal all wounds... unless something happens to said Porsches. The stuff of nightmares.
I've had 2. That was enough. I keep considering an '86 SVO, but whenever I go to check one out, I'm quickly reminded of what crappy cars Fox Mustangs really are... no matter what trim level.
Actually, my next car was a 1984 20th Anniversary Mustang GT350 with the same stupid f*@king TRX wheel/suspension package. Apparently I hadn't learned my lesson.
My first car was a 1983 Mustang GT. Looked exactly like this pic, but had the additional custom aero mod of a big dent in the driver's side front fender just in front of the wheel opening. I was a sophomore in high school at the time... '90 or '91. It was kind of a POS, but it was MY POS. V8's and freedom and…
Did you consider that perhaps I wasn't completely serious either? I realize that inflection is completely lost on the internet. Oh well. My fault for appearing serious I guess. Cheers.
Oh... I get it. Still deserves a knowing glare.
My first car [was terrible] like everyone else's first car. It was a Porsche 911 Carrera RS.
I saw this car the other day at the Winter Drive 2014 toy drive event. This car was there, as were probably many of the other cars in this video. This one stood out to me because it's WRAPPED IN FUCKING VELVET! It's not matte. It's not flat. It's BLACK VELVET!
For those keeping score (ahem), film composer Hans Zimmer on keyboards.
Do I dare suggest a hybrid gas/electric drivetrain? This would seem like a more likely scenario given the direction Porsche has been going with hybrid tech.
