But which is the best 911?

I always thought the wood parts were framing out doors and the body panels, not that the body was actually wood! Don't think I'll be looking for a beater to restore, thats for sure.

The Nightmare Ride in my MG 1100 Sedan

Old MB help... Its likely a W108 ( the even more upscale W109 had airbag suspension that I don't think the cabs got) that were built from 1965 to 1972. Because it doesn't have alloy wheels I'm thinking on the earlier side of the run, most likely a 280SE, either with the six or the 3.5 V8. When I was a kid growing up…

Unlike the K900 and the Equus which are good bargain luxury cars, the Phaeton (actually pictured above, not a Passat) was a great luxury car by any standard. It's essentially a Bentley Flying Spur with some Volkswagen body parts on it.

I loved the commercials, especially this one that started smooth and, lets face it, orgasmic, and then moved to a twitchy, edgy style...all done with the camera, not the car.

What, no suicide doors?

Nice car, but for that kind of money you can easily buy a different Turbo, similar mileage, and ten years newer:

I'm getting a bit tired of photos like this with blatant, over-the-top HDR. Show us some subtlety, some finesse. You know, like a Viper.

Actually that's MOL already a Porsche engine, similar to a 914-4 Or wait, maybe the Porsche had a VW engine. Anyway, for $15K Jake Raby will fix you up with a nice reliable 155 dyno'ed HP. And hopefully some torque.

They used to call those Targa like things a "surrey top", but there was no rollbar. Today aftermarket suppliers produce one with an optional roll bar, but back in the day they were just flimsy affairs:

Actually, I think the era of cheap gasoline is back. A gallon of gas cost about 55 cents in 1972, inflation adjusted thats $3.13 today. Regular gas is selling in VA right now for under three bucks.

16 widely different "Best" categories? Looks like it was designed to everyone would have something to crow advertise about!

Winters in Pennsylvania, and summers on the Vineyard...what could be better worse?

Porsche, for sure. Went from two model lines to five. They introduced the highly successful Cayenne, and pushed the cash-flow into the core brand, developed the hybrid super car 918, made more money selling selling crazy stuff like $300 leather-to-match key fobs than GM total profits (just kidding), sold sedans, put…

Here is another option for using the wing: portable office:

I think not.

Or, at least they could have alphanumerics that make sense. 240D, I get it.

OK, I'm not only a baby boomer, but I'm in the first year crop and back then in ancient times 100K was indeed enough to give you pause. I also think that people weren't driving everywhere all the time and that a 100K car might be older too. Whatev, my dad was a diesel mechanic and knew what was doing with cars. We had…

High five me! Barkas B1000 van spotted right at 1:00! These wonderful POS vans were built in East Germany and many were exported to the USSR - the East Germans' revenge!
