Just a beautiful old Porsche

Saw it on Uncrate.
I've got a thing for old Porsches like this guy.
But this is all I can realistically afford and risk on track days. A 987.2 S.

Nothing wrong with a 987.2

This one is local to me. I see it on the road frequently.

If I had to choose between a 356 coupe or roadster, I'd pick the coupe.

Who doesn't love a vintage Porsche?
Nothing wrong with a newer one, though. Same fun with less money.

So cool. A frame up restored 1600 Super will bring big $$$.FlyPenFly wrote:http://www.rmsothebys.com/mc16/monaco/l ... en/1079976
My last one was a '63 B cabriolet. Nothing like a 356.

Re: Just a beautiful old Porsche
Love vintage Porsche, although like watches, I prefer new. I had an early 97 Boxster in Arena Red and wish I still had it.

Arena red is a cool color. I almost bought a 993 in Arena red but ended up with polar silver instead.jswing wrote:Love vintage Porsche, although like watches, I prefer new. I had an early 97 Boxster in Arena Red and wish I still had it.

Re: Just a beautiful old Porsche
I loved it, although the 993 looks even better of course.. If I bought a Porsche today, it'd be a Cayman, because I prefer a coupe.logan2z wrote:Arena red is a cool color.

I think you'd love the Cayman. Tough to beat the handling of a mid-engine.jswing wrote:I loved it, although the 993 looks even better of course..

Re: Just a beautiful old Porsche
I ended up selling my Boxster because I was getting ice in the engine compartment. Don't ask me why, but I bought a house without a garage (even though a garage was on my must have list) and even under a heavy duty car cover moisture got in and froze. Traded it in on a X3 grocery getter/people mover. Oh well.logan2z wrote:I think you'd love the Cayman.

Re: Just a beautiful old Porsche
I can sympathize somewhat with your garage situation. I don't have to worry about ice here in the Bay Area but we have a single car garage and I hated parking my '87 Carrera outside. I covered it to reduce UV damage and keep the birds from treating it like their own personal toilet, but I could only use the cover when the car was totally clean.
After we renovated our house a few years ago I promised myself I'd put a lift into the garage to double my parking space. Of course other priorities got in the way but the lift is finally going in next week. Can't wait!

Just a beautiful old Porsche
I should have bought a Porsche before we had a kid (and started spending $ on watches). Now it's not going to happen for 15-20 years if ever.toxicavenger wrote:This is the Porsche I might able to afford one day
