Interesting thread.

What exactly happened in your garage that has made you and your husband consider selling the cars? Sounds like something quite catastrophic.

I bought my 944 Turbo and 928S4 later in life as I just did not have the financial means to do so earlier and have no interest in selling them, even though I have decent offers from collectors on my 930 over the years. I do not drive them often but when I do, it makes driving something that you "want to do" not "have to do". I don't mind working on them either and have really honed my skills over the years, many times I mentally agonize over a job more than the time it actually takes, but once I get into it, its not too bad. Having access to a lift is a game changer. These are cars I dreamed of owning when I was a kid and in my office to this day, I still have all the original brochures, die cast models and road test magazines, so I feel blessed and fortunate to own them.

I'm actually on the hunt for an Italian project that I can roll-up my sleeves and enjoy in the near future.

*Edit - my Dad's brother used to own 4 air cooled 911s, he was the stereotypical check book mechanic and he would wait until something really was bad before addressing it, half the time we couldn't believe that these car's survived his negligent ownership. Anyway he got tired of them and sold them all fairly recently for a handsome amount and bought a 997 TT.
