OK I'll I'll admit it, at this point I don't have a clue. When I bought my fixer upper, I thought it was a wise investment. Don't get me wrong, I always loved these cars. I even had posters of them hanging on the wall as a kid. It just when I saw the values on NADA, Blue Book, and in my very first issue of Excellence. They all seemed to be very high, but I thought they must be in the ballpark. Now after lurking on here for almost a year, I'm starting to realize that they aren't even close. So my first question is. Is it best to put this car back to original specs, and just enjoy it for what it is, (1975 911S)? Or do I make it into something I would rather own? Basically a wide body with as much power as my pocket book can handle. I feel I have a blank slate, and I don't want to make any costly mistakes. I'm sure I'll get caught on the slippery slope either way. But will making modifications to this car devalue it in the future? I keep reading that their aren't many unmolested mid-years left. I don't want to make major changes to mine, to find out I should have left it as it was designed. Another question I have is. Does it make sense to get a CoA from PCNA? I've read mixed reviews on this issue, and a $110 for an incorrect document seems a little steep. If the information is correct. I think it would be worth every cent, but what's the forum's consensus on the subject?

I plan to enjoy this car for a long time, but my Daughter's young, and college isn't getting any cheaper. I've have to admit that when I made this purchase, I thought of it as a fun way to invest in her education. Well that's it for my lame questions, and thanks for any, and all of your feedback. You guys rock, and I really value your opinions.

Thanks,
Bruce
