I’m only 47 but I remember growing up as a kid, on my street alone there was a friends father who had a new 928 (we snuck it out and drove it when I was 13), another friends father had a new 944 turbo and another had an orange 914.

Now all I see are Porsche SUVs

When I’m in my car, I can’t go anywhere without someone yelling hey what year is your Porsche. Gets old but that’s ok so long as they don’t mug me

It is the Griffith's Dual Kehel system. It has 4 total condensers, new evaporator, all new hoses, and his improved bigger evaporator blower, and the variable speed fan speed controller. So I can go from low, to high and and there are no set speeds. That also includes a LED that lets me know if the the compressor is running.

So much improved. In August in Savannah, GA we went to lunch and my wife said she was cold and wanted me to turn the temp UP. One day the heat index was 135. The trip back home from Savannah was a lot of afternoon driving looking right into the sun, and it was 100+ degrees outside all the way. The sun was shining right on my chest and the dashboard was too hot to hold my hand on. We stayed cool and did not sweat, even when we stopped for lunch and left the car in the full sun for 45 minutes as we ate.

Without hesitation it is the BEST improvement or upgrade I ever did to the car. I can drve the car all summer and my wife will ride with me.

One concern I have and it’s probably why I don’t see a lot of vintage sports cars anymore is the lack of shops that can work on them.

We have 1 shop. They are amazing but if they were to close up, I would be screwed if I needed major engine work.

I see almost no vintage Ferrari’s. We used to have a very good Ferrari mechanic in town. He must have closed up at least 25 years ago

Hell even if I wanted a new Ducati or new Ferrari, i would have to drive hours to get a valve adjustment. Theres no dealers in my town and I don’t live in the middle of nowhere. Can’t imagine If I did.

Work often takes me to beautiful rural villages and farming communities around New York State and i often ask myself could I manage maintaining my 911 if I lived out here when the only shop in town is billy bobs muffler and lawnmower repair

I occasionally go to car shows and I’ll see a lot of MG’s, triumphs maybe 1 e type a 308 parked next an f430 and a crap load of old corvettes and a VW fastback and a long row of miatas

This ain’t Southern California

I'm a little late to the conversation, but I to have been thinking to myself, where are all the early 911s or 914s or even a 9xx whatever we used to see fairly often. I never see any on the roads, at all. I attend a fair number of C&Cs, PCA events and some others that just sort of crop up. Some recent PCA events there could be 100 p-cars and maybe 2 are long hoods, maybe another 5 are SC or Carreras and another one or two 933 or 964s, the rest are above the year 2000. Even at Hershey there were maybe 25-30 cars under the age of '97 and I could be way generous.
I guess times are a changing, but still where the heck are they? They all can't be going to Germany. I know my 73 sat in shed in the hills of PA for 15 years evolving into a steady decline and then I took it home. Its now been in my garage for the last 9 years while I try to undo the ravages of time, Hoping this summer it will be the second long hood at any particular crowd of p-cars. Fingers crossed. Maybe if a few more older cars start showing up regularly others may follow.

Daily Driver. 1988 Grand Prix White over Marina Blue. 156k miles. Fresh rebuild bottom up engine at 155k. Suspension refresh along with lots of little things on a 30 year old 150k plus car.

Drives great. One of my favorite drivers. Top up or down. Only thing left to do is tackle AC. Not sure I ever will though.

You just dont see many on the roads anymore even in Sunny SoCal.

A few of y'all may remember me from the tech side....years ago ;). My baby has been collecting dust for several years....many reasons. She's a beaut...worth at least a trillion Denis....she deserves to be driven. I'll make sure the next buyer does....and when I do let her go....$ won't be the reason.

I'll never replace her....can't...and don't want any regrets ...on down the line.

So she sits....and that just ain't right either :(?

I ripped out my center console and have no plans to put it back in. Are your AC controls on your center console or somewhere else? Curious how it looks
