My first & only 911. I bought this 1972 911T in November 1978, sold it in August 1994 (to pay off debts after divorce - still kicking myself! ). Played with lots of other cars since then, but have been doing lots of research lately, hoping to buy another. These pics are from Fall 1983 - before the days of digital cameras.

me16ic that Gemballa Targa is spectacular. Would love to see more pics of it somehow. My first 911 is a Targa bought from the original owner (through an intermediary) so sadly unable to get much history. I did a glass out bare metal repaint and a ton of upgrades etc etc. Only feasible because I did all the work myself so far. First outside hands to touch it will be for an alignment and miraculously NO broken head studs.

My one and only

My 82SC which I've owned for 1.5 years.
It's lots of tweaks and upgrades along the way.
Speed Yellow on what I call an olive gray '86 interior that I've never seen before.

My Tobacco Metallic 79 SC was my first Porsche. I bought it in 1984 and still own it. I’ve picked up a couple other 911s since.

My first 911 was a 1984 Carrera, sunroof delete, A/C delete, black on black. Drove it for 3 years before it "died" in a crash - that was 13 years ago.

It was an extraordinary car. Came upon her by accident, and bought her after convincing my wife that it would be ok . . . Here, I am showing it with my dog Guimauve - she loved to go for rides.

My second one was a 1982 SC, chiffon white. I had it for 7 years and it served me very well.

In 10 years of ownership, all maintenance and repairs was done by myself, including changing the clutch. I live in the boonies and no qualified mechanics nearby. That is a Porsche for you !

I am starting a thread for the fixing/restoration progress here.

But here it is waiting for glass reinstallation!

My first 911 was a 1971 T with only 45k on the clock, all original, miss it so much!




Current ride is a RoW 1988 non A/C dark blue with Avocado interior

That's a nice Carrera. I can definitely understand naming the interior colour Avocado.
I'm in the west end of the city near High Park. You have closer access to some of the better driving roads around here!
Are you part of any of local Porsche groups?
I'll DM you so we don't clog up this thread's topic.

That is an amazing transition.

Here is my first! 86 targa purchased for $8500 in 2010 off of a Craigslist ad. Prices sure were different then.
