Porsche Crest Longest you've owned the same Porsche?

Today marks 20 years I've owned my SC. Best car I've ever bought. I know some here trade regularly but I was wondering what is the longest you owned the same Porsche and do you still have it?

I've owned my speedster since 1966 - still my favorite. Love that "bug line" on the forehead after a spirited, topless drive!!!

autobonrun, what color is your SC? Saw two today here in KC, which is a rare sight. One Platinum, one sky Blue, both coupes.

Mine was bought new by my dad, so that's a little over 20 years.

I've owned the 914 since 1985 (I'm the second owner!) and the 911 since 1995.

I've had the '76 since '93. Better yet, I've had the '77 spyder since '86 when I bought it in college. With all the experience that back seat had I could never let it go!

I did not have mine out today. Mine comes out tomorrow. It's a tobacco metallic targa.

So far the longest is 38 years. Very impressive. Lots of 10+ years owners on this site.

These 1 and 6 day ownerships must have a story behind them.

SoCal,

Never speak of this with your wife, but come on, we need, "the rest of the story."
