How many Porsches have you owned?

(I did a search to see if there is already a thread for this, & didn't find one. sorry if this is a duplicate)

HOW MANY AIR COOLED PORSCHES HAVE YOU OWNED (so far) ????
and What year did you get your 1st one ???

Come on now...this isn't for the wizbang doodle "dealers" & "Flippers"...just regular guys (and gals) that bought 'um, drove 'um and then passed them on, to get yet another. That owned 'um for love, not for profit.


27 Porsches (so far)

1st one, '65 912 in 1970

9--356's
8--912's
3--914's
7--911's

4 in my first year and this month would be the completion of my 1st year. One of them was a part out, but I did get it to run and drive...A little cheating, but I did have title. Previously it was old vettes (64 and 74) and mustangs for me.

I have had 12 since 1997. The first 911 I owned was also the one. I must admit I have a passion for cars and have had 47 since I started driving 20 years ago.

I just enjoy different cars for different days.

Only two.

In the beginning, a 1976 914 for about 4 years.

Afterwards....a 1973 911 for the past 20 years.

Let's see: Started with P-cars in the mid 70's thru the mid 80's. Took several years off then got the P-bug again about 3 years ago resulting in an 80SC which underwent a total restoration finished 6 months ago.( Story and pics will follow soon). Here's the approximate chronology:
1974 - '74 914 2.0 Ex-wife got car in divorce settlement. (Less tires!)
1976 - '73 914 1.8 Flipped
1978 - '68 911 Flipped
1978 - '70 911S Sold in mid-80's for $6000
1979 - '70 914-6 (2) Flipped one for $3000. Sold other mid-80s for $6500.
1980 - '52 356 Stolen/vanished after resto/body shop went belly up.
1981 - '58 356 Flipped
2008 - '80 911SC, restoration completed Oct. 2010. Ain't flipping this baby!!

I am on my 9th Porsche, and my first aircooled car. Purchased my first car in 2000, and had 8 different cars in the garage before I moved to NYC in 2004, shortly after moving back to NC last year car number 9 graced the garage. Couldn't believe I went 6 years without owning a car.

I think the order went something like this:
1988 944 Turbo - Black / Burgundy - Burned to the ground due to an engine fire
1986 944 Turbo - Black / Black - Swapped most of the parts to car the next car, when I traded with a friend
1986 944 Turbo - Red / Black
1987 944 Turbo - Grey / Tan
1992 968 - Amazon / Tan
1987 924S - Red / Black
1986 944 Turbo - Burgundy / Tan
1983 911SC - Black / Black

I bought my 1974 2.0 37 years ago.
I bought my 1985 911 16 years ago.
Since 1974 I have owned three cars. I still own two of them.
I tend to bond with my cars.
