trivia question

Does anyone know the last year of production for the "long hood" 911s? Were they SWB or LWB or some of each? I've heard that the long hoods are increasing in value faster than most models, is that true also?

Thanks, gary

The last model year of the "long hoods" was 1973.

Collectable? Some consider them so...

Last long hood was 73. 68 was the last of the short wheel base IIRC....

Long hoods are all cars through 1973 production.
Short wheel base is 1964 through 1968
Long wheel base is all production from 1969 through 1989 MY

Long hoods are not increasing in value any longer. That bubble popped 2-3 years ago. Values have come down since then. 964's and 993's are currently experiencing a strengthening market.
