I don't see a market correction. There just aren't enough clean cars on the market at any one time. How many lowly '74 or '75 911 Coupes or Targas are on sale in the world in any given week. 20? 30? I don't think it's even that high.
There will always be buyers at the current prices - and the cars were undervalued for so long that people just got used to it.

Agreed on these points.
As the former owner of a 95 993 couple C2, which I sold for $21k back on 08, I can say that the next time I buy a 993, it will be as a fun commuter car. The 993 is so comfortable with a great ac, power steering and smooth shifting. It's really easy to drive and live with. I drove mine across country a few times and really enjoyed it. Fast forward to now, I have a lightly modified 77 coupe. It is raw, stiff, uncomfortable and no ac. It is complete fun but not something I'd like to drive across the country. But even with the 2.7, it's much more fun to drive than my 993 was.
Since I only put on less than 1k miles per year, I'd rather have a torsion bar 911. If I was doing 15k miles per year, I'd get a 993.
