Our local dealership had the "introduction" party for the 992 just last week. They asked the local PCA region for some older 911s as an historical display of the 911. We had one member bring a 2018 911 Turbo, and a 996, and a 993 Cabriolet, and then my 1985 911. My car was the oldest car there, and represented the G body era. No owners with a long hood 911 was available that evening.
Anyway, my car was the first car one saw when they walked in the room.
This is the typical chick that just hangs out around my car when I park it anywhere.
Anyway, they had free food and booze, so a big crowd. I hung around my car and answered questions about it. I had dozens of men and several women say my car was their dream car. Most people were amazed I actually drive it, and are amazed when I tell them I have driven that car in 40 states, working on driving it in all 48, and it has been in Canada.
The head salesman at the dealership told me my car was the star of the shown and more people gathered around it than the 992s they had featured. I think he was exaggerating, but it did draw a lot of interest.
The new 992 was $138,000 my car sold new for $38,000 back in 1985. If you do the inflation caculator they 38K is $90,676.97, so the new 911 is way bigger, and million times more complex, way faster, and not really that much more.
The big difference, my car will not be depreciating, unlike the 992.
