I have a very old Kimber 1911. I have had issues with the tolerances and the gun shops have told me it's crap and offer me ludicrously low values.....I think the firearm world is just like the cool car world.....be aware and be smart. I know what it's worth. The same thing applies with the 911 world....I don't care what the markets insanity says, a 1977 911 had issues and is not worth what people are asking.....
Still, if I could get another air cooled 911 at a reasonable price.....
