Some people dream of strange things. I wanted a 911 from the first time I sat one in 1967. Dad needed a new car, and I pestered him constantly for us to go test drive a 911.
The perfect family car for a family of 4 with two teenage boys.
I got to touch and feel it, and ride scrunched up in the back. Fell in love on the spot. Dad bought an Oldsmobile Delta 88 with a 454 for way less money (it was 1967 and gas was cheap) and it had a bit more leg room in the back for my brother and I.
I worked one job and a part time gig to earn the money to buy a 74 914 2.0 brand new. 21 years later I bought my 85 911. It has since pretty much tripled in value, and has returned many hours of fun. What other car from the mid 1980s can be driven to 41 states, and scream around tracks like Laguna Secca, in Californai to Roebling Road in Georgia. I did not buy my 911 as an investment, it is a toy. And a dang fun toy. Worth every penny. It is not for sale for less than 100 grand, maybe 120K.
