Yea, I bought my 911 28 years ago. It has over quadrupled in value. I don't think I could find a replacement for it. Every single bit of it works like designed, or way better. All the suspension rubber has been replaced with new rubber bushings, new shocks, and turbo tie rods, ball joings and so on, rebuilt engine and transmission, PBM refurbished the calipers, the paint looks great, and I just did a 3,500 mile trip solo through the very remote deserts of New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern California and the car ran like a new car. Dead on reliable and I did two 11 hour days in a row both going and coming. No issues.

What other mid 1980s car ever made can do that, and be worth over 4 times what I paid for it. All I did when I got home was do an oil change, and wash of a few million bugs.


This was 450 miles from home, so yet more bugs were added.
