Never remember not being fascinated with THE BRAND. It started with a poster of all the models up until 1981. Then it went to a book I discovered in Barnes & Noble. At 15 I stumbled across a 1974 bumblebee 914 and purchased it from the bank they had repossessed it from a attorney and his wife after a Divorce. I soon joined the PCA and at 16 I was driving to monthly meetings in Macon Georgia. I loved that car and should’ve never sold it. In 1986, at 18 I purchased a 1980 Corvette and sold the 914 the following year. I was without a Porsche for a couple of years but then purchased a 356 and drove it for a number of years. Somewhere around 97, I Pulled up at a buddies art gallery and there was a guards red 911 sitting in the parking lot. I found out it belong to one of his employees and began asking her if she wanted to sell it. Within a few months I had popped on my $16,000 and I had the car that I still have today.
A funny story on that 356, somewhere around 2000 I sold it to a buddy who kept it for a year or two and then sold it at an auction for classic cars. Within a few days after the sell he was contacted by the seller and a former owner of the car who informed him the car had been stolen years previously. Now keep in mind I had a clear title as did the guy I sold it to. It was eventually worked out somehow and the gentleman who bought the car from my buddy was able to keep it and I assume still has it to this day.
