I'm not wealthy and can't afford to maintain a bunch of cars as I move to retire in 3 years. I have an 83 911 that is a great runner but a 6/10 cosmetically now and set up as a track car. I also have 3 914s. Only one is worth anything. It's a nice Bumblebee.
With the 356, one of my worries, even with insurance, was getting hit and finding someone who can properly repair it. Sure, insurance may pay for it, but there is no one within several hundred miles of me that could properly repair a 356. I just found myself driving it less and less and it was really the only one of my cars that was ready to go. In my extreme catastrophic thinking moments at 4am, I also see a time when no one wants these things. Have you been to a 356 gathering? I'm 62 and would be considered a young guy in that crowd :-)
