I believe too!

Some of the 20's/30's cars are the best ever, but a 911 is different. There is an unbroken lineage up to now- and with the 997 it seems the shape will be with us for a long time yet.
They have always been, and will be for a long time yet a desirable car to many.

Where the early 911 wins is its purity. Sure, they're old now, but they still look like a 911 should. They drive reasonably modern (compared to other 60's /70's cars) and they have an undeniable retro look to their finish.

This is the market as I see it:

*People who couldn't afford one when they were new. A perenial, but the desirable models change as the years pass.

*People who like 911's, but want a cheap one (but for not much longer?)

*Classic car guys. These are the ultimate practical classic sports car, and this period represents the best of pre-legislation form & function

*Style gurus. Skinny wheels, slim hips and chrome trim look cool nowdays.

This is a large base to draw from- larger than most old cars. I believe values will continue to climb. Jury is out on the targas, but I know which one I'd pick for a sunny clear day's drive to clear the working week cobwebs.
