I haven't told anyone up to this point, but I sold my 73"S". Very depressed and very depressing, but I got what the car was worth. Not talking about it! What will these cars be worth not only has to do with the price of gas, but what they are using as gas.
If OPEC continues to cut back on oil production (all BS to begin with) and prices continue to rise, will the free world decide to go to some other type of fuel in 5 years? It was tentative when we moved to unleaded gas (supposed issues with the valves seats, etc.), but who knows where this may end up.
I beleive that these cars will continue to go up due to their respective pedigrees, but the upkeep may be prohibitive forcing prices down. I don't think this will happen, but our political engine and other motives may change our hobby.
In all, I am sure those in the know in Porsche circles will design products (yet a new product center in the secondary market) that will allow the older cars to function well under most conditions. Will we want to drive them at that point is a totally different topic.
Thanks,
Marc
