I just found a 67 912 soft window here in Tucson and I`ve owned a 930 and a 1970 911s and I have FUN driving this.I`m 63 and don`t drive crazy anymore and the car is solid and rust free and also has 100,000 miles on it,but was very well maintained here.Just make sure you like the car and it appeals to you and you are in it for the right reasons,e.g., the ones you listed.Then get a PPI and go from there.If it appreciates,so much the better,but don`t buy it with that in mind.TFM
