I have a 77 911 that is low miles and like new. The car gets, as most of you also experience, a lot of looks at gas stations and some people think they cost the same as a Ferrari.
A guy with a new F250 4WD truck was filling up opposite me one day and said “one day – I’d like to have you car for one day. How bout we trade”. I looked at the new F250 knowing about what they cost and said to him that I only live a mile away and I could go get my title and would be happy to trade even right there at the gas station – he could drive away in the car of his dreams. I was serious and figured I could sell it and find another 911 and come out ahead. He thought I was joking and never took me seriously, stating he knew my car was worth 3 times what his truck cost and didn’t believe me when I told him it was a 77 mdl.
My wife and I had a good laugh about it.
I don’t care what you SC and turbo look guys say – those mid 70’s cars really are the timeless design.
