Being an SC owner, I don't know much about older Porsches, but I have a friend who's shopping for a 911 and he's found a '68 911L that he wants. He's a car guy--has been both Panoz's and Lotus USA's
PR person--but he's not a restorer or somebody who wants to undertake a major fix-up campaign. He just wants a fun car that he and his wife can both drive and enjoy.
My immediate sense is that a car this old--supposedly has 100,000 miles and of course the seller claims that it's in "great shape"--is something to steer clear of if you're a relatively casual buyer, but if I told him that, would I be steering him away from something that's actually super-desirable?
My sense would be to give him the old "buy the newest 911 you can afford" advice and steer him to a good PPI.
Opinions?
