It seems to me the recent drive up of early 911s (pre '73) was fueled by strong demand in the Euro market. I am not sure how their markets are or will recover from this. Also consider that cars of that vintage are, no doubt, the cars that the current 50 y/os remember in their youth. As such, one could argue that as that demographic ages, so too will interest wane slightly. Not many 30 y/os searching out 356s these days for instance.
Over time, the early 911s/930s will appreciate first. Currently, SC and 3.2 Carerras are thought of as "track rats" by some. Still not yet worthy of restoration.
930s are more complex than SCs. If your mechanical skills are lacking, regardless of car type, then prepare yourself for $110/hour shop rates and buy the car YOU want to enjoy and worry less about what others say you should be buying.
