I think this is a good point- I am early 40s in age and have no interest in a 356, only some interest in an early 70s model 911. The ones I remember wanting the most growing up were the 80's models and especially the 930.

I have decent mechanical skills- just no desire to take apart an engine to do a rebuild- I can and will do lots of work on my own cars. With the current Carrera I have done everything except the top overhaul which was left to a 25-yr Porsche master mechanic.

While we're on the topic of 930 models? How much more maintenance/TLC do they need versus a stock Carrera of the same vintage?

Thanks!
