How many cars from 1965 are even still around? Moving up your timeline, even 27 years, or 23 years. While they may not be driven much, they are still around.

I would guess that if you looked at other expensive marques you would not see a similar percentage...and I would also speculate that there are more garage queens in other brands than in Porsche.

Also, 148K on a car built 46 years ago? Certainly it happens, but I think most cars back then were not expected to live longer than 50K.
