Yep!
Quick story. The PO of my '83 is a friend of mine. I met him when I transferred jobs at a company we both worked for. I remember the first day I saw it when he drove it to the office. My jaw sripped. Our mutual affection for Porsches was our common bond. Once we became friends I told him if he EVER wanted to sell the car, I wanted first right of refusal.
Fast forward 10 years. I was in a hotel room on a business trip earlier this year and I got an email from him saying the car just went up on Craigslist but it's mine if I'm serious about first right of refusal. Obviously I was serious.
When I got back in town I went over to get the car and he and his wife were bleary-eyed. People from Germany had been calling ALL NIGHT wanting to buy the car and they couldn't get any sleep. Others offered more than the asking price. Had it not been because of our friendship (and the fact he gets visitation rights) I'm certain this one would've been back in Germany.
So, yes. It is sad that these great cars aren't staying in this country.
