Steve,

I have NOT read the responses and I am sure there are some very good ones.

Make sure whether you desire a G50 or a 915 transmission first and foremost! Drive both of them, they are different beasts. I prefer the 915 in my '83, Wife prefers the G50 in her 993. We both HATE having a six speed as the sixth gear never gets used and the fifth gear only once or twice in several years. I do not remember using fifth in my '83 more than once.

Look more for condition and care of the vehicle rather than a garage queen with low miles. My '83 required ALOT of work to straighten out after being a garage queen. Now she has been one again for the past five years so i might have to start over again. The cars do better with regular driving and proper maintenance. Sank thousands into the in-laws Model 400A after it sat for years in a museum (had to redo every line, gasket, anything rubber, and regrease EVERYTHING) but it was still an almost completely original 400A including paint but with new material over the horsehair.

Break the years up. 78-79 SC, 80-83 SC, 84-86, 87-89, 89-94 (964), 95 (993), 96-99? (993)

Find the best example. For my opinion: 80-83SC, 87-89, 89-94, and 95 would be my targets. each have their pluses and minuses. Do not be scared of high mileage on a well maintained vehicle.

If you are keeping a garage queen then buy one but be prepared to pay premium money for them.

Heck, didn't even charge $.02.
