What I am hearing for example is " I am just not driving my 356 as much any more. I can not compete in traffic with it as easily as my SWB 911 and I still get the early vintage feel with the SWB" I have heard a variation of that with some frequency.
356's are entering the realm of static display collectable, many are driving of course but the early 911 has taking the 356's place as a drivable vintage Porsche.
The early 911 is looking as simple to the modern Porsche owner as the 356 did to the 911 owner so the vintage feel is just as pronounced to the modern Porsche owner.
I am seeing the price of 1965-1973 911's climbing and easily surpassing 356's of equal shape and options.
The SWB 911's are the pre A 356
The 2.4L 911 are the 356 C's
The 73 911 Carrera is $ wise on par with the 356 Carrera
Of course the 356 Carrera has a much more unique engine than the 73 Carrera and it can not be as easily duplicated like its 911 brethren so I doubt that price rise integrity of the 73 Carrera.
