[911SauCy]

PML, if I didn't know any better I would say you are my dad with all the concerns, worries, and what-ifs.

Years back, My dad wanted to buy a '71 Z28 RS Type LT, in an ugly rare brown, just like the one he had at 22. Well, this was right before the "muscle car" bubble began to really ramp up. He thought I was a pain but was trying to push him into a solid #s matching example, knowing what the future held...

His hemming, hawing, and just nit-picky concerns over the most stupid details on 3 very nice examples led to him never buying one...prices were between $14-16k at the time. Now they're north of $35k and he is kicking himself that he never pulled the trigger over small ticket "what-ifs".

If you want a 911 this bad and dont have time for all the other motions, JUDGE THE CRAP OUT OF THE SELLER. Look at everything from his clothing, way he talks/walks, lawn/yard maintenance and overall care of everything he/she owns. This will tell you a lot more than a valve-job on paper a couple years back.

Granted, that stuff is important, but a lot can be told from other details some folks may never consider.

Just remember...each month you don't own one, the prices are slowly ticking up...

Seriously, good luck with the chase but don't give yourself an ulcer from a process that should be enjoyable.
