Agree with you Ronnie. However, those "genuine freaks of nature" are more of a newer phenomenon vs. the age of these cars.. most of these from the 70's & 80's were driven with much regularity, with your true garage queens scattered here and about. I say this based on the number and frequency of 930's that I've seen over the years at various events, and just moving around on a daily basis through the 80's and 90's. Mind you, they were never just cheap used Porsches.. they always commanded a higher price than the average 911 unless it had major issues.
Again, when most, especially the 2nd and 3rd owners got their hands on these cars, they were like teenagers with their first piece of azz.. just couldn't stay outta that thang! Ran the miles up, and maybe later sold due to life changes or whatever.. and now after changing hands before the air-cooled run-up they suddenly reappear with less mileage after several years rest?
