I certainly like the idea of having the option to track the car at some point, but probably unlikely given how much they cost now and how hard it would be to find a replacement should I wreck it. I definitely do enjoy the classic chrome look much more and do want to be able to enjoy looking at the car. I have to admit, I'm not crazy about the bumpers on the SC. I also do want to be able to have some fun in it (sound, feel, handling), not just cruising the city streets.

Because of how much both cost now, I think I'd probably have one shot at one before they get way out of reach. I assume you'd include the LWB '69s in the early 912 bucket? What do you think the demand would be for 912s compared to SCs say one or two decades down the road given demographics? Is there worldwide demand for US 912s like there is for our SCs?

I really like the lines of 912 coupes, but I know what you mean about SWTs. I don't like the sun beating down on my head, but do love the open air which opening up the rear gives you. I'm also a bit concerned about how hot coupes could get in the summer. Unfortunately, nice SWTs are out of reach at this point. Do you think the 912 still practical in terms of taking a weekend trip?
