I think the current resale prices for air cooled 911's outweigh any sense of nostalgia or sentimentality. A stock 2001 Boxster will smoke any pre-993 911 on the track, and you can have cold A/C.

Plus, it's up to $12K-$15K for a 3.0 or 3.2 rebuild…and fewer and fewer shops that can do it. The Spec Boxster guys are finding good motors in junk yards for $4500, and rebuilding them stronger for less than $10K.

I say cut loose the air-cooled cars to those who hoard them in garages and collections and drive a water pumper like you stole it!
