[widebody911]

I bought my first 911 in (IIRC) 1990. I had a little bit of money saved, and I found a few in the paper and went and did some test drives. There was a nice '72 911S (yes, an "S") for $8k, but that was out of my price range. I looked at one targa project that was in the middle of a sportomatic-to-manual conversion, but decided I didn't want to undertake that mess. I ended up getting a '72 Targa for $7200. It was pretty much every penny I had at the time. When I ran the tank down to near empty, I had to park it and ride my bike to work until I got paid because I had no cash for gas!
