Sold my 77 Targa last year for $23K. Good deal for all concerned. Bought a well sorted 996 cab. Light years away from the 911. At 71, tired of wrenching on an old Porsche. The cab is a nice car, and I have an opportunity to sell it and make a few bucks. Pretty much done with Porsche as prices for anything decent are stratospheric. I can't afford to build another on my fixed income so I am getting out. Probably buy an Audi, Volvo or BMW coupe as a daily driver. My friend wants me to build a roller coupe and I was seriously considering it, but had second thoughts. Too bad as I really love these cars, and I remember buying mine 10 years ago for $3500.00. Matching numbers engine/trans and zero rust. I see crapped out, rusted rollers minus engine/trans, no glass with asking price of $12-$15K. Seriously? Count me out. I'll probably be dead by the time Porsche prices are again realistic.
