I bought my '77 911S in 1995 when I was 18. I definitely wouldn't have been able to afford a 911 at 18 if the mid year 2.7s weren't so hated in the 90's. The previous owner backdated the exhaust, put in an 11 blade fan and pressure fed chain tensionsers, so there have been a few mods. But other than that, 22 years later I have a numbers matching, original paint and interior 911 that I thoroughly enjoy driving on the weekends.
I just started taking her to some local car shows this summer, and I have to say I felt a little out of place in a car that, only a few years ago, I was constantly defending saying things like; "yeah it's a mid year 2.7, but it's has the appropriate updates, it's still fun to drive, and it was the one I could afford when I was 18, so who cares". Also, the color definitely added to the car's "less desirable"
