I was born 3/11/71. Went for my first ride in what is now my 356 on 3/14/71, on the way home from the hospital.

Dad died in '94, I was supposed to get the M491 911 (now Shaun's) and older brother was to get 356, but older brother had no interest in owning either car, so I let mom "have" the 911. She had a local shop do some work and presented the keys and title to me the day my daughter was born - 7/26/2000. Strangely enough, I found Dad's original receipt for the 356 - he paid $3750 for the C coupe w/ a dealer installed Artic Kar AC unit and took delivery from White Porsche of Tampa on 7/26/65.

13 years. It has been part of our lives ever since. We took it on our honeymoon all over the UP of Michigan.

I've owned various 911 and 914 models since 1979

35 years

Ive owned my 911 GT5 car since 1990, and the 914 GT3 car since 1998

Have ballled up a few cars, and rendered others unusable after track outings

I've also done the opposite of the Johnny Cash song, I've disassembled and disposed of a now $$$ early long hood 911S by cutting it up with a sawzall, and over a period of weeks tossing it into the work dumpster...

I had my 944 for a little over ten years and enjoyed every moment.

wdfifteen,

That is an amazing ownership history. Lots of great 356 miles over the last 41 years I assume.

Congratulations for having the commitment to stay with these two amazing Porsches for all this time.

I owned the 930 for over 7, the longest I ever held onto a single car. I have had the 993 for EXACTLY one year with no plans to to sell.

16 years for the 944. Spends most of the time in the garage now. it's getting a little harder to get in & out as I get older. Had a couple of good offers, one over $ 9000.00 but I ain't ready to give it up yet.
