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.

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...

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. Bruce Ladd

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.
