Carrera G50 coupe concours perfect 10k miles 100 percent orig.
RS America, driver respray, ex track car, 75k miles

Well without more info i'll say I'd keep the 356a and/or the 993TT will hold their value the best. As far as what you sell the rest for all depends on condition and not enough info to do that with~

I doubt this is a hypothetical situation.
I'd keep them all.

G50 BUT, to drive it would be to depreciate it. If its a PTS 84 with 10k that is going to only go up.

ALL of them are worth keeping.

Keep the 996GT3. It's on the upswing in collector value and poised to skyrocket as Porsche introduces more and more electronic trickery into their cars.

The 996GT3 is the last Porsche built without nanny control ... its a motor, trans, and ABS.

It is the last, true successor to the original RS lineage.

All that aside, it's a joy to drive on the street and at the track. All the amenities and safety devices of a modern car, but the soul of an early 911. I'm just sorry I missed my window when they were $40K...
