As some of you are aware, I have expanded my business into the realm of 1:1 models. I have decided to remain focused on Porsches. My two latest acquisitions are a 1969 912 Coupe Tangerine and a 1979 930 Turbo. The 930 Turbo will be kept for several years, the 912 will be sold, very original, survivor with majority original paint and all original interior, matching numbers. Driving the 912 vs the 1973 911T I had is very different, while the 911T obviously has more power, the 912 is lighter and handles better and in many ways much more fun to drive. The 930 Turbo is just flat out fast and pure adrenalin rush.

And if I don't replace the tires from 1999, it will be a widow-maker for sure.

10 years makes a big difference. As cool as the Turbo is, the simple, clean, classic lines of the long hood 911s/912s are still my favorite. They move the soul, the Turbo moves the adrenalin.

Love the looks of the 930 Turbo. I used to own a 912, with a 90 hp engine.
I love the older Porsche cars, the same goes with the BMW M3.
Still have a M3 e36 from 95 in mint condition.
