Yes!!! Look at PRE 73 911 prices......7 years ago those cars were $10K- $15K.

Let's face FACTS......These GT40's are KIT CARS....Like it or not....That's the reality of the market place when it comes to these cars.....ERA 427 Cobras have been in the $50K range for 20 Years. I know...I've purchased them over the years. These cars are NOT good investments....BUT....A well bought 911 can be a HELL of an investment. And it won't take you a YEAR to sell it should you decide to.

Pre- 73 911's have gone from $10K.....7 to 9 years ago....to $80K+++ today.

If you find a really nice Pre 73 911 coupe that you could grab for $40K....You could make $$$$ on that car everyday you owned it. Unlike a CAV that costs $100K + to build and is worth a FRACTION of that a year later.

Personally, I've been recommending 1984-89 Porsche 911's as investment grade cars to anyone I know....As the prices of the pre 73 cars explodes, the later cars have nowhere to go but UP....Especially when you consider how much BETTER those 84-89 Carrera's are!!! Better driving, more modern features, but a true air cooled 911 experience that will do 80 MPH all day long and still get 26 mpg with an engine that will go 250,000 miles without a problem. And those cars are built like TANKS....I have 3 of them. Last of the HAND BUILT 911's....We will NEVER see their likes again. Close the door on a 84-89 Carrera and you'll understand what true quality is all about. I have a paintless dent removal guy that I've used for years that HATES working on these 911's because the sheet metal is so much THICKER than current cars. It takes him 3 times as long to work his magic on these old 911's.
