Are we dinos?, Been watching Pano Options

[Pat Garvey]

A little concerned about recent issue of Pano & the early cars for sale!

Most recent issue had 3-4 356's & no 912's! 914s were sparse too & most were DE or track cars.

What's the thought? Are we becoming dinos too, just like the 356/912 people?

Or, do we just not go to PCA these days? Like to hear your commennts.

Good thread- thx, Pat.
My PCA group has always been enthusiastic about 914s. A few are from the "used to have a..." school, but most are not air-cooler types anymore, no grease under the fingernails. The rest are almost as clueless as a non-Porsche owner, but think it's "ugly, in a cute way!" and don't really even appreciate their own cars, with the exception of appearance.
Most 356 guys now go to high-end restoration type places too. There is a great yearly 356 concours I go to, that clearly reflects this. Most could tell you "who", or "how much", but not "how". A few were wa-a-ay mechanically capable, but had more money than time. The opposite seems to be true of at least 50% of 914 owners- that is; no money, but good brains and hands.
I got the best and most complete acknowledgement from a group of early 911 (longhood) owners (R-gruppe) on the way to Daytona once, and in my estimation, thats true cred.
