Hard to imagine it was 52 years ago that I dragged my dad to Park Porsche in Lawrence Mass. to co-sign the loan for this car..
I was 18 and actually wanted a 750 Honda. My parents weren't impressed and said... Go Buy a NIce Car.. And here we are.... It was a lifetime ago.... Haven't touched it for a long time.. But it is still out in the garage...  |

That’s really cool. What an awesome investment, 52 years of enjoyment and worth many multiples of what you paid for it

Let’s just call it sideways - certainly not a small fraction of inflation adjusted initial cost. If the vehicle is well kept it’ll take about two hours to move a 914/6 at $44k. 52 years of enjoyment might be considered priceless by some. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)  |
