Pretty cool.

I was thinking about this the other day, It seems like we only have about 1/3 of the 6s accounted for.

Lots of potential for barn-finds and survivor cars out there.

I posed a comment, they are about 5 years too late to the investment party. The cheap ones are already gone...well, cheap in the eyes of us cheap-skate 914 owners (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Interesting article, but it states the 911T was the flagship of the marque. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I think it was written, yet again, by someone who knows very little about early 1970's Porsches.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Didn't mention the M471 specifically or the 916, though mentioned the two unobtanium 914/8s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) .

Product of lazy web-surfing research, that's my guess.

"This put its cost within spitting distance of that of the least expensive variant of Porsche's flagship model, the 911T."

Poorly written... pretty sure the writer meant the 911 as the flagship model, and the 911T as the least expensive variant. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Wait... isn't that what it says...I don't think they were identifying the 911T as the flagship model, I thnk they meant that in the line of 911's ( the flagship model) the 911T was the least expensive...take "the 911T" out of the sentence and see how it reads.

At least that's how it read to me. But I'm often confused and wrong...just ask my wife. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
