I was 17 years old and purchased a new 1976 930. In its day, the 930 (Turbo Carrera) was an incredibly swift car and was one of the nicest Porsche's I ever owned. I have owned 9 Porsches in the last 33 years, and my advice is that I would never buy a car believing that I will own it for ever, or that it will be a future classic. Some of the cars made today may be future classics, but not in our lifetime. Don't buy a car to garage it, but rather buy it to drive and enjoy it. Why be a caretaker to preserve history?
