I can't imagine a "vintage Boxster" and out of the 32 cars that we have on our schedule for engine reconstructions only two of them are Boxsters, the rest are 996/997 or Caymans. Thats much different than the old days when we started this, back then it was rare to see a 996 here. hell, I can't imagine a "vintage 996" either.
I am not betting on the cars holding value, so in the December issue of Panorama you'll be introduced to "Cayman X" and our DFI (post 2009) engine program thats now 4 years in the making. Its always about getting into the next big thing before the next guy :-)
Thats why we went straight to 4.2 liters from the factory 3.4!

Thanks for your insight. I didnt buy mine to collect but will keep it in as great of shape as possible...seems like the only thing to do is keep it bone stock and enjoy and move on or build a big ass motor and really enjoy it for what it is.
