I'm going nuts. The wait is killing me...GET THAT CAR.
You're going to have a blast with that beauty and your satisfaction will still be intact 2, 5, 10 years from today. These cars have an insidious way of owning you. It is nice your family is involved and supporting, join your local PCA club chapter and develop some outlets for your enthusiasm. Socials, drivers Education especially, and weekend get-togethers are a huge bonus in 911 ownership.
Congrats.
I'm as green as Shreck with envy.

Ed, you were absolutely dead on. Just reached home after the seller took a good 90 minutes explaining where what us..then pictures taken when keys were handed over..followed by a two hour ride home. The readers are now referred to my next new thread that's on it's way called " Wow..what a car " for the continued saga on my newly inducted family member.

1st timer hunting for a 87-88 3.2 had driven a couple yet had overlooked the 86 with the 915 gearbox
assumed they are more prone to wearing out compared to g-50. is it rear that the g-50 need rebuilding.
Trying to sort out which car is more reliable plus likely to hold its future value and be in more demand 915
or G-50. Plan was to buy the right car the 1st time any advice by current owners of either,

And what about the '84-85 3.2's? You buy the entire car, not just the transmission. You should go for the best car. The 915 is just fine, Porsche only built 10's of thousands of them...
