Default 911 through the decades

If you could list one 911 from each decade, which would it be?

Mine:

60's - 1967 S (love the short wheel base)
70's - 1977 3.0 Euro (anyone can have a RS or an S, besides my first 911 ride was in one of these)
80's - 1989 930
90's - 993 C2S (Turbo look, without the Turbo cost)
2000's - 996 GT3

What are all of yours?

60's - 1969 911 S 2.0 (170 hp in that little car is madness!)
70's - 1979 911 SC (unbelievably long-lasting motors)
80's - 1988 959 (does this count? if not, i'll take a 1989 930)
90's - 1997 993 TT
00's - 2004 996 GT3

Now if I only had the garage space.

60's - 1969 911 S 2.0 (170 hp in that little car is madness!) - I must agree with that one
70's - 1972 911 (I just like the oil filler flap difference...)
80's - 1988 911 with the Turbo Look
90's - 1997 C2S (I dream of owning another one)
00's - 2005 996 GT3 (yeah... I dream of one as well...)

Jaime,
I didn't even think about the Turbo Look!!!!!! What a fantastic car to own. Has everything turbo (the look, brakes, suspension, etc.) but at a lot less the price. Good call!!!!!!

Jay,

Thnx. The SC is actually the main reason I bought my 964 and here's why:
When I was in grade school (in the late 80s) my dad had a 1978 SC. Several years passed and in the late-1990's, it had over 310000 miles on the clock before its rebuild. To me, that's amazing for any car, but especially a sports car. The engineering is SUPERB! I had to have my own as early as I could get it and here I am.

Harry,
My Father introduced me to the Porsche brand very early as well. Now, look at me! I am crazy about Porsches and I can't imagine owning another sports car brand. Best wishes - Jay
