Default My Favorite Ex Porsche...

This was my favorite ex or past Porsche a 79 911SC. Even more so then the two turbos I had. Guess it's that NA thing. This was back in the late eighties when I was in my twenties. I used to go to a lot of PCA events and car shows back then in Denver. One pic is the car at Currigan Hall and another was a PCA event at the Cherry Creek Shopping center before it was torn down and became Cherry Creek Mall. Denverites on here will know this. For those who have seen my other posts. Will know that I have a thing for stripes on cars. You can see how far back that goes as evidenced here. Of interesting note is the pic with the captions in the interior. For some crazy reason back then. I thought it was cool to have a lot electronic gadgets in the car. Post your favorite ex (car only - lol) as well.

2007 GT3 - wonderful car and enjoyed the mileage in it. have since had all generations of the GT3 cars except the 996 and makes me wonder if that is a future purchase.

535HP to the rear wheels, zero traction control! Never should have sold it - but it tripled in value and got me into a GT car....

Found these pics of my 1975 911S. Wish I had that car still. It was a lot of fun. Except for the time I was showing off with a friend in it and almost rolled it coming in too hot off the highway to the exit. Bought it used in 1983. If memory serves me correctly I think I paid $9,500 for it.

Ha, I wanted this car so bad when it was for sell. Good to see you still have the 73.
