Default Previous Porsches

Like Mathfuzzy, I had others I loved. I only wish I had garage space to keep them. I particularly loved the 1995 993. The salesman who sold me the 2013 991 owns the 993 and will not sell it back to me. Let me bore you with pictures of the Porsches I have owned since 1974 when I was 30 years-of-age.

I love that silver 87. Beautiful car. If I had tae space, a classic G Modell would be the car I want (next to my 911 50). Thanks for posting.

What year was the black Targa? I had a 1984 that looked almost identical to yours. Oh, I just saw in your sig that it was a 1989, so never-mind.

Thanks for sharing.

How many miles did you out on your 993? Seems as though it enjoyed the longest stay in your garage.

traded it at 98000 miles on the 2013 991 PDK after 18 years. Absolutely no problems. The salesman who bought it from the dealership told me last week that he is amazed it still has the original clutch and rear brakes. I wish I still owned it.

Sounds like the 993 was your favorite of the bunch. Why is that?

And why did you sell it?

I'd take the silver 3.2 out of all of 'em. (Since I already have a 991!). I have settled on a G50 3.2 Carrera for my next 911 (not that I'd pass a really great 915-gearbox Carrera either). About to start construction on a new house in the city that will have a two-car attached and a 3-car carriage house out back. So I'll have an additional bay coming open a year from now. Something to look forward to!

993 is far and away a better car, but since I've got "better car" covered with 991, I really want a more original 911-feel car, and definitely want the full-stovepipe experience.

Love yours!

My previous 87. From stock to track car. Like having two different cars that probably cost as much as three. I love the 991 but that 87 was a great car.

My "addiction" started just in the last few years. first with a 987 Cayman Base as a personal reward when I completed my Masters, then a 981CS which I only had a few months before I aquired a 991.2.

I loved the Caymans, but after having the 991 with the extra space and comfort inside, I don't think I'll do anything but 911's going forward. The 987 Cayman Base was a raw, great car though, on reflection, i liked that better than the 981 Cayman S and still mis it at times.

991.2

I'm still relatively new to Porsches. This was my first one:





Previous on on the right, new one on the left: (Replaced 2012.5 Basalt Black 991S with a 2013 Black 991S with PCCB, Powerkit, Aerokit Cup, SPASM, carbon fiber trim, etc...)
