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?

Darn good choices Jay. As for me I would select the following

60's - Late 60's E or S
70's - '73 911 S (my 2nd P-car) or the 2.7/2.8 Ducktail RS or the '74/75 930
80's - I was in the wilderness and lost my Porsche way
90's - I agree, 993C2S
2000- 997S, what else. To me the greatest production Porsche ever

2000: GT3 best 911 ever
90: 993 turbo
80: 930
70: RS
60: s

I like the Soft Window S pick by VAN.83LTD!!! Well done sir, well done!

There is a fellow out west who AX his '68 911L soft window Targa and cleans up like you wouldn't believe. I wonder why Porsche only made 1 year of the soft window, in my mind it would have taken off and been very popular. Best wishes - Jay

ehhh, the thing is it also lacks security... easy to slice through....
maybe someone at porsche had that happen to them?

The soft rear window shrunk over time (in the sun) and was virtually impossible to rezip up over time. That's really why they went on to the targa window.

When you put it like that it makes sense. That also makes me think twice about where I park my Wrangler! Thanks for the post. Best wishes - Jay
PS - It is still a good looking post.
