The 3.4 and 4.0 would be my picks. I don't think the non-4.0 997 variants will become collectible.

I am out of space and out of money. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks!\\

Well, like I said before, I never thought they existed. As far as I know the MK.I is 3.6.

Drive all of them, sell the 3.8, too similar to the 4.0

Sell the 3.8
Drive them all
None of them will experience any significant appreciation for a long time
And whatever is next will be faster

In 20 years they will maybe be worth something more but it's a bit like locking a 20 year old virgin super model in the basement - the torture of a 20 year wait will be a let down because the 2031 RS will be a 6:07 ring time

Speaking of collections and rarity... I just purchased a '76 Carrera 2.7 MFI RS.... this is one of the rarest RS' on the planet... even more rare than the coveted '73 RS. Porsche made only 123 of them for special order clients throughout Europe.. mostly for racing (as the racers wanted the MFI for tuning purposes). They made 1500 '72-73 RS' and good examples sell for well above $350k+. According to those in the know, only 30 or so of them exist. Mine is being fully restored and is a full #'s matching example in Continental Orange with Black and Tan interior. I will have a thread documenting the restoration. I am super stoked!

Here are photos of an example in a different color...

To OP: great quiver of cars. I would sell the 3.8 & 3.6, keep the 4.0 and 996. Then get a classic to offset the new, more refined RS; as the classics have a soul and character no longer found in modern cars.
