Excellent. Drive them all unless you mean to turn a profit (not that it is a guarantee at all - if collecting for yourself only, enjoy the driving too). Personally car collecting is not my specialty and while driving isn't either, I am pretty sure that I'm a better driver than collector.

In any event, forget what I wrote above. What I really think is that you should start every morning by taking pictures of these cars. Different angle each morning and they should be there to greet rennlist visitors.

Good luck.

When the market comes back I would like the 996, Reter the 4.0, Erik the 3.8......and if the green one has deviated stitching Deputy Dog will want that one

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.
dude - how long were you searching for the '76? you get a decent deal (no details needed)?

+1 What have previous cars sold for? I saw one at Rennsport and was embarrassed that I didn't even know these existed.
