Ha ha, i saw this on facebook just other day, somebody claimed photoshop....i cant tell, rear wheels of pickup are squatted. I cant see somebody cutting up a 24 window though....as far as i know, they are getting over 100 k now for done right original. Sure a great looking duo.

Oh Yes.....Money....the sound of that air cool flat 12 is mezmerizing. I almost bought a 904 in 1975 for 7500.00.....kick me like the energizer bunny.My mother had a 1978, 928. When she sold it, I didn't want the upkeep costs. My buddy still has it.
Most bad-*** car ever built.........917

Just buy it, there is nothing like the way a Porsche handles on a twisty mountain road........or anywhere else for that matter!

A bunch of years ago I restored a 72 911T and put 35K miles on it until it got too annoying to drive on a daily basis. I'm also pretty well connected with the R Gruppe, which is mainly for early cars, but lots of experts there that also know the newer cars. You might join Rennlist or Pelican forums. Short answer is if it's broke or it breaks you will be too.

'lift throttle oversteer' they can turn into real handfuls. The 'Goose had it bad.....demanded very careful throttle adjustments @ speed.

I have a 928s , 84 model . to me it looks like the one in the movie Risky Buisness . It was a scream to drive , v8 car . Need to restore it but Roadrunner comes first ...

I can only imagine the cost to restore it . not sure if that will happen as of yet . but it is a thought as it was a fast car and so much fun to drive .

At least it won't cost as much as air cool. My chop bug has a 67 911 S t-axle. Just the axle is worth 10 - 15 K.

I have owned a few, parts can be very expensive for vintage air cooled now. 914 is a very neat under appreciated car. Still own the Viper Green 911 but sold the others.

Yep, 914's are a Ball.

Porsches are like having a mistress
Always have a headache and they cost you a lot of money on top of being "high maintenance"
