I realize old 911's have been appreciating to high values for a while now...
That is something I am painfully aware of - LOL - as back in 1983 I bought my BMW 2002 over a 1968 911.
Both the 2002 and 911 that I was looking at in 1983 were ~ $6,000.
While I do admit, the 2002 was the better car for me and what I needed at the time, the values of the old original 911's just kept going north whereas my 2002 was (more or less) stagnant...

I should have bought the 911... LOL
Still - That is an exceptional car and unique configuration - but JEEZZEE....

I had flashbacks when I saw that car in the link - the color of the 911 I looked at was the same. LOL
