Stanley James Posted 12January, 2011 Report Share Posted 12January, 2011 I am beginning to research 993 and later cars, having owned earlier 911 models in the 70s/80s. Any thoughts on “collector” status of 993, 996 etc? Thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM911T Posted 12January, 2011 Report Share Posted 12January, 2011 Collector status often depends on the history of the individual car. Rarity enhances collectability.IMHO 993 is more collectable, but so is a pristine MK1 996 GT3. I'd go for the limited edition cars or RS/GT models. If price is an indicator early 356s, 73 911RS and RSR, then 964RS and RSR stand out to me. And if you can get one a 959 or Carrera GT. Sure there will be more opinions.

AndyS Posted 13January, 2011 Report Share Posted 13January, 2011 Hi Stanley, I am a 996 owner but for collectability definately a 993. Far fewer made, last of the air cooled old world 911. If i were shopping based on collectability I would be looking for manual trans and if dollars permit 'S' or '4S' models the pick.

Chris-p Posted 13January, 2011 Report Share Posted 13January, 2011 Unless you are lazy like me and go for the Tiptronic! But I do agree with Andy. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-banger Posted 13January, 2011 Report Share Posted 13January, 2011 Hi Stanley, I think the market tells the story. The 993 cockpit will be very familiar to you. Time for you to reacquaint yourself, me thinks. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
