G8KeaPoR Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Well I sold my 993. It was a fun 150k miles but the last 8 years it sat uncovered, undriven, and the clear was starting to go on the roof and the quarters. I got 25k for it which had I of covered it I could have got 15 more but the guy at work who bought it is getting it repainted by a friend of mine that does concourse vintage Ferrari restorations. Yes I loved that car but when I had the money to repaint it and do the 911 GT conversion (that’s what they later called the gt2 ). I opted for dumping my money into the 510 the wife bought me. Some of you might think that’s crazy but I am betting in 10 years there will be far fewer 510’s than 993’s on the road and honestly I just think the 510 is cooler although I will admit I’m saving for a hakosuka cause well it’s as cool as the 510 in my book but anyway I wanted to share my sad story cause that 993 I learned to build Porsche’s thanks to the last owner of Autothority Minh Nguyen who passed away and was a great friend and mentor. I know this isn’t a Porsche place but I found a new passion in cars that had mostly died with him so I thought it was worth mentioning here. Perhaps that’s why I find the 510 cooler than the Porsche but I’m pretty sure he won’t be mad at me! 2 Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I agree, the 510 is cooler and the dude won't be mad....a car guy is still a car guy regardless of what he thinks is cool...IMHO. 2 Quote Link to comment
