Ultimate Dream Garage: 911 Edition

[Frisky Dingo]

Well, I didn't want to do this on 9/11 with it being such an important date and all, but seeing as in how it is September, I planned on doing a 911 thread.  There may not be many replies on this one, but I know there's a few out there who have an appreciation for the brand. As for me, well, many of you probably know the 911 is my all-around favorite car model, so this one will be both fun an torturous.

The rules-

1) Factory 911's from Porsche only, no RUF's, 9ff's, Singers, etc.

2) Any era and market is allowed.

3) These obviously are not your only cars.

4) Maximum of 9 choices.

Have fun.

1980 to about 1993 air cooled coupe in original unmolested condition. Just a nice driver I can enjoy....that would be it.  My wants are few, my demands are few, but I would love an air cooled 911.

OK Frisky....

I came back just to do this list. For you. For Sled over at MT. (I think I saw two other dream garage threads. Ill do those next)

I am not a Porschephile by any means. Sometimes I see them as  ugly, bug eyed, frog styled Nazi Volkswagen Kafers (Beetles to you folk). But most of the time, I see them as the awesome machines as they are!  I often get lost in its beauty and I sit there staring at it mesmerized by the sheer engineering marvel that it is. I dont know if I could fill all 9 spots, but Ill sure try. These 911s are the ones that I adore the most. And yes, I respect the dickens outta this sports car as its an icon like no other. These 911s are my favorites.

A 911, or a Vette, are not cars that suit my tastes, but I wouldnt mind having several of them in a Jay Leno style garage that I may own...one day...maybe.  (Keep dreaming that dream....)

1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7

1986 930 Turbo

1987 Carrera Targa or 3.3 Turbo Targa.

1989 Speedster

1993 993 Carrera GT2

1997 993 Twin Turbo

2015 Targa 4S

 

I like cars with stripes...

2016 911R

 

And I dont know if this one qualifies as a 911.but the 959 shall be in my garage no matter what is you say Frisky...

 

HEY....what do you know? I actually found 9. Does that make me a bonafide Porshefile?

Thanx Frisky.

Yours is awesome too.

I may be a muscle car guy through and through, an AMERICAN car guy enthusiast at heart, but along the way, I have learned to appreciate the many wonders that exist throughout the world.

Like the 1986 930 Turbo.

It was actually my first time that I fell for the 911. Later I found out that the 1986 930 Turbo is special. My first time in contact with a 911 was in the movie The Bachelor Party in 1984-1985 when it came out on Beta. I did not know how to feel about it but a year or so later fell in love with the  930 Turbo. The Targa from 1987 just looks cool with that whale tail. But those too, (from 1987-1989) have become special models.

From 1989 and on I started doing my homework on the 911 starting with the 959 and when I saw the speedster. And that is when I fell in love with the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7.

Then the 993 came to be and how could anybody not respect the 1993 GT2 and the Twin Turbo of 1997?

I may not like the early 911s before they were called that in 1963 or so, and that is why I may not be a bonafide Porschefile, but I do know enough about them to be...an enthusiast without being a total fan geek about them. But I do respect the dickens outta them.

The 930/911 SC began my Porsche affinity, too. I remember seeing those voluptuous fenders and whale tails as a child in Germany and just having that silhouette burned into my brain permanently. I recall having those little capsules that you put in the bath tub and they grow into sponges of various different shapes and having a red 930 one that I realize now was the pretty much the first automobile I recognized and held as a standard. To this day, I've always been a fan of the brand and that trademark shape.
