    Hello all.

    I am new to forum but have an interest in early 911's. A little background on me: I grew up in the Bay Area (huge Giants fan), restored a 65 mustang fastback as my first car in the 90's and since then have collected 60's Chevelles, Camaros, more mustangs, an impala, and some motorcycles. I have been into cars since I was young with Hot Wheels, and tootsie toys. While I have a special appreciation for the muscle cars, that I grew up around. I am in general, a classic car enthusiast, and love many German and Italian designed cars.

    Porsche has always produced very attractive cars, and it is the late 60's early 70's 911 body style that I am drawn to. So while my muscle cars have crept up in value I have noticed a draw also from the early 911. I realize the 911 pulls the same value as my 69 Camaro, but I am not sure if it is going to provide the same pull or " excitement" that my 69 Camaro has. I love the looks of the 911, but if it can't pull hard, I may be disappointed. I grew up with my mom having a 67 Austin Healy 3000 (BJ8) and I am familiar with the car alright, it goes Ok for what it is (6cy with dual SU carbs- factory 150hp. curb weight 2548 lbs.) She still has it and I keep it in tune when I visit her. I am not sure if a 140hp (T) 165hp (E) or 190hp (S) is going to match the looks of the car enough to keep me satisfied with the car.
    I love the look of this car that was recently on BAT:

    I think guys got caught up in the excitement and it went for 78k plus buyers fees would put it at 86k. A bit much for just a entry level 911 T.

    I would like to get some feedback from you guys. I realize many of us muscle car guys come off as unrefined red neck peasants, but I have to start somewhere.

    Is the late 60's/early 70's 911, just a glorified VW bug motor in a classy body?
