    Well after all the admiration for the 911S cars, maybe we need to find a new black sheep --how about 1969 911T with the lowest HP ever 110 ? Chris

    By now, most ‘69Ts (including mine) have had engine rebuilds to S-spec. Why the need for a “black sheep”?

    good question-- maybe no 911's qualify for black sheep status. What about the 924?

    Just as I suspected; many '69 owners may need to retreat to their safe spaces from all of the trigger warnings here.

    Whether it's a "black sheep", "red-headed step child", "lowest common denominator", or "dross" things are often described in terms of desirability which often equates to financial value. For those '69 owners who may be disheartened by this KNOW that it's not personal and that '68 911's may actually have your's beat in the "least desirable" category. At least when comparing U.S. cars.
