    Stock market down to ~1997 levels, when a '73 Porsche RS could be bought for...

    While cleaning the basement I came across this old 1997 issue of Autoweek..
    ..talk about hindsight!

    Heck, I could have bought a great RST for $60K in 1998! Prices on those went up and down and back up again between 1973 and 2000. Who knows where they are headed next.

    please excuse one more non-Porsche blurb from the '97 Autoweek ads--


    ___________________________________________

    so just for fun I googled the '62 Ferrari 250GT S/N #3087 above;
    absolutely stunning car (pics linked below)-- the same exact vehicle apparently underwent a mid six-figure $ resto, then crossed the block at RM auctions this past summer for $4M+.

    ..the GTB/4 looking good too at $265!

    It would seem that back in 97 you could buy any one of these bargain basement cars 'regardless of past credit history'........Halcyon days :-)
