We'll see. 5 years in "stasis" doesn't bode well.

BTW; a BMW (not just a) bike sold for $488,000 this weekend.

Not too shabby for 2 wheels. Can store more in a small place and values
continue to trend upward. (Like I care)

Does anyone have info on this car??
http://sloancars.com/361/1967-911s-t...lack-restored/

Took a quick look at the pics: the car has a non SWB engine lid, 70-71 five bar engine lid grill, 68L rocker decos, LWB engine fan housing with wrong coil, etc. I heard the paint was really nice so I guess the shop that restored the car knew how to prep and paint, but not much about how a MY 67S is supposed to look. The front and rear Amco accessory ram bars make me think of my aunt's 912, but really, a shop that would agree to put a drive-in paint job on the calipers of a 67S and spray bomb them in cherry red should be closed down. Hmm, alot of non-original parts in the rear...wonder why?

Not to mention (although, I will) the polished Targa roll hoop.

am I better off with an all original regular 911 targa or a restored 911S targa like that one?

[peterf]

I’d say original, original, original.*
As time progresses, there will be more and more restored cars and fewer original cars on the market. You can’t bring originality back, but a restoration with various repro parts is relatively easy.

*the only exception to this are the 0.001% of 911’s restored to perfection by private enthusiasts with 100% NOS parts. These cars don’t change hands very often and when they do, you won’t see them on the market…

IMO tasteful mods are much better than an assortment of wrong parts

One man's "tasteful mods..."

Well, from what I've observed, in the vintage 911 crowd's general wisdom, if the factory ever did it on any car before the date of the subject car -- or within a few years after -- the mod is "tasteful." Mods done 'in the spirit of the Factory' (like drilled door handles or louvered rear panels) are a gray area...
