what's your thoughts on this special run of 50 911 club cars

Your going to have to like the color scheme.

They are all the same color in and out.

With special numbered plates to tell which of the 50 they are.

The factory rep at the parade told me that Porsche will be keeping #1 or 50.

He also said that if you are a current PCA member as of June 1st. their will be a free drawing for one of these models and a very lucky member who registers will be the winner.

This is no bull.........you will find this in your next Panorama with directions on how to enter. I guess I just lessened my chances.

Good luck,
Scooter, wishin an hopin since I could not buy one at $99,911. dollars.

I'm registered for that bad boy.....come to daddy!

[nickd]

A couple of photos I took. I've certainly registered but would'nt it have been oh so special if it had been a GT3RS Club Coupe - but I guess getting that model into the states so that it could be road registered would have been a wee bit of an issue.

Ah well, I'll cope if I win !

[pwd72s]

Hey, if I win? I'd finally have a car I'd be willing to sell to Frank... (edit) Which issue of PANO is supposed to contain the contest?

[nickd]

you can enter the contest now by going onto the porsche website, under 50th parade

I think they may keep their value marginally better than the other "Special Edition" models that Porsche has put out over the years, due to the small number being built, but I personally would not have one unless they gave it to me. For that kind of money, I would want a GT3 or better, with a true dry sump engine.

I still remember my ex-stepmother's dismay that the $100K special edition '89 Speedster (which she bought after the dealer told her that it would be "collectible" because only 400 would be imported) turned out to be worth $50K in 10 years, even though she only drove it 14K miles.

ah.. but tom, if she keeps the speedster for another 10 years it will be worth 100k again... such worthy investments these cars are!

[72targa]

That's why I like my car. Purchased in 1986 for $9,000 (bargained down from $10,000!). Now worth more! Better than I can say for ANY other car I've owned.

I'm not sure about that, Dave, unless the USD devalues another 50-100% during the next 10 years! On an "inflation-adjusted" basis, she's already down way more than 50% on her "investment." I'm not really convinced that the '89 Speedster is ever going to have the cachet of the old ones.
