Just sold the Boxster and was all ready to purchase a new Cayman S, and started thinking about the arbitrary pricing on the car. When does a coupe cost $10K more than it's convertable conterpart? So I took my 1971 911S out of storage for the past 15 years to drive in the meanwhile as I ponder Porsche's pricing philosophy. Will be going through a complete retsoration including replacing a few pieces of sheet metal, new weather strips, interior and down to the metal paint. Engine passed all the compression and leak down tests with flying colors. Just had to de-rust the tank and seal it before I even tried starting it. And luckily I did, huge amount of varnish and rust poured out. Nevertheless, I have all the rusted sections removed and replacing them with complete OEM panels. Should once again be the concour winner that it was before it was put away. Time marches on. Hell, I may just forego the Cayman S all together when I re-discover the wonders of the 911. :)
