    All accessories codes&description, all improvements, all models 901/911-993, many color pictures, perfect literature.
    Definitely my favorite.

    Most of my car books come from the country that won the war , but I do have Porsche 911 Buyer's Guide by Randy Leffingwell and Porsche 911 Source Book by Austin/Walter. My 911 friend recommended these to me when I asked him for a good source to learn more about the cars. Glad to see others have also recommended them on this thread.

    Chris,
    Since you are on a tight budget, and do not want to do a lot of body / rust repair, you might consider buying a nice condition 75 to 77 coupe, and learn to do a backdate to the longhood era. Pretty cost effective way to get where you want to be.
