    What's so special about Aircooled 911's? Will the prices EVER come down? Is there a right time to buy a classic 911? I've been following the market for over 30 years, some things never change.
    Thanks To Everyone who has supported this channel! Much more to come!

    Another great video.
    I grew up in the 80s, and I always loved seeing the 911. However, nothing made my heart skip a beat like seeing a 928.
    It was so exotic and futuristic looking. Maybe I’ll go for a drive 😎

      Great cars indeed. I just had mine written off. Not sure I made the right decision in not keeping mine. I spent a fortune on the car. Oh the drive, what a car!!! Hit 4.5k rpm and you are done believe me on that. I will own another one day for sure.

    They are simple cars. Luke mecano sets easy to maintain but incredibly well built. Everyone will marvel about the quality of the build, the solidity of the car, the reliability of the cars and the sound Lord the sound especially if tuned, nothing comes close to them. The only issue I have is the AC’s outside of that they are sublime. I speak having experienced them in real hot weather or and very long drives over 10 years. Superb cars over all. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️

      Yess!! Incredible cars!! I know what you mean about the AC, it’s brutal here in the Miami heat! The AC was much improved starting with the 964, before that it was roll your windows down and go triple digits to cool down 🙌🙌

    I got a 73 in 1990. It's on the third engine now and was upgraded each time. My Honda is special too, but I'm having doubts that it'll survive another 20 years. My Honda sits in the garage and I can't wait to drive the 911 each week... nothing compares except another air cooled Porsche 😊

    • @HoleLeeAutomotive-rb2qs

      @HernanSpeed in a vacuum it would not be an issue. After only 20 years, parts support has dropped off hard and upkeep just to be inspection compliant is getting more difficult and expensive every year. The amount I spend on this will easily exceed an engine rebuild cost in 15 or so years and it keeps accumulating. This is why I won't sell the 73. It is my belief this is the long term predicament of even modern Porsche.

    • @HernanSpeed
      @HernanSpeed  12 часов назад

      Prices for parts definitely vary depending on location. Here in Miami, new Porsche parts are reasonably priced. My little brother recently took a trip to California, he found incredible deals on ‘used’ Porsche parts….but most weren’t advertised, you had to go in person. So yes, find parts has been a challenge for some time now.

      @@HernanSpeed I'm referring to the Honda by the way. They do not have parts support like Porsche. On a 20 year old Honda you're looking for part outs or salvage yard. Aftermarket has some things covered, but not everything and critical parts are long gone at the 10 year mark.

    In U.K. in 70s and early 80s 911 got really cheap and were often neglected it was not until 996 made people value them, as it happens I actually own a 993 996 Turbo and 997 GTS and Turbo along with a 991T and have not suffered any depreciation only running and service costs, I just drive them weekly as a standing car is just wrong.

      Great selection of Porsches!! 👊👊 Yes… 2.7’s didn’t hold the value like other 911s, but still outperformed it’s competition. No deals on them anymore.

  • @exc911ence_channel

    Air-cooled 911s were cheap in the '90's and early '00's... I was buying good ones for $10-15K 🇨🇦, enjoying them, then selling them on for not much more money... it wasn't until 10-15 years ago that rich dudes began seeing them as cool, then it was all but lost for the average enthusiast. The '79 SC in my garage isn't going anywhere ever as I'd never be able to afford to replace it.

    • @HernanSpeed
      @HernanSpeed  16 часов назад

      Yes, all cars go through the depreciation curve. 911s, especially the 2.7…had a few tough years. But they still held their prices better than all other Porsche’s, Mercedes, BMW’s, and Ferrari’s. The prices lately are elevated, but the lower maintenance makes up for it (kinda).
      Never Sell!! 👊👊
