Of 370s and 911s

Inspector71

Last year when I decided I should never have traded my 09 370 and must get another sports car (and was still fooling myself about what I really wanted), I took a look at used Porsche Caymans, Boxsters, and yes, 911s. Only a few Boxsters were in my price range but they were the 2000 to 2007 models, Caymans would have been a stretch, and only very old 911s were doable. I realized not only did I want a Z, but I could get a 2015 used Z, for way less with way more...so I did. Just for the heck of it, I looked at old Porsche 911s today. A friend had a nice 73 and I figured, being that old, they are going to be cheap for someone who wanted a project to work on. Boy was I wrong. A year or two ago, I could have bought 911s, 73 to say maybe 86 but now they have gone through the roof. What happened?
