Any owners who will NEVER sell their Z??

DavidInIndy

So I come across this article where this actor says that he will never sell his first car...a 1963 Porsche 356.

Although I really enjoy my Z, I just assumed that there would be a day when I would sell it. This article now has me thinking though. I actually do consider my blue roadster a classic that could be worthy of an always keep/never sell car.

What say you, my Z brothers and sisters??

I'll keep mine for ten years or so, then make a decision. If I've got the space to mothball it, I will. I've only regretted selling one of my cars, and that's because the idiot I sold it for blew it up three weeks later.

And if I owned a 356 I'd never sell it either.

I sell/trade my cars in about 6 months after I'm done paying for them...seems to be the time **** starts to break and not worth keeping.

never is a pretty strong word

I can see the Z going from daily driver to weekend toy at some point. Then it's time for a big power build. Either that or it becomes the new track slut. I usually keep cars long enough and mod them enough to make them worthless anyway, so I might as well keep them.

Mine will be kept forever, paid off and is mine.

Everyone has a price.

I would agree with that, but for someone who intends to keep a car forever (any car), parting with the car is a high cost and usually inflates the price to a level no one wants to buy it at.

Honestly, if someone came up to me and offered some crazy amount I would consider it but could not part with my car.

So if I offered you 1 billion dollars for you Z, you would turn that down?

I know it's not realistic but still, one billion would be a lot to pass up over a 30k Japanese mass produced car!

Ok you are going into unrealistic territory on the offer.
The way I would weight the offer is like this:
~Does the offer cover the car plus everything I have done
~Does it add money because I don't want to sell but buyer is willing
~Finally, with the offer could I rebuild the Z as is plus have spare money for another car

Basically the last one sums it up, so in the real world if you came here and threw down 80-100k I would consider it because I could buy another Z and build it again for fun (maybe change a few things up) plus have some cash left over to do more or pick up another car. If you came in with an offer for 40-50k I would pass.

It would have to be enough to build the car the way I want it knowing what I know now using currently available parts, retail prices for anything I bought under market, any labor I paid and a premium for my time. Bring me $100k and I'll sign the title over today.

I like my '09 Touring - a lot - but it's just a car. I've owed several cars that I wouldn't mind owning again (1967 ('68?) Dodge Dart GTS, 196x Ford Mustangs, 1979 Chevy Camaro Berlinetta, &c) but no emotional attachment. I'll probably keep my Z until maintenance gets too high. That could be tomorrow or ten years from now.

I won't say I'll never sell it, but I damn sure will never part it out back to stock.

What is this "stock" you speak of.
