That's a Porsche 356 C (1964-65). Mine is a little newer (1969).

This is mine--PCA Club Coupe 2 of 50 on its delivery day October 29, 2005. If I could only keep one car, it's this one!

Would like to purchase an early 911, 1972 or earlier if anybody knows of one for sale. Here is my 1980 930 ROW.

Have a modern one (991.1 C2S) as my daily. Love the classics but after vettes more. Though Ejboyd5 if you ever want to sell your 69... Interested!! The color and year (I was born) make it double attractive.

Now that brings back a lot of memories, the duck that is, driving out to the eastern end as a kid.

I have a ‘73 914 2.0 which I bought last year as a medium sized project to learn more about air cooled internals. A friend introduced me to Porsche and has a newer (997) 911 and we drove to Virginia and bought an 84 911. I’ve done some work on its still-simplistic motronic fuel injection and it’s communicative and pure to drive with lovely views out the car.

Same friend and I just drove a 91 zr-1 from Oregon to TN; his late father bought it new and he located it with 8,003 miles.

Porsche folks are like corvette folks which is to say...all over the map.

Porsche purists will say this one doesn't count, but I picked it up last year as a DD - I call it the Black Peppa - best $9500 I ever spent

Always been a Porsche fan...They're definitely a neat car. We just sold the slightly older identical twin to your parking lot buddy (ours was a '60 356B) and we still have a super original '88 G50 911. Fun cars for sure!

My 03 is going on BAT in a week or so if anyone is looking for a nice, well taken care of 911.

Close to, but not exactly the original location. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Duck I don't think it has ever been identified as a "he" or "she" duck.

Here’s my 1975 widebody. Almost finished installing the 1995 3.6 with PMOs. Just need to find a few hours, then it’s off to BaT. I already sold the Beck 904.

Sold my '84 930. Great car, but Vettes are more fun.
