Came across this rare 1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet for sale in Tucson Arizona (Back in 2000). Blue Book at the time was right at $25,500 for a ten year old Porsche. (New was just over $52,000 in 1990). Guy basically gave it to me for $12,000 just to get rid of it!!!

3.1 Liter 16 Valve 4-Cylinder. I miss this car!!!

It was one of only 200 imported.

Have owned several non-vettes thru the years, but my first car was a '59 vette, bought for $1100 in 1965 (wish I never traded it in on a new '68 Firebird 400).

Sorry the picture is so bad, but 47 year old stuff gets that way.
That was me taking the wife to her high school prom in '66.
