    I have a 79 SC Widebody running the 3.2 L engine and my "blown" Mondy as well as a few others but yes I do drive a 911 more than my Mondy to be honest

    It seems w/ the replies I got from fellow Mondial owners it seems the majority also drive an aircooled Porsche. For me the reason is that I like sports cars and the 930 is my favorite Porsche. How about you fellow 911 drivers what's your reason for having a Ferrari & Porsche at the same time ?

    I came close a few times almost bought a 79 930 but it didn't come with any history so I passed on it. Also almost bought a 73.5 911 they wanted 8k for it and I offered 7k but got outbid and yeah I know believe me! I think currently the only affordable air cooled 911's are 964's and mid seventies 911's

    My dad had a '69 "Forest Green" Karmann Ghia. Too bad he let it rust away. By the time I got it , there wasn't enough left worth restoring.

    I had two Turbo Esprits, an '84 and a '95 S4. Both were very reliable and the S4 had 300HP. Much faster than my Mondi or a 308 Dino. And only 4 cylinders.

    928 S4
    928 GT

    The GT is an awesome bit of kit, but still as much fun as the Mondi T and GT4 :)

    Aircooled VWs are one of the best learning tools for people wanting to get into vintage car restoration. They are simple, easy to work on, fairly robust, and parts are plentiful.

    And, they are going up in value. Your Dad's 69 would be worth (in drivers condition) somewhere between 5 and 12K. Book values for my 67 CV - in condition 1 - are 27K High, 18K average.

    They are fun cars to work on. Lots of fun, and because they are so simple, very little risk of "hosing" something up.
