You should be more specific in regardin gto “vintage” and what model. The most popular is the 911. Pre 76 there was no real rust proofing so finding a rust free car of this or earlier is difficult. Count on replacing some panels like the front suspension pan. High quality replacment panels are still available but are becoming scarce. In terms of best years, it depends on what you want. The early cat conv. (they called them reactors) are trouble unless the motor has been gone through professionally. The heat causes the head studs to pull out of the block. The pre cis (fuel injection) cars have tuning and drivability issues and the fuel systems are expensive to repair, and difficult to find parts. Knowing a budget helps in helping you select a car. The “S” models have more power and typically are worth more which means you will pay more for a nice example. By the early 80’s the engine troubles were worked out. The (915)manual trans is pretty bulletproof. avoud early 70’s late 60’s with the (901) trans. Definitely avoid the sportomatic units. If you give me more info, I can point you in the direction you want to go, or call the guys at pelican.
Depending on how vintage you want to go, check out these:=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fmotors.shop.ebay.com%2Fitems%2FCars-Trucks___W0QQMake247a0eZPorsche4bd8b000QQQ5ftrkparmsZ65Q253A7Q257C39Q253A1QQ_flsoZ0QQ_trksidZp4506Q2ec0Q2em245QQ_sopZ2QQ_scZ1
…about half way down there’s a 1963 Porsche 356 Super 90, a 1974 Porsche 914 and a fair few others.
Just remember though that you will need to invest a reasonable amount of love into them to keep them in top order. Otherwise, spend the extra and get one that has been done up so that all you have to do is drive it and look good…!
one of best resources is autoscout and there is option for different languages not just german but is for europa .anyway will find hundreds of porsche.
for info, check out

Look at the 1978 to 1985 911SC cars. Very solid and reliable and you can find them from $8000 to $15000.
