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.

…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…!
Hope this helps…
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.
Look at the 1978 to 1985 911SC cars. Very solid and reliable and you can find them from $8000 to $15000.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
