The original 911 was pretty much a squished Beetle with two extra cylinders and upgraded brakes and suspension. I'm ok with that. In fact I'd love to have just about any 911 from '64 to '83. I've driven them from mid 70's to the 997, and while they are all a hoot to drive, I think if I was going to buy one, I'd probably go with the '78-'83 911 SC. Things started getting silly after that.
