I'd go with the 959 or possibly a Schuppan 962 CR just because

The 917 or 962 for me. I've seen the 962 Lowenbrau with Al Holbert (RIP) and Derek Bell at Road America back in the 80's. That car just drips badassness!

930 Turbo or maybe a 993 GT2. Hmm... a 959 would be a dream.

Wow what a great post. So many beautiful classics. I feel like I just got a history lesson.

Since I'm a noob and haven't driven any classics, I would have to say the 2013 991S that I drove today. 400 hp with PDK and paddle shifters is crazy fun. When the 50th Anniversary Edition comes out, it will be my favorite I'm sure. My bucket list has on it the 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th and 50th AE's. That will be some garage!

I love your plan! For me, I want to own all seven generations...after this post I can see that I wasn't thinking big enough. :-) you all listed some real beauties and made me realize I got to keep working!

Not sure if this is strictly a Porsche, but since the Singers made the cut, I don't see why not. I would be prepared to go air cooled for a Ruf CTR2

Hmmm, difficult to choose.... and newer ('10 or '11) GT3 or a GT3RS, black, of course, black wheels, steel brakes, but probably not a GT3RS 4.0.(black or white)
