The Porsche 911 is one of the best sports cars ever built, and chances are either you or someone you know has owned one at some point. However, a new one bases at $84,000 and you don't have that kind of cash. "Fine," you say to yourself, "I'll buy a used one." But just not any used one. You want a classic 911. As wonderful as that may sound, a properly restored one still ain't cheap, but it's possible to find a late 60s, early 70s 911 for around $50k.

How can you know for sure whether that dream car isn't composed of old parts melded together? What about poor paint jobs? This new video from Haggerty Classic Cars is especially useful for anyone in the market for an old school 911.
