Air-Cooled and Water-Cooled Care
An air-cooled 911, anything pre-996, has different storage and maintenance needs than its modern descendants. Original rubber seals dry and crack in desert conditions, period-correct fuel hoses don't love modern ethanol blends, and the cars benefit from being driven, started, or at least attended to on a regular cadence to keep seals lubricated and fuel circulating.
Modern water-cooled Porsches lean heavily on electronics, sealed cooling systems, and battery-dependent control modules. Their storage needs are inverted in many ways: less concern about fuel degradation, more concern about parasitic draw and module health. We adjust our care to which Porsche we are caring for.
