The old guys propping up the pricing for the older 993 and earlier cars are dwindling in number.
The Porsche GT1 was watercooled, and most people don't know that even the 959 had watercooled heads. You can't tell me that either of those cars aren't collectible, they're probably the most expensive to buy, period.
The next round of collectible Porsches will probably be those with the Metzger derived engine... the same one used in the GT1. That's your 996/997 911 turbo and GT2.

The 993's weren't really that great even when new! To me the last great air cooled 911 variant was the 94 Turbo 3.6 (Bad Boys car) and they have gotten ridiculous on pricing (100K mile cars with rebuilt titles asking 75K on ebay).
