If so, Porsche wants to hear from you and you could win some great prizes along the way. As part of Porsche’s 60th Anniversary Celebration, Porsche launched a search for the oldest Porsche in the USA along with the oldest Porsche in each of 12 model ranges including the Porsche 356, 911, 912, 914, 924, 928, 944, 968, Boxster, Cayenne, Carrera GT and Cayman (if you’re viewing this post via email you may need to click on the title of the article to see the video below).
The My Classic Porsche Search is open to all owners who think they have a shot at earning the “oldest” designation for their car. Entries can be submitted by owners who have Porsches “with papers”. To submit an entry, visit www.Porsche60Years.com and review the participation guidelines for My Classic Porsche Search. A note about using the site. When you click on “Enter My Porsche” it brings you to a screen asking you to “sign in to share your classic now”. While this isn’t as clear as it could be, Porsche wants you to enter your email address and hit “Submit”. This will then bring you to the next screen where you can enter your Porsche’s details, including the VIN, and details on how you can be contacted if you’re selected a a winner.

I have one of the oldest 944s to come stateside.... From 1986. :-P
I really hope they turn over many stones to find the oldest models -- regardless of how well sorted they are. I'd rather see a half rusted 356 get recognition it deserves over a concours edition one that was made a month later. These past 60 years have been a great story for Porsche; let the oldest of each branch tell their side of it.
The footage from the link came from the Porsche Parade! Very cool seeing Mike's red daily 911 with the dirt and tape from his 4,000 mile drive!
