Yup...look at the Firebird or the Camaro. How many completly
different body styles from the late 60's til now? Five? Six? And we
don't even want to talk about what happened to the Chevelle and the
Nova. The only similarities between the old & new of those models are
in the names.

When I say
"changed very little" I meant compared to certain other
models of car we see on the roads these days. Certainly there are
dozens to hundreds of changes every year or couple of years...I have
an '83 and a '95, and they're very different cars. But, to the
non-911-geek, to see them sitting next to each other in a parking
lot, they're damn near identical.
Without a doubt. That the stylistic lines are essentially the same
as they were in 1966 is nothing short of amazing. I suppose some
Mercedes come close to the same phenomina, but I can't think of
a single care from a US, Italian, French, British or Japanese
manufacturer that's been that timeless. Well, okay, the 2CV, but
I did say *car*... :-)
