My mom loved these cars when I was growing up. I gave her a model of one when I was in college... or thereabouts.
We couldn't afford one back then. That situation has not changed. LOL

Freaking awesome color on this example.... drool drool...

That Amethyst one was better, but shout out to Cobalt.

I continue to just not understand air cooled 911 pricing. I mean they are interesting cars, and really well built, I get that. But they're just not that great to drive.

Seems like something for JST and Clyde to arm wrestle over... or am I mis-reading your nostalgia?

That's a weird listing. They say that the engine was sourced from a Pontiac Trans Am, which would have had a 5.7L LS1, but they state that this engine displaces 327c.i. which is 5.3L. So is it actually a 5.3L truck motor?

And they deleted the ABS? Ugh.

Seller says the 327 reference is a mistake and the documentation seems to back up it being a 5.7 LS1, but yeah, it's weird that 327 was used in the ad.

No ABS seems dumb. Impressed that the A/C works.

The video is hilarious, and jesus that's such a pretty car.

It's visibly fast. The shifts don't seem smooth; and I'm not sure if that's the driver or the Franken nature of these builds.
