Not a 911 but Panorama had an article about building this for a Baja race. Sounds pretty fun to me.

Garden variety 964 C2s are now knocking on 6 figures, even when equipped with aftermarket headlights that make baby Jesus cry:

Love affair with pre 964 911s.

And honest to God, more rewarding to drive than 992 GT3s at all sane legal speeds.

I can buy that. It just seems very far away from what you've been talking about doing. But I totally get it.

Just want to say that I drove a 1985 everyday in Cambridge/Boston commute. No power steering. No AC.

And it was awesome.

Not awesome if I got hit by another car. But cars of those era feel alive still.
