    Sorry for joining in in this topic, but what I've learned in a couple of years on this forum and being involved with classic Cars now for 30+ years (and not owning a pre 73 Porsche) is that I don't know shit about them.
    So I am just doubting how would you be able to tell a perfect restoration from one that may be very good craftsmanship but wrong in a lot of aspects.
    So you can have a car that has "perfect" paint "perfect" Brightwork "perfect" interior and so on but the car as a whole is far from perfect because details are wrong and they're not "as bad as new".
    Here are a lot of
    anal retentive
    guys who will pick apart any perfect craftsmanship that has been done to a car restored by somebody that hasn't had the experinece of restoring these cars for 20 or more years. When talking of perfect we're talking gloss rates of semi matte black and so on...
    I simply mean If you can't even tell a model/year from a VIN you have not even the hint of an idea of the pitfalls. So before doing any purchase get (pay) somebody who knows what he's doing to do a proper PPI.
    Just my 2 Cents
