    In 3 days we can compare the money he got with what a similar restored, and equivalent, SWB 911S has brought on the market. This is not to discuss which one you might like most. This is a $-to-$ comparison.

    We're comparing the $ value of a really great hot rod to a really great restoration.

    At some later point we can discuss whether a hot rod sucks money up as fast as a restoration. That's a very different question from value. I suspect Paul has got as much money into his 911 as one might spend on a quality restoration. We can deal with that as a separate issue after the auction is complete.

    SO,, what was the verdict on all of this Richard as it appeared to be a very viable way to establish if the "proof was in the pudding"

    Keep the outside looking original and leave the tricks under the skin. Recreations are so over. Racer look especially negative. Hope that shit just peels off.
