    Thumbs up Porsche Goes Retro

    It looks like Zuffenhausen is trying to capitalise on the early craze with their new 911 Sport Classic. Very interesting Fuchs-alike wheels.

    The rear "Sport" or "Classic" chrome emblems might be neat on an early 911 hot rod as a custom touch!

    No interest in that, but it does appear that Porsche are finally taking a greater interest in their classics:

    Don't get too upset - It's about $250k The ROW mkt can have it...

    It IS a very nice car. I really like the Ducktail (Burzel?) on the new generation bodyshell. Interior looks like a nice enough place, too.

    Cheers

    $250k seems like a bit much for a cosmetic makeover. I bet they make fortune on the sale of ducktails and wheels.
