On the surface I look at this and think "$149,990! Who would pay that?" Then I do the math and assuming I could find a rust-free 1970-ish 911 for less than $40k then hand it over to a quality shop to craft a similar vehicle, 18 to 24 months later I would probably have close to the asking price into a conversion. Am I wrong?

Just wish it was white or gulf blue.

color works for me....

looks proper overall......from this pic

Yes, you are wrong. You would have way more than the asking price of this car.

+1 and then some.

I've seen or heard 1st hand about the bills on cars like this. They were always multiples of the asking price.

I have built a couple of hot rods for 60% of selling price. To to that, you need 1.) luck, 2.) patience to find exceptional parts deals, 3.) luck, 4.) excellent, reliable suppliers, 5.) luck, 6.) no time pressure, 7.) luck, 8.) rising market.

All of this, plus some luck, and you can do it.

I agree with Jim, ask me how I know:eek:

what you really need is your own labor

When I picked my car up at Rothsport (3 years ago) Jeff Gamroth stated it would take $150,000 for him to build my car. It is amazing how quickly the hot rod tab adds up when you factor in rare period parts and the time it takes a true artisan to build them. These things are a labor of love.
