Ahoy,
I'm about to restore my "barn" find champagne yellow '73 911t, with the intent of selling it when it's done. I've had it for about 10 years and always planned on doing a mild safari/rally style build with it for myself, I'm a rally guy at heart and I've always loved these cars in rally attire. Unfortunately, things have changed and I've decided to restore her and sell her right away, and I'm debating if I still should do a rally inspired build. I know safari builds are pretty "hot" right now, and I'd really love to see my vision come to life, even if it ends up parked in someone else's garage. On the other hand, I don't want to hurt the value...just not sure if a proper safari build is value added or lost at this point.
I wouldn't go extreme or do anything irreversible, mostly just thinking of adding a Leitz style roof rack, horn grill lights (and maybe Cibie pallas hood lights), Amco front and rear bumper bars, vintage dash rally clocks, Bilstein 1000 lakes rally inserts, rear mud flaps, and 205/65r15 gravel tires (already on it actually). I'm not looking to go crazy with giant tires and lift, rather just add some cool Porsche optional parts and period correct add ons, still keep it "classic longhood" but with a little rally flair.
So what say ye...keep it tarmac oriented or join the safari bandwagon?
