Maybe a B coupe at that price or a really really rusty C coupe. Otherwise expect missing parts...

My C coupe would be perfect. All there rusty not running. But Id never sell it - too much sentimental attachment

If you go the kit route, I'd vote for a Super Seven . . .

I'd be all over that beauty if it had a supertec engine in it...

Wouldn't be spent on ANY car. A "ragwing" taildragger would be nice!

And tell us a bit about how it's going.
I have posted some pictures of Zeus over the years but here are a couple more.
Engine is now a 3.3SS w/ported Carrera heads, 964 cams, 10.1:1 compression pistons and an early large port CIS system. The CIS intake runners are ported to match the heads and the SSI exhausts have been slightly modified to also match the exhaust ports. Rods are a set of Ollies that have been shot peened, rebuilt and balanced. Also has Electromotive direct fire dual plug ignition. Runs quite well, just trying to get some miles on it so that I can do a final valve adjustment and oil change.

That would be a real possibility. Only I would probably put a 911 engine w/carbs in it. I used to own a restored 1966 Corvair Corsa convertible before falling into the Porsche pit. The conversion/install would be pretty easy, I believe!

Hot damn! :)

40 Ford truck.......
 
This would be fun...... a 1940 Ford pickup street rod, channeled down over the frame, independent front suspension, small block Ford V8, cycle fenders on the front with some nice wide whitewall tires on a set of steelies. Maybe even chop the top a bit. Might even make it a roadster!

I'm shopping for a Moke. Hopefully I can find a decent one for under $10k.

ckelly78z 05-13-2014 09:02 AM
Pretty sure I would get another Datsun 240Z, and pull the motor in favor of a 95 or older Mustang GT 302 motor with a T-56 trans.

I had one in pretty decent condition - a '77 - the last year of the early Bronco. You could have bought it from me about 4 years ago for $4,500 (which someone did).
