What type of budget is required for a street car that will only be driven 2k miles yearly on CT roads?

I really want to build something that is raw, tight, vocal and tactile. I am blessed enough to have amassed a small collection of vehicles with performance envelopes that far exceed domestic speed limits and my own driving abilities. The inability to make their engines sing without a jail sentence is starting to lose its shine. I want to buy the illusion of speed. Ultra high performance braking and cornering is the least of my concerns (a track car, this will never be). But, the thought of finally being able to red line a few gears (without going ballistic speeds) in a great looking RSR with a stout flat six makes me tingle.

Thanks,

David

I'll bite...

I'm currently building a similar car. Its a 75 that I'm backdating to 73 rsr appearance including center fill gas cap. The car spent months on the rotisserie, during which time everything was gone through, and the underside/wheel wells were painted. All nuts/bolts/ etc have been either replaced or replated. The car has all 930 suspension/brakes that have been refreshed. The motor is a fully built 3.4 turbo with k27. Headlights are HIDs, all trim is chrome, interior will be black basketweave with Vintage Seats "RS seats". Dash will be backdated with Classic Radio. The car will be done in ~ 3 months. Its leaving for the paintshop in the next couple weeks. Final Color is a Battleship Grey. PM me if interested.

Pics of my last build:

I can as well, I have built many of these cars and can have it done by the end of the month just send me your bank account info asap. I have another client who wants one too but he is on the fence. He is supposed to tell me today if he wants go forward, if he does then it will be 8 months before I can start your project. So let me know soon!

Would love to work with you. I just to let you know I was the top mechanic and design chief at Motor Meister, so my skill at Porsche builds speaks for its self.
