I think Helix8 is onto something and I think you really want more of a restomod than a hotrod.

What doesn't your current car do for 3 seasons that you would like? AC? Heated Seats?

Have you driven enough air cooled cars to get a feel for things?

Is vintage what you truly desire? I have a 2012 Cayman R that checks a lot of boxes but isn't vintage and isn't aircooled. Does it matter?

6 years ago, I bought a high-mileage but original paint 83 SC, it had been updated with a 3.6, I did some touches to the interior (recaros with seat heaters, central/remote locking) and added super cold AC....my wife would drive it, but certainly not to the grocery store....The cayman, sure she would.

My concept for the Cayman is 4 season, it gets very few miles in the winter, but it sure is a blast to drive in snow with the right tires.

The SC gets long drives, weekends away and an occasional work trip if headed away from traffic. (hard to do)
