I'm with you on everything you just said. I purchased a physically rough, but well-running 1972 Porsche 911 with a 380hp SBC, 930 trans, 996 turbo brakes, and 11" front / 13" rear tires finished in primer white about two years ago. I think I paid $32k or $33k plus about $1,500 shipping.
Its painted now, with functioning gauges, and an actual carpeted interior which is a vast improvement from when I picked it up and could see the road through the holes in the floor.
The car is incredibly simple, but hard to work on because you're learning as you go with zero references. I think it'll probably be truly finished... Never. But it runs and drives well and never fails to turn heads.
