That's part of what drives my thinking. There are some nice-looking sub $6K examples going on eBay lately. Granted, that's eBay, and you won't know exactly what you're getting until you see/drive the car, but... well... let's say $7K for a nice car.

Between the parts I have and the parts I would be able to get off my NA, I might be able to come close to breaking even in buying a 951. I might even be able to pick up a REALLY nice example.

Of course, there is another can of worms to consider:

For similar money, one can start looking at 1980s 911s...
