26 years old, but, um 27 in a few weeks.
I have the '69 and pretty much fully subscribe to the whole R-Gruppe concept of hot-rodding early cars. Why? - because they have more chrome and less weight, and look it. If building a replica race car it would be an R or and S-T, not and RSR.
I like old cars though - I think that is the first pre-requisite. The competitive history of 60s and 70s 911s is nice but not in my living memory. Early Porsches have to attract through their 60's charm and (relative) high performance.
I also have the '75 which reminds me how the cars changed (very little, IMO, except for the bumpers and the torquey not revvy engine). Well, it would remind me if I put it back together.
