No power steering! You may think that's OK going by what a 911 is like to drive but this thing will turn you into a body builder.
Try reverse parking one before you decide to buy. 
Gearboxes are notoriously notchy and ancient in feel. Makes a 915 feel positively modern.
Although a properly rebuilt one is quite good. The problem is they're rarely properly rebuilt unless owned by a fanatic.
Really stay away... Run to the hills. I know how you feel every emotional thing in you wants this car but logically it makes no sense.
Now if I had a terminal disease then I probably would buy one.  |
Now that is more like it.
That helps, but they have if not fixed the gearbox at least made it different .

The steering... I have driven but not owned the original..... have not driven this car.
