Remember guys there is no free lunch in this world, want something nice, you have to open your wallet, want something very nice and it gets opened even more.

There are very few of these (I hate the word clone) hot rod early 911's around. Not many folks are as crazy as some of us are so that means a small market. If you buy a car that is in progress or done you will get it for less than the owner has in it, that is a given, unless you are really getting taken!

The problem is finding a car that the guy who built it had "Your "ideas in mind. Hot rods are a personal thing to me, but if you can find a car that that fits into what you want or can be fixed easy then you might find a deal.

If you buy a car you have to take in to consideration "WHO" did the work, a pro, a good home mechanic or a wanabe that has everything screwed up and lied to you about what super special suff was done to the motor and tanny.

I know of a car, a 1972 911T that will sell for $30,000 or maybe alittle more. He has twice that in the car! One of the favorites from the last two years of Tour de Cambria sold for 2/3 of what the owner had in the car and it sold for $70,000 plus.

I just saw a very low mile 1973.5 "T" that the new owner paid $11,000 for. Great deal of last year, this car needs nothing, add a 3.0 or 3.2 motor and trick out the suspension and add the usual hot rod stuff and dump another $15,000 to do the job correctly. Flares, bumpers, tail, different wheels, tires, bars, LSD, gears, MSD, all of this stuff is expensive.
