I think singers will hold up over time like RUF

a lot of the other hot rods and back dates will age more like gembellas and fordated cars from decades past IMHO

I suspect the full "Miami Vice" slant nose, and huge fenders and tail mods to a mid year 911 or a SC will become just a parts car, or extensive refurbish project.

I have been there, had the very detailed tour. A wee bit responisible for one of their main component developments.... I liked the place, liked the people. All were full of passion. Got the behind the scenes look around. That said, was far from a dialed operation. Creating lovely cars for sure, and I really liked all the hidden details. Very cottage industry style production model. I think that does not help the build times...

None of that is meant as a critism what so ever. It may very well be how they intended it to run....

Cheers

Find me in Amelia this weekend and I can tell you the story of when I was contacted by Rob and his "esquire" friends several years back via a rather pointed email. Still a HUGE fan of their work and we got it all sorted. ;) Their 930's look amazing to me.

Jeff, your comments made me think of this interview for the new CEO at EAG.
