Opinions on this 74 please.

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-cars-sale/502828-1974-porsche-911-restored-perfect-52k-receipts-new-paint-best-74-a.html

Thoughts on this car please, I like the color not sure if its original, I can see its been re painted. Missing CIS and I don't like the faded effect sidescript.
Anyone familier with this car ?
Thanks

What are "better than "S"" cams and pistons? Sure, if going to carbs these items should be changed.. but to what? Any DYNO sheets for the rebuild?

Spending $50K on a car isn't hard.. especially if the work is farmed out. I imagine $100/hr for labor is easy these days.

For the money, I would want a restored, original spec 2.7 with CIS.

How about the suspension? please don't let me learn its still got 35 year old bushings, for instance.

How does paint just "done this year" have a rust bubble?

You don't typically "turn" cross drilled rotors.

Why would I want to "easily paint over" some ghosting affect / "skulls" -wtf !) on the paint. A paintjob should be correct!

In essence, I see way to many words (or, if you will, a very long story) on a car that, shouldn't need that many to prove its nice.

I hate it when they don't post a price!

Thanks

... something better always comes along and it looks like my ideal car in the right color just showed up although the asking price makes me feel like i just got tasered.
cheers
