Priced out of the Porsche market?

Buy a Puma.

Puma

When I lived in N.J.in the mid 70,s there was a yellow one running around.It belonged to a guy who had a VW repair shop.I sold him a modified 356 motor with an aftermarket roller bearing crank and a set of Ray Litz heads.I always thought it was the nicest kit car I had seen and very well built.Cool car.Should sell for around $10K.

^^^ Ten thousand? I think it'll go for closer to $20K.

Isn't it false advertising to name a car with a tiny, VW engine a "Puma", considering that pumas are powerful and fast?!?!

^^^ The theory of increased value through scarcity explains why they stopped at 500. Ya, that's gotta be it.

Well, puma is also a name from a cougar, and the joke kinda makes itself, huh? If I'm going to buy a VW-powered car, I'll buy a 912.

Puma's are cool. And I like a few odd balls in the collection, you can't have every car be serious.
