That car makes my heart ache remembering all the opportunities I've had over the years to have The 911. Beautifully turned out, nearly every detail I could see was perfect.

always loved the widebody look sans spoiler. It is so wrong and yet so right at the same time. Articles like this make me want to dust off my Fiat 124 shell and go at it

I love blacked out horn grilles on a longhood 911.  That filler cap is inconvenient for nice paint, though.

You know, I always said that if I ever had a 1000+hp car, I'd paint it bright pink. That was a joke, years ago when I was driving my Cavalier.

pretty sure it pokes through the hood. Open it to fill to avoid hurting the paint

yup.  But still have to be careful to not drag gas station fuel hose across fenders.

I love old 911s

They go for ridiculous money

What that cost to have TRE build that must have been the annual budget of a small country

I could buy a newish one for that much cash

why don't I have enough money for both?

why don't I have enough money for either :(
