I've been having irrational day dreams about owning / buying / restoring an older 911 the past couple of days. I blame the latest book I've been reading, From R to GT2
The Racing Porsches: 911 & 930 by John Starkey. So far I'm up to the 1975 3.0 RSR (the car pictured is not a 3.0 RSR however, probably a replica or an early 2.7 RS) and well, they're just such awesome cars. Perfect, in a word, and I know that is very common knowledge but they just are. Simple, with everything you need and nothing you don't: CIS injection, lightweight, no ABS, no power steering, pretty much bulletproof. This is an RSR:
As long as I'm living in NYC however, that's never going to happen. Even if I could manage to afford the car, I'd never be able to afford the extra parking space (which would have to be a garage naturally), not to mention the fact said garage would be underneath of or behind someone else's house. Plus any mid 70s 911 which I could scrape together the cash to buy would likely be a project, and once again, I'm not about to leave
So until the day comes when I have millions of dollars, or I leave NYC, that dream will just have to wait. At least I have a lot of research and learning to do in the meantime.
