One thing you mentioned that stood out to me: "but I do need some type of AC". This may limit your choices somewhat. Reliable, cold A/C in a vintage Porsche usually means an expensive custom aftermarket system, a 964 or later, or rolling down the windows on a cool morning  We are very spoiled with an excellent climate control system in the Boxster but the original A/C in most early 911s is pretty worthless. Keep this tidbit in mind as you shop for your fun car.

Thanks! It has proven to be a fun journey, and I am only just getting started!
Yes, I said that because I've noticed alot of them have listed as "ac is disconnected, but have the compressor" or the like. I know it is not cold from shopping around, but I tend to sweat like a maniac and some type of ac is necessary! Other than that I don't need power windows or defrosters, etc....Just a pure driving experience.
My local Porsche shop has an AC upgrade system for early 911's.
