The potentially uncomfortable part is when you realize a BOXSTER looks large next to one, imagine how easily a Ford Expedition/Excursion could crush you.. yikes!


That said, I agree with the above comments that the originals are simply much to valuable to truly be enjoyed anymore, other than by looking at them. 4-cam motors cost about $100,000 to replace/rebuild.

Dropping 30K on a car that looks quite close to a $1-2million genuine article is a powerful argument and well, the fun factor has to be high!

I think the "base" price is $23, but that doesn't include a motor.. which are speced at $6K-??? (mmm jake raby 2316 with 180hp? about 10K) then, with such a big motor, one might consider 4wheel discs etc.. so I think an OTD price of a completed one is closer to $32K
