Nicely restored 356's are fetching 60-80k. If you buy an "unrestored" one for 20k or less, you'll put another 20K+ in it turning it into a half-decent driver that you can trust. Show quality will cost you twice that. Unless you just happen to own your own Porsche Restoration shop.

The kit car above gives you something that's probably nicer to drive on a daily basis that a restored 356 (it has A/C!), and you don't have to worry about bending original sheetmetal made of unobtainium. If it has a nice paint job and is well-executed, it's worth every bit of 20k.

oh, so its not even a real porsche, just made to look like one.
