race911

The only carburetted US 911s were, after '68, the '69-'71T. ('72-'73 ROW T had Zenith carbs.) '72-early '73 T had MFI, then the switchover to CIS v. 1.0. Aka the 6-cylinder 912.

Only if they're worn out on the throttle bodies, etc. Which was a problem already started by the time I got into these things. (Why was PMO ever created?)

Oh. Whoops. I stand corrected.

The latter part of your comment always is important to me. At least after seeing some cars built quite poorly.

Understand we are taking apples and qumquats here.

For "collector cars", pre '74 911s are probably the most reliable, best engineered, and reliable cars from that period. And a hoot to drive.

By modern standards, a Hyundai Sonata is probably a "better" car.

My 1920 vintage house is a pig. Solid stone. It's cold in the winter, hot in the summer, the slate roof needs constant maintenance, the plumbing leaks, the wood floors creak, the plaster walls get expansion cracks, and the doors need constant adjustment.

A modern house with laminate floors, pressed doors, PVC plumbing, and sheetrock walls is more reliable, and has all the charm of a Comfort Inn.

My 1973 RSR clone is by far the most exciting, visceral, satisfyingly analog car I've ever owned or driven (makes the 1988 911 seem like a mellow GT car)... But it ain't a daily driver ;-)

I'll take my antique over a modern cup car....fun factor is too high

Now as a daily...I'd be in trouble
