Bob Snodgrass had the Brumos Race shop do one, high level like that.
Crazy, almost bought it when his Son offered it to me at a VERY reasonable price.
I was going to buy it because, that would have been the least $$$ Porsche to enter and do very well at the PCA Parade Concours, but then one of his friends wanted it, so I didn't get it.

That was cool to see... But, if I was going to pay $120k for a restoration (that shows $30k in parts and 908 hours at, probably $100/hr), I'd rather start with something like an old 911 RSR, or a 356 Speedster, or something, you know, worth more than $5k when I'm done.

All that effort in laying out parts and they got the fuel tank crooked.

Yes, of course everyone here was thinking that. Still incredible though.
