What classic 911 to buy?
What classic 911 to buy?
Hi:
I'm normally over in the 997 forum. My dad and I both own 2006 911s. We are looking at buying a classic 911 to share and possibly restore a little bit. We are looking at spending $30k. Any suggestions on what years/mileage would be good?
Thanks!

What do you want to start with? An original matching numbers car? Or do you care if the car has another year engine? Either way $30k is a good budget to have. One might find a car that doesn't need any restoration for around that price.
If your looking to do a complete frame off OEM restoration and replace things like panels, floor pan, complete interior and a complete engine rebuild you could run over your $30k mark and it could take some time to locate the parts. But if you start with a late 70's to mid 80's car that runs and drives you would have a great starting point.
If originality isn't a concern you might be interested in a '73 RS conversion or maybe a '74 IROC using aftermarket body parts and aftermarket interior parts. Those options would mostly apply to a couple.
