The Queen got a neo-classic Convertible

Saw this from the road at a red light today so I took note of the dealership and found it online for you.

Happy to take it for a test drive for you if you want or help deliver it since I’m local.

Please note it’s likely My google maps will find the longest way to your house if I am ever behind the wheel if this thing so don’t be surprised if the mileage is a little off.

 
I saw that, I didn't know 911s were on the table.
I don't know what these go for in good shape. If you can get this reasonable, seems like it would be a blast to just drive the hell out of it. I wouldn't try to make a show car out if it. 😂

P.S. The Boxter is probably a better car, but the 911 has the cool factor hands down.
 
My spouse would like to replace the Geo Metro Convertible with a roadster from
the late 1950s, through 60s - maybe a little later. no need for matching numbers,
and restomod would be great. can need paint and a little work, but not something from the farm field.

i was thinking jag xk! but too $$$ and she says it is too 'burly'

currently she likes the look of

Nash-Healy (1951 version) - i'd imagine these are impossible to find, and way too much $$$
Fiat 124
356b (Replica seems reasonable?)
Karmann Ghia (for example only)
Corvair (no, just no)
MGB
TR4/TR5 (maybe)
56-62 Corvette - now we are talking - drop in a 327 with a modern transmission....i can dream.
Amphicar 770 - :dead:

what else is in this class of car ?
Where would you source it?

what she doesn't want:
Muscle
Pony
Anything that the governor and his family would use in a parade
Street Rod (when can i start the hemi t-bucket project?)
wheel base of the TR7 and Bronco 2 are similar (bronco 9" longer) - how about an off-road TR7 with 12" of lift?

Thoughts? Pictures?

This definitely needs an update.

Where are we now? Red, convertible Mercedes, Porsche or Ferrari?

She liked the 911 cabriolet, that one is in too rough a shape tho.

I need to get her to stand next to an F car. To feel it electrifying the air around it.
The glow of Rosso Corsa dulling all other colors in view.
The purr at idle, and the scream when it is time to show up in someone's front mounted camera.
People stopping to look, waiting for the car to disappear from view, snapping pics, posting on the internet
that they saw the unicorn.

uh, yeah, probably keep driving the metro.
 
That 911 is in Carversville, PA. You should go check it out. My guess is the 1st gear issue is linkage or stop adjustment, but what do I know about Porsche's? So, it's rough, I thought you didn't mind doing a little work. You could drive it home today for not a lot of cash.
 
Meh, for $220K doesn't look enough like a real Ferrari to me. Take the badges off and it could be a Jag.

you don't immediately notice the $150k in upgrades from the $220k base price?
this is where the California and $100k is a steal. or bentley gt roadster, which is a bit too much yacht for me.
