I think for that kind of money you could build a replica of the actual car.

Yeah, I'd rather have one I could drive, but then my wife would never let me keep it in the living room...

Now all this is crazy talk as I can't afford a new Boxster let alone a pure toy for $125k.

Fun to talk about.

BTW, who is this Joe who can build one?

Pretty sure Eric was referring to Joe O'Brien, Series9 on this board. I tried to track down the thread where he discussed the possibility that he might get a replica 917 in the shop to no avail. He may have discussed that on ClubNARP isntead of here, though, since I can't find the thread.
