You can either buy a very nice condition Ferrari Mondial or a tired '73 911.

Some people are gluttons for punishment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

An oxymoron (plural oxymora or oxymorons) is a figure of speech that juxtaposes elements that appear to be contradictory. Oxymora appear in a variety of contexts, including inadvertent errors (such as "ground pilot") and literary oxymorons crafted to reveal a paradox.

Not my house and not my trailer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

But, I really am a world class trailer handler. I was backing in boats on landings at the age of 14. When I did it on a daily basis I could back a boat up hundreds of yards laser straight at damn near full speed...seriously.

A Mondial is an everyday driver 308 / 328. I would think a 308 / 328 would be a very fun car to sit and look at. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Per the "broker" of this deal the car is super solid. It will be restored.

I already have a '73 T engine (carb'ed) for my '74 Zambezi!

No...adjusting all 32 would be a chore. Fortunately, once set they seldom require any changes!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

It's my driveway, 10' from brick wall to chainlink fence. And the rise is about 15' in a 60' length. A VERY experienced driver backed it up there, I actually don't know how he got it up that far with such little damage.

Ask the 914 guys (ScottyB and type47) have been to my house how crazy it is.
