If money were no object...
Scott would paint a tub for me, adding flares, fixing rust, a little chassis strength, etc.
The tub would get a 3.6L 6, 930 transmission.
It would have AC, heat, sound proofing.
Joe would help me put in a sound system.
Full leather interior. Tan. Cocomats on the floor.

Big four. If cost isn't a thing, Jake builds it for me. Narrow body, although I would allow for some subtle custom flaring (not doing a GT here). 5 lug Fuchs, 911 suspension. Keeping it simple and light and maintainable.

Oh yeah, no center console. I like the wide open cockpit... if I want to see a center console I will drive the Vette.

My ideal would have Tangerine flares, Penske coil overs and all the other chassis goodies to be able to handle the Le Mans spec Cosworth DFV and Hewland gearbox.

Carbon hood, trunk, roof and as light as it could be made and still streetable. A scottyb paint job would make it pretty.

Since I have limitless funds and fabrication skills in this dream...

A narrow bodied stock looking flat 8 sleeper, like the Dr.s. no idea if it could be done, but maybe take the Polopolus 911-4 concept the other way and cut & weld two motors together to make the -8.

Or, somehow adapt a full Corvette C5 suspension to a super wide body IMSA looking car with an LS motor.

I'd start with a Numbers Matching Factory 6.. Extremely well documented. A 1 or 2 owner car max. 60,000 miles or less..
Have it done over to stock specs like a couple of cars I have seen here.
Narrow body, 14" Fuchs.. Just as new..

Remove the Original engine and shelf it.
Have a 2.5 S/S engine built.
Aluminum Case.. All the goodies.. Twin Plug S heads and Cams..
MFI or Newer Injection with Individual Slide Throttle bodies. Stainless Headers Minimal mufflers.. Lots of revs and lots of noise..

Use as necessary... When done.. Put the original engine back in and sell for top dollar.. Sell the 2.5 on PP after car is sold..

A third "factory" 914-8 - & since both others were "custom factory jobs" - I'd like mine with the following please:
> the period-correct aircooled flat 908 H-8, SS exhaust system, & sideshift 915 (IIRC) transaxle,
> hot dipped galv. & undercoated narrow body in Metallic Blue with urethane/styrene foam body panel injection delete, with Mahle Gasburner 5-lugs, single 7" diam. H4 80/100w headlights & Foglamps with full App. Group chrome bumpers/grills with Mark's better rubber top pads & sail vinyl/chrome trim, hood, grill & rear 914-8 badges, etc. - but I'd retain the removable targa top & brace the unibody in some other way,
> 73-74 interior with updated dash/vents & adjustable passenger seat & center cushion/hinged box in Tan leather & wool loop pile carpet, full 911/908 instrumentation at the instrument pod & center console, vintage USA dial German AM/FM radio with the mod-set-up for hidden aux input, with "modern" AC in a period look underdash supply!
> I'm sure that there's more, but this is not a real order yet.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

...or are you taking orders for us & covering the unlimited cost!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

To look like this one:

... but like this other factory 914-8 narrow body in the silver one:

AKA - a vintage type street screamer!

I would simultaneously and completely disassemble two 914's.

One I would restore/refresh to original spec using as many NOS parts I could find and wherever possible reuse the original parts, keeping it in it's original Phoenix Red.

By now it would look something like this:

The other 914 would be done to fulfill my wish list. Irish Green, flares, 3.2 Motronic engine, full Cognac leather interior, RSR finished Fuchs . . .

By now it would look something like this:

And while pondering the folly of man for undertaking such a foolhardy task, I would console myself in one of these:

And lastly, I would want a very understanding wife.
