Now they are unaffordable for any but the most wealthy...so my solution now is to swap a Nissan Gen 3 VQ35 HR V6 eng (good for 400 HP in a 320 lb twin cam 4 valve/cyl V6 that costs under $2000 with minimal mods) into a Porsche 968 Cabriolet with 6 spd MT that only cost me $16K with 70K mi on it. The damn thing looks just like a more modern 2 seat Ferrari Convertable since the body was actually designed by Pininfarina and it is a front eng with rear transaxle, and since the Nissan VQ35 HR revs & sounds just like an F1 Ferrari race eng it's a perfect match to mimic a Ferrari at an extremely low cost. Total investment with eng swap & mods is under $20K!", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1680733568, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 11142433, "authorName": "GoBoGo", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/gobogo/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@ajsharx I totally agree! MFR's need to troll BaT for many other options/items as well. Wagons? Convertibles? Broncos and Wagoneers? Manual Transmissions? Sports cars with Manual Transmissions? All high dollar bids/premium bids. It's a shame you can't find many of those items on a showroom floor any longer... If they offer something in Europe as an example, it seems like they would allow a special order here in the States but what do I know. I guess wait the 25 years and get exactly what you wanted, albeit years ago....", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1680734350, "type": "comment"}]
