A safari Porsche built on a 964 chassis just sold on Bring A Trailer for about twice what the underlying 964 would be worth. Between that and Matt Farah’s purple rally Carrera, I think the world is on to this trend.

The longer answer is way more pleasingly Jalop.

Ziploc bags are your best friend for keeping your fasteners organized. I throw little post-it notes in them to tell me what group of fasteners they are. I’m getting way more OCD in the garage as I get older, but I find it averts many disasters.

They’re already selling it. $5k deposit, delivery in about 18 months at this point. The first couple hundred are already sold.

Or the 22R in the Celica on which that first Supra was based.
