I like them....

Here's a Ruf based 964 modern resto-mod. Not huge on the color, but what a nice 911 for driving all the time. I've owned both a 964 and a 9934s, really, really hard for me to pick my favorite. I think I liked looking at the 993 more, but enjoyed driving the 964 more.

Love it!

Although like you, I would probably select a Lapis Blue instead of this purple.

In terms of which I enjoy the most - I'll also agree with your assessment. In fact no other car has brought such a huge smile to my face when behind the wheel than a 964. Granted I've only ridden in a G50 911 and never driven one but the 964 is tops for intoxicating driving experience.

I enjoy a quality resto mod, and Ruf is top of the food chain in he Porsche world for sure. I do not mind the purple, but I don't care for the rear spoiler. Too aggressive and boy racer for my taste.

Agreed on the spoiler, would rather see a good ole ducktail.

Looks certainly interesting. The only thing I don't like about the model shown is the dashboard and metallic paint. I really like the vintage metal gauges without any LCDs on them in the 80's 911s, and I don't like metallic paint on sports cars either. Otherwise, looks like a good ride as long as I had USD 425'000... :silenced:
But, probably at that price point, you could get any dashboard you want though, so that's kind of a non-issue.

Personally like the RUF stuff over Singer.
