No they wouldn't. It takes too much money to build one, and the finished
product is worth too little on the open market. Ever seen an
SP-optimized early 911? The things you have to do to make one
competitive have the added effect of severely reducing their value as
vintage Porsches.

Actually just the oposite is true. There are quite a few early 911's
already modded to SP specs that run in PCA club racing and AutoX that
won't come out to SCCA SoloII events because of classing. I can think of
6 just in a town the size of Omaha. Also hot-rod early 911's are fairly
liquid as there's a fairly active re-sale market.
