This isn't the case if you head over to the guys at Singer Vehicle Design in California. They will custom build you a classic 911, to modern standards. The price? $500,000.
Chris Harris pays them a visit in his latest 'Drive' episode, well worth a watch:
The second video, is about a guy called Magnus Walker. Also in California, he also builds modern versions of the classic 911. His work is more of a hobby than a business, but it's fair to say, that his lifestyle shows how much of a pioneer he really is.
Both very inspiring videos, both of which make me even more determined to make my E21, that little bit more special.
Enjoy
