Would it be treason to sell one of my 924s to buy something like this?

I just have a thing for 30's era cars!
Oh, and do you think it would work out as a good daily driver over the summer

Probably not, right?

Does it have a modern drivetrain, suspension, and brakes? If not, NO.

Hey, sway bars were standard! That's something Porsche couldn't claim on the 924.

It's a looker. How many cases of beer will it hold?

It's got a big back seat.....which is a real plus at the drive-in movies during the summer months.

I'm thinking if it's all original 0 tp 60 will be about 20 seconds and stops from 60 will take 200 feet or more.

It will need ignition maintenance every 5000 to 12000 miles.

The wipers work only when decelerating.

Straight 8 with 5.7:1 compression, 100 hp was the standard motor in the 37 special.

I see you've been reading the owner's manual, Paul!

Well, I don't think I'll get it. Too much work will probably need to be done. Also, I've found a very nice 928 for sale, which is WAY more practical.

Or maybe I'm old enough to have driven one? My Dad owned one of those in the 50s, it was a piece of junk.

I guess I didn't know where you knew that from and assumed you looked it up. I apologize.
Would there be any cars you would suggest that are from the 30's?
