I had a 77 Carrera 3.0 year ago which I absolutely loved (grey market car). Mechanically, they are super durable - they are German after all. 76-77 or so were the first years of galvanized bodies.
The 911SC was notoriously reliable with the 3 liter engine, the 964 (I think) stepped up to the 3.2 and (?) G50 gearbox. My favorite is the 993 with all of the variations.
Go for it, get the best you can afford. Find a good indy (I've a couple here in central Mass). There is tons of enthusiasts out there and great support.
$20K has always been able to buy you a decent 911. If you go up to a $30K cap, I would think you should be able to drive for years without major problem.
Off to go scour Rennlist and Pelican for cars now... thanks a lot ;)
Good Luck,
Nate
