> classic Mac OS

I’d be really surprised if Apple still had the source code and custom tools necessary to actually build the thing.

they released the Lisa OS code (from 1983) recently, I think they still have all the Mac OS code

building it may be horrible, but the code would still be very interesting to hobbyists

There is a fair bit of third party code in the classic Mac OS, particularly in the extensions and cdevs. The nanokernel and some basic portions of the OS are likely releasable but they'd have to audit all of that.
