I've been off the circuit for a while,but this one seems a bit too good to be true ?
Yes it needs paint,but is it the real deal ?

Ebay seller's username is Reamsalvage so that's an alarm bell.

Front lights are wrong

Something odd about the length of the front wings too.

Run...

Look at the bonnet line and US head light bezels and will have those nasty monstrous US overriders on the rear.

Get a proper one.

1/ The front lid is open in the shots.
2/ US market cars had smaller headlights for some weird reason, these are easily changed ( as I did on my 80
Model SC which was sold new to California ) My SC had Far larger rear bumpers than this car!
3/ Air Con points to it being possibly having lived somewhere hot in the States, which hopefully means that it shouldn't have " too much " rot ( although my California from new SC needed repair to the left inner front wing ledge, near the screen )
Although I'm not sure if air con was a std fit to an 84 model Turbo ?
4/ The Guards red has as usual faded, I personally hate the colour, but for this kind of money, one can't be choosy!
5/ If the options code build sticker is still intact under the front lid, then that is a Huge bonus.
6 / Unless you know these cars well, then a pre purchase inspection is Essential !
7/ US cars are often bodge / poorly maintained, I bet all 4 shocks have had it for starters, so yes, there could well be big bills looming.

I may take a Punt on this , says 7000 miles but seller says more like 107k.

He seems to be pretty frank / open and Ho eat when it comes to questioning .

If it was nearer, I would come along to view it with you. Pretty familiar with this era of 911. I carried out a Lot of work on all 3 of my 911s, particularly my first one, which was a US market car.
Did a fair few miles in an ex pals 81 Turbo as well, inc being a passenger in a scary accident in it !
