Morning Bridey, hope your well.
Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole personally. 26K is cheap for a turbo ....... but its still 26K for a bitza of a car IMO.

Eh? You do realise its has replacement 964 bodyparts, bumpers, lights etc? Originally it would have looked like a 3.2 with wider arches.

The 964 turbo was two years away when this one was built.

I thought all 89s were 5 speed -ad says 4 speed which is odd

Its not odd at all. Whats odd is you finding it strange that there maybe some non original parts on this thing!

Who knows how and why it was 'created'.

I could guess though!!!

[mudy]

ha ha i guess you are right
Also lists the bhp as 231 - which is understating it by at least 69 and torque as 21 which is ... oh who cares!

Love the reference to 2nd gear. I'll take it!!!

Some people just don't know how to put an ad together,

Actually I'm quite interested, not in buying the thing, but just trying to work out what it once was. It's at times like this that you realise just how much or how little you know about the 911.

A total novice would most probs not realise that this is a bitza of a car, where most of us on here do, I'd be gutted for anyone saving up to spend 26K on this tub.

But what was it before? 1989 turbo, yet the power figures are wrong, the body panels are wrong, and didn't all turbos come with a sunroof and aircon for all markets?

I can't see a sunroof.

Might be a nice car? Might not. Hard to tell from such a poorly written advert. Were I looking to buy a 911 I would just move on to the next ad.

It used to be fashionable to 'update' Porsches to look like newer models, for a while it has been popular to backdate but now it seems most people prefer original looking cars. So the mods could be innocent.

Terrible advert though, what are some people thinking...?

"grandson forces sale" Surely not?
