Funny that this car came up. I was just looking at it on the wholesale auction website. Didn't see any documentation for the RUF conversion.

TT Surgeon

I know, you're right.
Did some checking, car needs everything, can't verify Ruf conversion.

Too funny (well not really that funny) as prior owner (that gave to this dealer to sell) PM'd me directly stating it was in great condition, ran great and needs nothing etc!!! You find out it needs all? If your data is true feel like blowing the prior owner up..... but that is the problem with cars, hard to find out whom is being honest......

All second hand info, only your own ppi will tell for sure. It's been at least 60k mi since the rac work was done by my math, that by itself is a lifetime in these engines, so you know it needs at least a reseal, ( and you know it's never just a reseal....).
I'd be interested to know if the work was done while rac was Ruf or was it post Ruf, makes a huge difference. Still a great car, I'd be interested at the right price.

Perfect Power in Libertyville, IL was also a dealer back in the late 80s and 90s. They are now in Buffalo Grove, IL.

Emailed seller, let's see what happens.....

Still checking, based on the receipts he sent me looks like they did a rebuild with a bunch of Ruf parts, but a true Ruf 964 BTR conversion probably wasn't done.....work in progress, will advise. Still a decent car, wish they kept the s deck lid......

So the turbo S wing is gone/sold?
Was it a OEM Porsche S wing or a fiber/repro?

Hard to imagine it was the real deal and removed then sold.

That would be correct..

Exclusive was THE Ruf distributor for many years, although there was also an outfit in the Chicago area at one point that was a distributor.

I think the current/most recent distributor is in the Detroit area, and as you said opened around 2010/11. Not sure if they are still the active distributor but believe Ruf will be opening "RUF USA" in CA sometime in the near future.

Hope it works out for TT Surgeon looking into it.....

keep us posted if you go to PPI and or other....

TT Surgeon

At the end of the day it's a 120k mi modded 964t with a lot of Ruf parts, but a true Ruf conversion it isn't. Pity, bc at the time rac was a Ruf dealer and for a few more dollars one could've done a true conversion.
It will make somebody a nice project, given the time since the rac build, plan on possibly needing a rebuild soon. I'm out on this one.

This was for sale a while back. I think I met the owner once a while back at a DE at the glen but not sure. A bit rough I would say for the price.
