An M491 would be a turbo look, not a turbo. However, to some collectors, the lower production numbers of the M491 is more appealing. Some M491 prices have equaled or surpassed turbo prices. To determine a price for this car, we would need much more info and some pics of the damage.

Again, make sure it's a real M491, not just another frankenporsch.

don't have any pics to post as of yet....just saw pics on a gents iphone. said to have some minimal roof damage. cant tell from the pic i saw.

it is either a fake, m491 car or a gray mkt turbo

i'd say it is in need of a complete resto just to be safe...

assume the worst. You are really just buying a VIN and title plus a collection of stuff. The engine may be locked up; the interior may be rodent infested and the suspension dried up. And it is the little stuff that will really cost you in the resto. Not sure but figure value of the car "finished" is $40k or whatever and start deducting the costs of engine, body work, interior, etc from that point. I wouldnt pay much more than $5k myself. YMMV

i was thinking $5-10k tops......

i'd buy it and sit on it. i've learned my resto lesson about a decade ago....
