Like the look of the full race 935, this car appears to be a conversion from a ' 86 930..

It has a lot of the modern goodies on it. But it isn't a 935 except in superficial looks (body panels). That said it still would be a very quick and fun car to drive. This car would also be easier and cheaper to maintain than a 935.

You can still build or buy a true 935, but it would be very expensive and difficult to maintain.

It's been for sale for quite awhile. Obviously it's not a real factory 935 but it looks like they didn't spare any expense. If you were planning to do just what they've done then you could probably save some money by buying their project. I bet they're asking a pretty penny for it. $100K?

Its listed in the back of this week Autoweek for $ 89,500/obo, over $250,000 invested. Winner of the ' 99 Rolex Thundersport, full carbon fiber body, historic race approved.

I have to add that it looks bloody good, even if you were to park it next to the super cars of today

Awesome car....imagine converting it to a street car!! I have seen it for sale for quite some time now.

It really depends on your objectives. If you are looking for a street car, this may not be a good choice as it would be brutal for much more than short trips: heavy clutch, poor idle, stiff ride, no insulation, etc.

As a track car, for the same money there are faster cars that are probably a lot easier to drive. Same money buys a nicely prepared GT3, 964 Cup Car (with trailer), etc. Even for vintage racing, I think there are better choices that are as fast, easier to drive, and lower cost to keep racing. I suspect that is why it has been for sale for so long - at $90K, there are lots of alternatives.

To buy this car, you need to be completely sold on the whole 935 mojo.

That's what I love about my 930. Nobody can accuse me of tracking a car that's easy to drive!!! I've passed about everything there is out there to pass except for GT3 Cup cars in my car, with old antiquated suspension, bad aero, and no ABS.

That's the thing that puts a BIG grin on your face when you are driving home from the track!!!

Yasin,

Where did you get that pic from? That looks like a Protomotive intercooler.

Unless you plan to race the car, it's overkill for DE. If you plan to race, you'd better be damn good 'cause GT1 ain't f-ing around. Aactually, you'd want to be damn good to even drive it in DE, as with that much power you can get into trouble really fast. It's worthless as a street car IMHO.

Absolutely no point in buying it for a street car. Even as a race car it's a dubious proposition. Just this weekend I watched a well driven cup car run neck-to-neck (and eventually beat) an equally well driven 935 replica with a 3.8TT. GT1R is bloody competitve, bloody expensive and this package just isn't start--of-the-art. Finally, "built" race cars aren't worth anywhere near their initial investment. Basically, you do it for the love. If you need to ask the "is it worth it" question, it probably isn't....
