Any idea where he got the bronze anodized phone dials? A good look!

powder coating, almost anywhere. I'm doing my 911 wheels for my 951 the same way.

I don't get it. This is a standard 217hp Turbo, not a Turbo S. It has 127K miles, a hacked up interior and a poseur paint job. Doesn't even have limited-slip.

If this was a Turbo S or an '89 Turbo, maybe... but then you still have that awful interior.

What's the appeal again?

eye of the beholder i guess...i think that interior is kick-***.
yes it's just a regular turbo but it looks like it's been taken care of and put together with care/thought...and it LOOKS like a fancier 944.

I think the interior is awesome as well.
Cool looking car but would you drive it on the street looking like that?
Wheels are a great touch as well.

I like it. It definitely has the cool factor going for it.

That car needs a roll/harness bar and racing seats. I'd drive it to and from a track but nowhere else, which does sort of reflect on the fact it isn't an "S". Did the builder also pay tribute to the suspension? Brakes?

Sorry, read the ad, answered my questions. It looks like a "makeover" to me, new hairstyle, nails and mascara. Doesn't say much about upgraded mechanicals.

The paint is mostly original.

It's a layered artwork, not printed.
I'm having a hard time understanding how both of these statements can be true. If the livery is painted, how can the paint be "mostly original"? If the livery is "layered artwork" and is not "printed", I assume that means that it is not vinyl, so... what is it?

Looks cool both in and out. But it does seem odd to got to the effort/expense to create a high level "street" focused interior in what at least outwardly appears to be a race car.
