I've contacted the seller and waiting to hear back with a few questions. (trans, brakes, control arms, etc) A light weight Turbo would be fun and I have a spare motor at home.

Depends on what's been done so far and how far the conversion was taken.The assumption is made that the motor is anchor quality only. If it's clean I can always turn it back into an N/A with spare parts from my Mystery Shed.

Sounds pretty good, but it says it was blowing smoke due to a damaged cylinder??? Looks like another engine rebuild would be in order...
Good car to part out maybe, Ill take the steering wheel.

Definately a good deal. If I lived near by, I would take it for sure.

Looks like a na engine used with a turbo and blew it. But heck engines are cheap, throw an NA back in and just go drive it.

Yeah, cool rims. Too bad they're not here and probably wouldn't fit a 924S anyway.

I doubt it, it doesnt seem like expenses were spared. 951 suspension w/ weltmeister sway bars...

Besides, it was done at a shop.

At worst, it's still a nice pile of parts.
