I think it is an S2 cab with a 968 rear on it.

What tips you off that its an S2 Cab? Looks like a 968 cab to me. Other than the third brake light being removed, it looks exactly like a 968 cab to me. Am I missing something?

black rear end of 944/968, nice wheels, can't read the sign reflected on the trunk lid, could be a turbo from ROW with that foreign license plate, uh, what do you want me to think about it?

with a foreign plate, it could be a 951 cabriolet w/ 968 rear end, except it doesn't seem to have the "PORSCHE" lettering between the tail lights

It's a copy of a 968 rear from a german company. It different from a 968 in a few things:

1) it doesnt say "PORSCHE"

2) it doesnt fit flush on the rear quarter panels

3) the top is cut a bit so that it just fits in the space provided by a standard 944

4) I dont think it has a bumper plate under it

I think it looks pretty cool on that car but I go between liking it more than the standard 944 rear end and prefering the standard 944 rear end.

Btw, it is on a 944 Turbo Cabriolet.

There is a guy doing a similar swap over on the turbo board. Looks pretty nice to me.

How' bout a brown picket fence...



Mr. Opossum says, hey, there are no body/panel lines in that rear clip photo like the white 968 cabby shown. Mr Opossusm is smart. At least smarter than jjjr944. But that's not saying much.
