I didnt know any of those were made!
And I suddenly think they werent from the factory...

 

atleast it has a new "timing chain"!

 

ha, so besides the fact that there WERE 944 turbo cabs, they were only made in 1991! ah ha!

This one must have the ULTRA rare timing CHAIN option!!!! Only the most coveted option of all 944's hehe

 

That's a chopped 86 951. Fuchs wheels, too!

 

There was another post about this same car around 1.5 months ago.

I think I recall that either this car or another very similar one was a factory test mule for the eventual look of the cabrio. It was chopped by ASC America - the American wing of a German company that does lots of conversions. Of course, as we all know, Porsche didn't like that design and we ended up with a more refined look.

 

still looks pretty good...

 

Agreed..white w/white wheels and seats still makes it a very nice convertible !

 

I was looking at that car the other day, although I am not a huge fan of white Fuchs..

 

Buy my black Fuchs?
just kidding!

 

Haha, if I had enough money to even buy the thing..

 

You can also tell by looking at the windows. Cab windows have a rounded corner... this car's windows have the sharper corner we all (except Luis!) have on our coupes.

 

nice catch

 

this is an 86 turbo converted by someone to a covertable- looks nice but not nearly as nice as the factory did-well whoever the factory had did the conversions.

 

not that the factory conversion was all that great either...they sawed the b pillars and in other placed too..when you have all the guts out of a cab, it is apparent they are pretty crude conversions

 

There were 3-4 different companies that bid on the job and ASC was the low bidder for the project.

I just looked in my EWE Book#3 after the last thread on this car and there is a good shot of a cab study done back in Septermber 1985 that was a 951 with Fuchs that had been converted. Looked nice. It wasn't done by ASC, but a german comany (Bauer? I think. I need to check when I get home). It was a euro spec car.
