I think it's fake,the 924S came out in 86',why would the prototype be a 88'.
Anyway,do you know the 924 prototype?

The GULF car in my avatar it was also '88 and with late dash, 5speed. I also thought that it's just a dash swap but when I removed all interior there where no signs it’s a swap.

You can tell if it is original by checking former owners. If first owner is Porsche factory (or holding company) and it has been 1-st owner for several years, then it can be geniuine.

Also you can ask for VIN and check from Porsche.
If you think James car, then it was 951 prototype.

Yes, fredis GT's Gulf racer that is now mine is original 924S with oval dash and it was NOT a conversion. Also VIN says it's an 944 from 82: WPOZZZ94ZCN600051.

And it was NOT a fake

As long as that doesn't interfere with your "1 of 1" status, thats all I am concerned about.

It looks like it has a dash cap in the last photo. It was just the lighting.

It would be very difficult to build a platform capable of accepting an engine both in the front and the int rear / middle. The prototype seems like a combination of 968 and 924 with a little bit of 914 It would be nice anyway ! Are there any more photos ?
