It has Euro fenders, but does not have any S spoilers? Still looks interesting.....has anyone taken a look at it?

I do think it would make a better street car once its running.....BUT after looking at what can happen to a 928 engine that sat for too long with coolant/water...I am a bit concerned for the motor if it wasn't stored dry.... the CIS system is probably a goner too...both pumps, distributor, injectors, and the other stuff I forget.....

I'm looking for a 5 speed LSD OB that will make a great NASA GTS2 racer....this would work out nicely....especially if the I can get the engine down to under 190whp....

However I am just watching.....so if anyone is serious with $$$ in hand...then dibs goes to you....

seems weird it doesn't have an AC condensor and extra fan too...clearly a non AC euro.... So that makes its daily driver potential much lower too

Race cars NEED titles.....some of your brothers have been known during a routine traffic stop to look at the Porsche on the trailer just to see if maybe it is stolen....also when CHP does a raid on a repair shop THEY check everything that happens to be at that shop. It also helps should you ever wish to sell it. There are very good reasons why cars have titles and foremost is the ability to convey OWNERSHIP.

I went through the "lost title" process in Texas recently. It is not a plesant process here, and I suspect that CA is a lot worse than TX. I would not buy another car without a title myself.....but if you do, plan to spend a lot of time standing in DMV lines, even more time with clerks who don't have a clue how to approach your problem, or care to solve it, and plan to spend a few hundred dollars minimum in various fees, posible over due taxes and penalties, and a few misc charges. I have done the process on 3 cars, two were very painful, one was easy as pie as the clerk was more interested in getting me out of her hair than finding a dozen ways she could tell me to get lost.....luck of the draw....but you really have to get and have title to drive, race, or part out. And that is only going to get worse. At least one of the race clubs here requires a title to join their race day...they do that to keep "ringers" or "replicas" out of certain classes for racing, but.....still a requirement....
